IDK if I can vote. I done think any of them are the best choices. I dont like dodge, That impala was used as a rental car and you dont want a rental car. C has been sold. I guess If I had to Id go with teh GP, but then again, I dont know what engine it has in it??? And Im not too big of a fan of hte impalas unless they are the SS. I think you should do a little more looking around.

I removed choice "c" since it's been sold. But I can always put it back in if you want.

As for the other choices, let me read the ads first. Be back in a sec...

The Charger is a Hemi with a police package. But since it's a 2006, and the fact it was used as a police cruiser, means it's got 70,000 very hard miles on it. Does it even have a stereo in it? Some police departments don't get stereos put into their cars from the factory. And most importantly, you only have 14 hours left to bid (as of my typing this). As cool as it would be to be able to say you own a former policecar, I'd pass.

2006 Impala LT 3.9 litre (choice B) -- This was originally a rental car. Normally I would say run away screaming in the other direction. Because they usually get the pig snot beat out of them. It's also the 3.9 litre engine. Which there isn't really a lot of choices out there for aftermarket parts. So if you intend on doing some engine mods, your still kinda limited in your choices.

The 2007 Grand Prix looks nice. Too bad the ad is kinda vague. Doesn't say much about the car, or what's in it. I would call that one and get more info on it.

Choice E sounds good without knowing any of it's background. But it's got a lot of miles on it for a two year old car.

I would have to make either the Grand Prix or choice E my first pick. Depending on the details of the Grand Prix. Next would be the Charger. My last choice would be the 2006 Impala rental car.

I would have to go with the Grand Prix - but personally I don't like any of the choices.

I put Car "C" back into the poll. The car got no bidders. So it's possible they may re-list it.

A junior edition is only worth $3,500? How depressing.

But I don't want to hi-jack the thread, so I'll leave it at that.

I like the idea of a hemi Charger for that price, but come on, it was a police car, and that means it has had the **** run out of it because cops don't give a d*mn about their cars.

My parents bought used police cars at the auctions for years, we'd have to get a new one about every other year at least because they just didn't run much longer. They would buy them with anywhere from 50-70k on them and they had a hard time making it to 100,000 back in the 80's and early 90's. Plus, they're usually very plain inside, nothing fancy at all going on.
