i need used car opinions

[justice]

Hello all! I am buying a used car and need some opinions. First of all my price range is $6000-$10,000Cdn ($4400-$7400US). I would like to buy GM because i can get cheap parts. I dont really like Civics and such, but nothing is out of the question. Im after a midsized sedan or coupe, late 90's and reliable, but performance is also a concern! Need a college car for 4 years, but got some cash to spend.

Please use pros and cons.

Examples of what ive looked at thus far:

1995+ Grand AM/Grand Prix
1995+ Monte Carlo
1995+ Avenger
1995+ Neons
1995+ Buick Regals

Please help!

a good car the is sold by gm but practically a mitsubishi is the dodge stealth. probably the best gm car for your price range, it has style and speed in one package but i really haven't heard much about how reliable they are.

I'd try and find a late 90's Buick Regal GS. They took GM's 3800 Series II V6 and supercharged it for 240 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. If not that, try a Grand Prix or Monte Carlo.

take the grand prix for sure of those cars you have listed the monte carlos have been nothing but trouble

the Pontiac Grand Prix GTP and Buick Regal GS have been supercharged since 1997. They are both front-wheel-drive, four-door sedans making 240 horsepower and 280 torque, and you can get older models of them for $6-7K. They seem to be your best bet, since the Monte Carlo wasn't supercharged until 2004.

The GTP came in 2 door varients too.

The Dodge Stealth is not a GM, those cars tend to have many issues with higher mileage. I would avoid them. Also, try to avoid GM cars with the 3100 V^, as these were prone to head gasket failure and are generally not as good as the 3800 (3.8 V6, supercharged or non). The 3800 is a great motor.
