2002 Grand Prix with 200,000 Miles – should I buy it?

At the local dealership they have a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix with 200,000 miles on it, its 95.
I havnt looked at it in person but the pictures shown seem to be very nice, the seats look a little worn but nothing a seat cover couldnt fix.
I believe its the SE model.
This car would be my first car, I am 16.
Do you think this car will hold up for 6-12 months or so?
Or do you think its a waste of money?
Also what are the chances of me getting a better price?
Is it worth 1695?

Thanks!!
Here is the link to the car if you want a better look!!!!

How can i make the inside of my car my own? I want to decorate it so it has personality.?

Okay so i love my car its a red 97 Pontiac grand prix and im paying for it out the yin yang! but the inside is boring and very unlike me. I am sharing a room with my six year old sister (im 16) and my car is the only place i can call my own! so i want it to show some dazzle!
so far ive pretty much got the front of the car decorated but i also want the back seat decorated.

in the front ive got
On the rear view mirror-
rainbow smell good thing (i realize that’s not wat its really called)
bead necklaces
fuzzy handcuffs (my friend put them there and doesn’t have a key)
sunglasses

matchingg stearing wheel cover, seat belt shoulder pad, and cd holder

since i don’t have much money i didn’t want to waste it on getting seat covers so on my seats i put tank tops on them then my friends and i went even further and put hats and scarfs on then to (we named them Thelma and Louise)

but i have nothing for the back

any suggestions?
and if anything what did you do to decorate your car?

ps i dont want to spend much money at all
i have 400 dollars worth of bills a month that im paying for my self

Is there something i can buy to cover the back speakers in my trunk so they dont rip from my subwoofers?

I have a 2005 pontiac grand am with 2 12 inch subs in the trunk. When the subs hit the pressure in the trunk is making the back speakers flex way tomuch and they will eventually probably rip as a result. I know that they sell speaker baffels to put over the back of them but i dont think they will hold up because they are only foam. I have heard to fold my back seats down but they dont fold down. Is there some kind of box i can buy to isolate them from the trunk? I have in the mean time faded my music to the front speakers but it does not sound as good. I dont mind if it will decrease the performance or bass response from the back speakers as I have the subs formy bass. They are stock 6×9’s.

There is rodent poop in my car; how can I tell if they are still there/have caused internal damage to my car?

PLEASE READ:
This car is a 1974 Pontiac Grand Am. I keep it in a garage for the majority of the year. The weather is usually too sucky to take it out. I don’t run it often. I have the windows/roof closed and the car covered with a car cover when it is in storage (AKA: a garage I pay for). When I took it out to drive this summer, there were pooplets on the floor mats and seats. I set a trap on the floor of the car (where I found the poop) for a little under a week, but nothing. There was no food/garbage in the car while it was in storage.
The car does NOT smell like rodents, pee/poop, or dead animals, so I figure they left, but where should I first look to be sure?
Also, how should I go about checking the wiring and other under-the-hood components for damage?

DO NOT JUST TELL ME TO CLEAN/GET RID OF THE CAR.

Does anyone know anything about used car lemon laws in California?

I bought a used 2006 Pontiac G6 in 2007. The car seemed to have been in great condition. Shortly after the brakes went bad. I got them replaced. Again, steering was shaking and the brakes seemed bad. I changed the brakes regularly. I recently got my rodors turned, which seemed to help for about a week. I opened my back door to put my niece in her carseat and then opened the front door to put my purse in my seat…. my side panel completely ripped off the rear door. I ran a carfax and found that the vehicle had been in an accident. This was never disclosed to me at the time of purchase. I got a copy of the accident report from the police department. It said the accident was a 3 and their ratings are from 1 being the least, 5 being the worst. The accident said LSD-3, which is left side distributed… which is where my panel ripped off. I took it to the manufacture dealership and they replaced my panel on the back door, but not the front one. I started having more and more issues with the shaking of the steering wheel and pumping of the brakes. It did not matter how fast, or slow… the steering shakes bad. The car also pulls to the right really bad… and my tires go bad quickly. I took it to the dealership I purchased it from and talked to the General Manager, who said he had his legal department look into it. They did nothing. Said they would fix my car, did not fix my car. Said that his parts and repair manager fully inspected my vehicle and that he saw it had been in another accident: Rear ended. He showed me where the rear spoiler and bumper had been replaced with after market screws and a slightly different paint color and basically accused me of having been the one to wreck the car. I have never wrecked this car. This is exactly how I bought the car off of their lot. He said it would be their word against mine and that they would never put a car that looked like that on their lot so that it would basically be a waste of time to do anything about it. Is this true? I feel like I have a case against them. I believe the brakes are bad because of the accident that happened before I owned the car. There is paint on the trunk liner where they didn’t cover with plastic when they did the overspray and the screws are chrome, they didn’t paint over them. Can anyone who has been in a similar situation please help me out, or give me some advice? Thank you!!!

Will my car insurance go up?…It was not my fault!?

Okay here is the deal…

I just got a 2007 Pontiac G6 about a week and ahalf ago. This sunday I was getting ready to go to the store when I jumped in to my car I notice my two side mirrors were missing. Now why would any one steal that?????

My car has leather seat, a system, in other words, everythging!
Why the side mirrors.

Anyways I filed a police report, but I’m not sure if I want my insuance comp. to pay for it because I think it might go up. Maybe not right away but later on, or next year. I have Fred Loyal Full Cover.

What do you think?

What do you think?

I am purchasing a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. The price of the car 12 ,290. They are taking off 200 b/c it is an internet sale, plus the value for my trade in so all together it is going to be about ,000. The car is in great running condition. There is a rock ship taken out of the windshield which they are going to fix for me, and it has brand new tires that need to be sealed and they are doing that too. The only thing is that it is used and there is a minor dent in the rear passanger side door that they cant fix but are getting me an estimate for. The car has about 40,000 miles on it heated seats all power. Is this a good deal? And if they cant get a good estimate does anyone have suggestions for removing a dent, or covering it up? You cannot really see it unless you are looking for it, so I guess that it is not that major. Thanks.

which of these cars is the best deal for the money?

Changing ‘96 Bonneville Shifter and Pedals?

Hi, I have a 1996 Pontiac Bonneville, automatic.I want to change the gas and brake pedals, or covers rather.

Will any pedals I get at stores such as pep boys or auto zone work? I jut have to unscrew the bolts behind the pedals and put on the new ones, not difficult right?

And also I’ve been thinking about maybe changing the shifter to a new one since mine is old. How hard is it to change it? (Mine is on a center console between the front seats)

Could anyone provide me with links to a site that shows how to change shifters and/or pedals? I did a search on Google but didn’t see one on the first dozen or so pages. I put in a CD player with the help of a friend and I know some basic car maintenance so if I could find a guide I’m sure I could do it myself. Thanks.

Bonus question: is there any website or store (other than the mechanics) that I can order Pontiac parts from? Like speaker covers, AC vents, you know all those parts of a car that sometimes break or fall off with time?
