Default Thinking about buying 00 Grand Prix Gt coupe

It has front frame damage, need a tune up, and muffler work need to be done also has 157K miles on it. Should I buy it for $700-$900 bucks. Just want some opinions and thoughts on the subject. Thanks

Frame damage is never a good idea to touch.

Depends on how bad the damage is, if its really wadded up its deff not a good idea but if its minor than it can be brought back

But Grand Prixs are a dime a dozen. Might not be worth the headache for $900

They are a relatively cheap vehical. Odds are you could get a decent running and looking one for ~$1500. Would need a little work but I've seen people get them for that much and have minimal problems.

You get what you pay for. My mother's '99 has just had its gaskets leaking. The engine is on its death bed. Not uncommon for those cars.
