check out cars.com for used stuff. They have some decent deals in this area.

The cobalts look like pretty decent cars too. I damn near bought one myself but opted for the Jag instead.

Guess I cant get GM supplier discount...

We only make the 8.1 L Diesel crank and the LS-7 Crank (zo6) and soon the new LS-9...

But no supplier discount for us...

bitches!

what are you sure??? thats stupid as shit id call and ask them...

ls-9 are you talking the blue devil crank???

I think the Alero is essentially a Grand Am, while the Intrigue is closer to the Malibu, IIRC. Glad you decided against the Aurora, my friend bought a 96 and has shelled out over $2000 in the past 4 months in repairs (while still making payments). He finally has it paid off and the transmission is shot!

I would opt for an older Accord/Camry or Corolla, but I know how much foreign cars are hated on here

My Accord has just over 80K on it and all I've replaced are the battery and tires.

If I had to go GM I would look into some of the more reliable models: malibu, impala, etc. and avoid the grand ams/caveliers.

LS-9 will be a new revamped motor. Its similar to the LS-7 crank by design but I think the stroke is less and the spacings may be a bit different.

As for cars.

The Alero is the lowest in the Olds series in its years. But that 3.4 is nothing to sneeze at. Its still built good. They handle well and look nice. Affordable also :)

yea now that i think of it it was an old 4x4 engine like the 350

I'd go with a used Ranger, reliable as hell, good gas mileage (esp 4 cyl, 5 spd.) and you can get low mileage Rangers cheap. Everybody needs a truck every once in a while.
