I have come to the point that I want to sell my grand am. It is a 93 GT with the HO quad 4, 5 speed getrag transmission with 3.94 FDR. It has about 133,000 miles and is in overall good condition for its age. Since I have owned it, there has not been a single problem that forced repair.
THE GOOD:
Compression is great on all cylinders, leakdown results are good, cooling system holds presure, gas cap is good, new radiator cap, new battery, new spark plugs, new custom cold air intake, new long tube header with full 2.5" exhaust (all welded, no clamps), new rear brake hose, new front drilled and slotted rotors and pads, new drag radial tires on the front, 14" alloy wheels. It really is a fun car to drive.
THE BAD:
This is a 16 year old car. It is not a show car. The paint is peeling in a few places, I am working on touching it up a bit. The side skirts are cracked in a few places; the A/C could probably use a recharge; the gauge cluster is inconsistent at times; the front brake hoses could probably use replacing; there is currently no sway bar since I needed to take it off to get the header on, I can put it back on if needed, but I can't tell a difference when driving it.
OVERALL:
This car is a blast to drive, but if you're looking for a cross-country road trip car, this probably isn't for you. I would trust it anywhere, but it shows its age a bit, and I enjoy it as a second car as opposed to a daily driver. It is a great value for what the cost is. It has been to the drag strip a few times, and it keeps up with cars that most people would never expect. I hate to sell it, but I am ready to move on to something bigger.
My asking price is $1600, and I am pretty firm on that for now. The car is in Mankato, MN. I will post updated pictures within 2 days. Here are some older, but pretty accurate pictures:

Get all the parts you need in a pile, and drive the car into it.
They will find their way into the correct places.
