I know I keep posting stuff like this, lol. But stuff keeps falling through such as my Jeep being wrecked other circumstances. So what I 'm looking at now is 3 different vehicles.

The first option is this 2000 Olds Bravada. Has 216K but a brand new 4.3 from Jasper, and a 2 year old transmission. The place is willing to take my car on stock wheels and me give them $750 on top.



The next option is a pretty stock 1999 Mustang with a 3.8 V6. Has a few issues but I could trade even.





Right front bumper is a little misaligned on right side due to a screw being missing.



Interior is not great, people who have it smoke, passenger seat has a big tear in the stitches, driver door handle is loose.



Rear bumper has these scrapes.

The 3rd option is this BEAUTY! A 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora with a 4.0 V8. 160K for $3500. Very nice wheels. I'd like to get the place to trade as close to even as possible. I'll update after I have gone when they are there.

 

pass, pass, pass.........

 

The first one is okay, the second one isn't that great, but I really don't see why you are saying pass on the 3rd one.

 

I may have missed something but what is wrong with your Monte.......

 

It's got a few things wrong with it, but mostly I'm looking for something different that I like more. What's wrong with the Oldsmobile?

 

Whatever you do is cool, but I've referred so many people to car forums other than the MCF and I've also checked other forums for answers and they have nothing compared to the MCF! I say keep your Monte.......

 

Eh, SUV's aren't my style, I'd rather have a truck..

That Mustang looks ragged out..

Here's some nice info on Auroras
2001-2003 Oldsmobile Aurora: Full Review - Consumer Guide Automotive

That would be the one I'd lean towards... But honestly, it's still a FWD GM, so it will drive much like your Monte, with similar known transmission issues. And the gas mileage isn't that good, but ultimately test drive stuff and get the car that feels the best to you. Good luck!

 

The Bravada isn't bad but I wouldn't trade your monte for it. The mustang looks like its too beat up. They should pay you to take it. The aurora looks pretty nice. I think they are gonna want a lot for it. I do like the style of them and almost bought one when I bought my Monte.

 

There's nothing wrong with the way the monte handles really, and my family hasn't ever had that many problems with GM transmissions. The gas mileage honestly isn't that bad, it's better than the bravada.

Yeah the aurora is my favorite definitely, and They're asking $3500 for it, they shouldn't ask a lot for a trade.

 

They will prob ask a bit more than u think on trade for the Aurora, i wouldnt even consider that mustang its been run hard & wrecked a few times
