This car was previously my mother's car, but when I turned 16 I took over the ownership of the car. At first I did not like the look and feel of the car but it grows on you. I have made several modifications to the car (grille inserts, cold air intake, decals). I plan to convert the car to rear wheel drive, put the LS9 engine in, and put in a 6 speed manual transmission. I also want to customize the interior as well. I get great gas mileage (average 28 in the summer). I had to replace the water pump and intake manifold gasket each once but I've had no problems now for about 20000 miles. Everything breaks eventually, just spend a little extra money and time to take care of the car. I wash mine 1 per week.

I bought this car about a year ago and it had about 157,000 miles on it. The lady I bought it from used to drive down gravel a lot and I had to replace a hub and an outer tire rod... security light came on and cause my car to not start for 10 min each time as well as my idol staying at 1200 rpm but fix both problems by pulling out the ignition and cleaning the sensors. Excellent sound system and got 37 mpg believe or not the last road trip I made. It's had its ups and down and have put about $700 into it but only bought it for $1500. Take care of it and it will treat you right... if you don't, it will let you know. Mine now has over 170,000 and still runs like a champ.

Major problems with the ignition & computerized parts. Replaced the ignition, body control module, fuel pump, master power control module(last one was still under warranty). Four major repairs between 40,000 and 45,000 miles.

I bought this car in order to get out of another one. It turns out that I like it so much, I wouldn't have believed it either four months ago. It runs well, the service is great, and the ride compares with my friend's mercedes! The best part: The dash lights up red at night and the lights are automatic, don't ever worry about leaving lights on all night.
