update: haven't made a purchase, going to the bank sometime this week. The one i was looking at was sold. Another place has one but it has 142k on it and its priced at $3.8k Is it still worth it? 200 dollars for another 30k miles isn't my idea of a deal....

Base engine size: 2.2 L Cam type: Double overhead cam (DOHC) Cylinders: inline 4 Valves: 16 Torque: 150 ft-lbs. @ 4000 rpm Horsepower: 140 hp @ 5600 rpm Turning circle: 35.6 ft. Base engine type: gas is the engine specs. I posted this a first time and it didnt work not sure why

Im really liking the chevy, the manual just is turning me on so much D:

Changed the topic of the post but yeah I do have a family friend thats a mechanic that will probaly check it out for me. Thanks for the help.

So would u be comfortable buying one for 3-4k with 100-135k miles on it? I planned on a test drive to to make sure nothing crazy is wrong.

Price range would be 4k used, not much i know. Im not overly worried about gas usage either. Would something like this be alright? http://www.edmunds.com/pontiac/grand-prix/2000/features-specs.html?ps=used&style=13760 ALso how do u guys feel about pontiac, there seems to be quite a few on the used market at alright prices. Will it last 200k if i keep it on the up and up?

Thanks guys for all the replies. I assumed theyd all differ but consensus is get an i4 with the best hp and torq specs? also to whoever asked for what its for its a daily driver that wont be to much of a girl under the hood.

ty to both. Ok so on a i4 what should the specs be around? Hp and torq?

I wanted to get a v8 at first but the only ones in my price range are like devilles and I really wanted something more sporty. They had a lexus sc300 (sp the numbers might be off) but it had like 200k miles on it. Looking to stay under $4k and 130k miles

EDIT: performance wise which is better? 2000 pontiac grand prix gt-Having the bigger v6 but having a tad more miles and being auto and weighing 1k more OR 2002 chevy cavalier ls sport being a i4 with a 5 speed man. and less miles. Minus 1k pounds. Probaly was thinking 18-20 inch rims and low profile tires being my first mod. Next would probably be suspension (if needed not sure) then start with small engine stuff. Second question being, would diffrent suspention and low profile tires help engine wise? Im pretty sure larger rims don't but would the liter tire (low profile) and bigger rim just equal out weight wise? And suspension does that help the engine in anyway, do I want it as low as it can go and would it really go any lower with 19"s on? with out rub? Last parts not quite an engine question but its performance related. Third question, are these cars easy to work on? Thankyou guys a million.

Sansa fuze eq's KICK ASS....just saying (at +12db) Id keep ur mp3 player at around 3/4 volume wise just to be safe thats what I ussally do with stuff. What mp3 player do u have?

x2 and I'd definitely go the used route, caco is great and so is the f/s section here. Audioque is way cheaper than a sundown but I heard if your electric isn't the greatest than it suffers, but if your going to upgrade your alt and get some xs batteries it should be fine, not to mention you can run the a.q's at 16 volts, idk if you can do that with the sundowns.

Trades?

I just want to let everyone know that I am a officers of the law and I'm recording this entire conversation. *drinks coffee and eats donuts while I laugh*

The 4 chan option u wouldnt get stereo properly because tweeters would be on left and woofers on right. But with the stereo ud wire it like the diagrams above I believe except the channles would be ur l high and ur l low and ur r high and ur r low instead of 1/2/3/4 and 2 woofers or 2 tweeters to each. and with ur cross over u have to mind in wat ur tweeters are rated at so its not set up as sending through the full 100watts to it, idk if thats a built in feature or not, but id look at it.

Well I wouldnt try it again, dont want to ruin ur speakers, Sounds like ur deck is having some problems, Id take it out and test it, and does the sound continue or is it just one when u turn it on and if its only once wat happens when u try to play a cd or ur ipod.

He said his tweeters were 100rms right? then 2 of them hooked up at 200rms=100rms to each, nun the less my way is confusing but works in theory, if ur amp had a million epic features wicht it probaly wont itd work just fine. Also ull need a cross over for each channle of ur amp if ur only gona use one amp, cheapest way is to find a x with ohm matching and a 2 channle stereo/4 channle bridagble amp and run it from 2 channles instead of 4 (=2 x'es instead of 4)

Yeah as person above said ur gona need some kind of matching or ur gona get under/overpowered. EDIT: Wire two channles like this for the woofers http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=81#results and wire two chanles like this for ur tweeters http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=42#results EDIT 2: Ud need a amp with 4 inputs and a low and high pass, easier thing to do here is get a cross over

Well I see u already decided but Ima say wat i was going to anyway, Comps are a waste of time, U could get 2 cvx'es for 300-330 (15"ers) but this is irrelevant since ur not going with kicker anyway.

This thread lead to many lolz and i feel quiet warm inside, thankyou

What kinda subs did u buy that only had 1 voice coil O_O

As said above, 2 single coils yes, 2 dvcs no but if u have dvc u could get a amp that runs at 1ohm and PARTAY!!!!!

Pics or it didnt happen

l7's are overpriced....did u pay for them from kicker? way overpriced.
