get a touring model instead, base models dont have lsd.

 

touring models cost a good extra grand or more. i havent really found many that were 99+ that were even in my price range. so i have to stick with what i can get. if you spot any touring models send me a PM or something though. i would love the have one.

 

its not the end of the world or anything, you can swap trannies later on. just easier to not have to.

 

both give him a call. he also works on sr swaps for the g20's

 

10700rpm
ya i posted up that car a little while back its a p10 those are p11s

 

i think im gonna be going for the white car. my dad offered me $1000 if i live with him for a while when i move back to massachusetts. so now i get a free place to stay and money for a better car. do you guys think the mileage is worth the extra $2k?? im gonna try and talk them down a good 600 bucks. but im not a very good talker.

also, anyone know anything about these cars that would go with me to check it out? its on falkenburg in brandon right across the street from the ice rink and next to du point paint. the place is "Metro Auto Group Inc." anyone heard of them? you have to make an apointment to see the cars cus they dont have a lot to store them at, i guess its not a full time used dealership.

here's some more pics of the car:

 

btw, ive never bought a car on my own, so this is why im askin for the help. to be honest, i dont really know what to look for as problem points. so all help is appreciated.

 

That car will literally last forever. I'd go for the lower mileage one, but you're not going to go wrong with either.

What to look for? First of all, run the VINs through Carfax just to make sure they weren't fleet vehicles, or wrecked, or had the mileage rolled. Check the tires and see if they match and have even wear. Look under the hood, in the trunk, in the wheel wells, and in the door jambs for overspray for repairs or other indications that it might have been in an accident. Of course test drive it. It should track straight, not have any rattles (or any bad ones), and should be a lot more ballsy/fun than your Sunfire. If anything seems out of place or odd, ask a question about it. Here's a start: ask the owner of the white car when the battery was changed. It is obviously an aftermarket (AC Delco) unit.

 

i ran the car through carfax, it was owned by a business and used as a commute car. it was only used for 10,500 miles a year though, so im assuming it was just for business purposes and not a bring home business car. is that still bad?

im planning on bringing it to a dealership to have it inspected by the people who know the cars best. and im also going to do an inspection myself just for the things you noted. i have to ask, what am i looking for when i ask when the battery was changed??

 

oh man..my cousin popped in one of those G20 ECU's in the B14..
it makes a big difference! its like..one of those cheatcodes or unlockables in video games...but it was real life..
sorry to be off topic

G20 would be my sporty lil daily if i had some extra money..
GO FOR IT MAN!
