I took driver’s ed. in an '02 Century and I hated that car. Very confining ☹
The Limited came with leather though. And the '01 has the same engine as me 😛 There’s just more power that seems to be missing when driving lol
And don’t get the 4 cylinder

One very overlooked thing about buicks is their lack of resale value.
If you are going to buy one of these things - I hope to God you keep it for a long time.
decent cars but for the price you can probably pick up something better.

Good point, many people do not consider resale value when estimating the cost of owning a car.
It could make a $5,000-$10,000 dollar difference in the cost of owning a car.
That is why I hate leasing, you get ZERO dollars at the end of the lease.

Yeah… I think I may look around a little more. Tom(trueblue) kind of turned me on to the 300m’s now lol.

with the mustang as a trade in (I’d be rolling over around 1600.00 from that loan onto my new one) no more than around 6-7K. It kind of sucks, I got myself sort of stuck between a rock and a hard place ☹

the century… their giving me too good a deal to pass up 🙂 (thier giving me almost all of what I owe on the mustang, so I wont have anything to roll over, plus cutting 1500.00 off the price of the Buick).
are the 3100’s good for power? Say with a cam and good flowing exhaust/intake and misc other stuff… wonder if I can get it to the 200whp mark?

Good for you Steve. I just know the 3100 run a long time if you take care of it. I dont know much about performance with them.
Whats the bolt pattern, Im selling some wheels cheap.

If you car is the same as a regal then it probably has a 5x115, witch is the same as the gtp. 5x114.3 fit just fine and recomend use of hub rings witch I also have and will give with the wheels.
If you serious we can test fit.
