badprix Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 Went to one of the local used car dealers and saw a pristine '93 SE. The interior was flawless and the only thing wrong with the exterior was the rubber on the bumper was fading somewhat. The car only had 93k pretty good eh? but then I popped the hood, there it was staring me in the face 3.1 I winced, looked at the salesman, shook my head very slowly and left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91GranSport Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 What's wrong with the 3.1 MPFI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badprix Posted May 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 I already have one and if Im going to pay 5 grand then I want something a lil different but I've been thinking about buying this car because Im tired of driving my '78 Chevy 4x4 with 4'' suspension to deliver pizzas in, the gas is killing me. If I buy the lil red SE then my current car will become the project car as Im about to say f*ck the head gaskets Hello L67 What do you guys think?

badprix Posted May 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 also would this car equal the performance of my current one with the same mods? the only diff between the two is the '93 has less miles, shifter on the steering column('89 floor), analog gauges(compared to my '89's digital dash), and the quad headlights.

Robby1870 Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 Heres what I say. Since you need a head gasket, rebuild that motor and turbo it. It would be one helluva project, plust it would occupy your summer. Robby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badprix Posted May 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 lol Robby, If I cant change the head gaskets myself just think about me doing a turbo project. :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heza Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 also would this car equal the performance of my current one with the same mods? the only diff between the two is the '93 has less miles, shifter on the steering column('89 floor), analog gauges(compared to my '89's digital dash), and the quad headlights. assuming that this '93 se has mini-quads..it's a two door. i didn't think two door prixs even had ever had the shifter on the steering column?? is this some rare breed two door prix with bench front seat??

badprix Posted May 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 5k for the car is way too much considering I can get a '94 Z28 with less miles for $500 less. But I love GP's! What's a guy to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 $5k is too much. As much as I'd like to see the price of used W-bodies go up - as far as the market goes, I don't think it's worth much more than $2500 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
