Hrtbeat1 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 One of the guys at work has one. Pretty good grocery getter. With 100K on the clock find out when the timing belt/chain was changed, or if it has been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

page305 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Police Interceptor BABY!!! I have one, love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00chev Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 haha i would drive the hellllll out of one of those... but i want a coupe so i dont have to carry many people or else they will have to stuff into the back lol. went and looked at the car today. really clean aside from obvious every day abuse like, minor chips on the hood from rocks, scuffs on the rear bumper just behind the trunk... and where someone dinged the side molding on the pass. side door, just a little chip of paint of the molding. interior is very clean as well. just need to check how much insurence will be (bare minimum really) and test drive and check over it mechanically and might actually get it... if they can sell it for 3500 or a little less that would be cool.

black00chev Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) Well talked to insurence today... look like it wont cost me but $50 more a month to have this car and my truck insured. Now to test drive it and then decide if i want to drain my savings on it or just get a little personal loan.

Makes a BIG difference that way. Thats what I did and the police interceptor cost an additional 135 a year...

diggerdan11 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I know a guy with almost 300k on his 98 or 99 cavalier and he has never had any problems at all except your normal things, clutch, ac, timing belt etc..
