Okay, lets just say you have $12,000 to spend and no chance of financing. You have no car and really really need one for work/school!! What would you buy with your $12,000?

Chevy Monte Carlo SS or Pontiac Grand Prix GT

97-2004 pontiac GTP, bonneville, Buick regal GS, Buick Park Ave ULTRA, with 3800 series I or II oe III engine or the supercharge.

Try and stay away from the northstar engine. very costly to repair/parts. engine are know for many problem. the plastic intake will air leak sometime. Over heating and trans issue once over 100,000 miles. Remember a car will last forever if service and maintain regularly.

for the record it's a 99 Cobra, I'm not joking about the choice =)

You'd be working too much to keep gas in it to ever have time to drive it... Meanwhile I'm cruisin' in my Prius getting in good with all the tree hugger chics

... but of course I'd have a midengine rear-drive V8 setup taking the place of the rear seats that I can switch on to embarrass those cocky Mustang kids

id get an 02 GT and throw some **** on it with the money left over. maybe one of those new GTO's... v6's, id go with a GTP and put some **** into it. if your more into the 4bangers id go with an SRT4, or RX8

I bought my '96 B3000 for $2500, so if you could find a deal like that, you would have plenty to spend on it or something else.

Stock 98 cobra. Or a 89-93 fox body and dump the rest of the money into making the interior immaculate. Then Do a few things to the engine, some paint, and rims.
