I paid $14K for an '02 LX with 90K in great shape... only needed rear brakes and one engine mount replaced, $1.5K in repairs for $15.5K total.
That same ride in TO was $19K (private) and $23K (dealer)!

Go for the beater
Hi all. I had the same problem. Picked up the "G" in June with intent of driving it in the winter. Up where I live we tend to get lots of horizontal snow and drifting. The ground clearance on the Coupe ain't the greatest. Couldn't see myself replacing the air dam at $???. So I took the $2000. for winter tires and rims and bought myself a 92, Olds 98 Royal ($1800.) Stored the G at my Mom's place (free), took the collision off(-$600) and just put PL-PD ($200) on the Olds. The "Boat" is great in the snow and I saved money on the deal.
