Picked up a new (to me) daily drive a couple weeks ago.

Hey guys. I just bought my 4th Regal last Friday. My previous 3 were an 87 Regal T, an 87 GN and another 87 Regal T (all turbo cars).

Here's my latest.

1 owner (elderly woman) since new (1997).
17.3K original miles!!!

I got a hell of a deal on it.

I had pretty much narrowed my search down to Pontiac Grand Prix GTPs, Buick GS's and Ford SVT (4-door) Focuses with under 50k miles with a price limit of $7500. (Cars with lower miles, some comfort and a little bit of balls that get 30mpg highway and can be had in my price range.) All the GTPs I could find local were ragged out turds. The 4-door SVT Focuses are pretty rare, a bit pricey and little too borderline rice. Ultimately, I would have liked to find a black or silver Regal with a charcoal bottom, but due to the convenience of this car being local and the very good price, I had to jump on it. I stayed well below my $7500 price cap.

1997 Buick Regal GS (supercharged)

First mod installed Saturday. (Houston, we have blower whine.)

Just how far below your cap did you pay for that? That's a SWEET ride. I stole mine as well. Had 70,000 on the clock, and they were babied. A no rust ride from Az, for 3200 out the door. I freakin love these cars too. Very quick, and solid like a brick ****house. Very tight cars.

crazedlist.org : search craigslist like a madman " search craigs list like a madman " you have to install firefox to run it but it is very powerful for finding deals

I've had people tell me my GTP sounds like a cappacino machine after I put the K&N on mine.. lol

 

[Turbo6Smackdown]

LOL. That's funny because I hear the espresso machine every day where I'm at lol. They do sound like that though. Mine does at idle for sure.

Awesome car man, take care of it. Ones in that shape are getting hard to find!
