This is not set in stone, but I am considering selling my car for a 02-03 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Galaxy silver. I would keep the hood and mods and put them on the GTP.

I want the supercharged power but want reliability as well and with my mod skills and abilities I'm sure doing a top swap would probably end up disastrous on my car.

Car payments suck but may have to put up with them longer if I want a new GTP but I think it would be worth it and I could get a coupe like I've always wanted.

What are some of the best used auto car sites on the net that I can look at?

This like I said isn't for certain but I'm going to get some prices and talk it over with my father when I return for thanksgiving.

Go to cars.com, autotrader.com and there are more sites but these are the main ones I use.

There's a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Galaxy silver/graphite interior (same as me) near me and I went and saw it today. It had Heads up display, blue overlays, tint, interior was clean, black leather just like mine, but the exterior was what made me go away from it. There were scuffs, dents, and a very cheesy "Grand Prix" banner across the front. The engine looked clean though and had better spark plug wires then stock, they were thick and blue (not sure which brand).

As for the rest of the car it checked out, it had Bose Speakers, and a cool mirror that displayed temp etc etc, I thought that was awesome about it. However I'm guessing it would cost 200-300 to get exterior all fixed up. It comes with the 3 tri spoke wheels but I told them I would be taking the hood off my car to be used on the It has 99k miles on it (my gt has 90k) and they are asking 6800 for it which to me seems a bit too high for it. What do you guys think?

Sounds too high for the year, mileage and body flaws.

Are you keeping or trading in your current GP? And yeah that seems kinda steep for the mileage, but not so much for the year I guess..see if you can find any comparable GP for cheaper and try to bring them down.

Debating weather or not too. I'd like to get rid of it quickly which is a sure way to do it but won't get as much as I could for it. Still up for debate weather or not I'm going to stick with same color, I was thinking maybe black would be better. But then I also would have to get WS6 painted again.

Would my grand prix 18" American racing wheels work on a 2004 GTP? Also assuming engines are the same my 3" Downpipe, K&N CAI would work?

So even though the 2004's use different K&N CAI's mine would still fit in there off a 2002?
