I’m planning to buy a 1997 Pontiac Firebird V6. Is there anything in particular I should look for when inspecting the vehicle? It looks pretty clean, asking price is $3200.
>V6How poor are you
>>29093474maybe he wants to put a 632 crate in it
>>29093474very
>>29093475I asked him and he says he doesn't. He just wants to straight pipe the V6 and add a black ice little tres air freshener.
>>29093474>V6Its a buick 3800. It will be reliable at least.
>>29093474This is what helped kill /o/ btw
>>29093587no, shrieking about trannies, ricers, wheel gaps, and BMWs is what killed /o/
>>29093471>Is there anything in particular I should look forYeah, a model with a V8>>29093641>one fag that can be filtered entirely out of existence with like three words is what killed /o/You're giving them too much credit.
>>29093641That's just one dropout Cali faggot, filters exist. Muh V8 elitism in every thread is just fucking annoying , if OP wants a V6 then that's his business.
>>29093641It was >tripfag circlejerks>laptime threads>three shitposters constantly derailing threads>cars becoming stupid expensive after the pandemic>AMG and M badges becoming appearance packages>sub-liter CVT crossoverslop>mods doing nothing against ban-evading shitposters
OP here. I’m reminded why I don’t visit this board much anymore, completely useless. Thanks for nothing.
The Buick 3800 is a good engine, people make commodores go alright with them, obviously not as good as the 5.0 but still not slow pieces of shit. Probably even better in a coupe like that.
>>29094472Just bear with these retards. At least take an obd2 reader with you and check if there are any codes. The electronics are all almost 30 yo at this point.
>>29093471Watch out for rust, leaky t-tops, front sway bar being snapped. Expect speakers to be toast, CD/cassette to not work, power window motors to fail, and some oil consumption. The drivetrain will outlive the rest of the car.235/55R16 is just weird enough to have no cheap options available now, but a close common size will fit if your shop is willing to mount them.t. Used to have 2000 V6 Camaro, it was shitty but supremely reliable
>>29093641>>29094437>angry pee-six postersIn most cases, especially in this one, the V8 really is head and shoulders above the V6. Also manual>auto whichever engine you get. 4L60s are trash.
>>29096480Meant to quote >>29093587 not >>29093641
>>29093488>Its a buick 3800. It will be reliable at least.Hmm, that's bonus.Might be able to Supercharge it at least..like the Regal GS>The Regal GS or GSX, equipped with the supercharged 3.8 liter V6 engine (L67) produced 240 hp (179 kW) and 280 lb⋅ft (380 N⋅m) of torque. I liked these suckers.
>>29093471>Is there anything in particular I should look foryes, literally any other car.
