Okay, I've been doing some research and negotiating and what not to purchase a newer car. As of the moment I have limited my options to two cars. I can buy a used 2003 Acura TL Type S with 48,000 miles on it after I trade in my car (Grand AM GT1 with about 38,000 miles on it) for $15,500. I really like this car however the higher mileage scares me.
The other car I am considering is a 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. If I went with this one it would be brand new. I still have some negotiating with them to do but potentially I could buy this for $17,000 (Max of $18,000). Obviously the Grand Prix doesn't have as many options as the Acura but it does have no mileage on it and would be under full warranty.
Here's a quick list of what the Acura has that Grand Prix doesn't:
6 disc CD changer
Bose Premium Sound
GPS Navigation System
Here's what the Grand Prix has that the Acura doesn't:
Heads Up display
Okay, so what are your thoughts? I know most of you probably don't care but I just thought I'd try to bounce this off a few of you and get some impressions.
