selling my geo, what should i buy??

[Apache]

My aunt has a saturn that body style. Good car far as gas mileage, and life of the car...but when I leaned against the 1/4 panel one day and the tail light about poped out...I figured id stay away from the saturn lol. One thing tho, dont have to worry about it rusting lol.

Let me get this straight. You bought a geo for $500. Since it's a GEO it's probably only worth that anyway. Now here comes a 16 year old girl who for some reason likes the car, and you're going to try and sell it to her for $1200 above what you paid for it? What did you sink into it to warrant a $1700 sticker? That sounds pretty optimisitic if you ask me....

I MIGHT SELL MY GEO FOR 3 1/2 TIMES WHAT I PAID FOR IT.

forget GTP's, get a 03+ accord v6. Thats 250hp without a supercharger AND you can get a 6sp manual Almost forgot a 3.5L shortblock swap [its 3L stock] gives you gtp torque levels too

I bought a 84 lesabre for $1000 with 107,000 miles. 6 months and 20,000 miles later it was sold for $1500 with no money put into it what so ever. With that $1500 I bought a 87 caddy with 87,000 miles. At 116,000 miles I sold it for the buying price. I don't think he's being over optimistic

TOM--
BUYING A LA SABRE FOR $1000 & SELLING FOR $1500 IS A 50% PROFIT

BUYING A GEO FOR $500 & SELLING FOR $1700 IS A 340% PROFIT

NOW I'M NO MATHAMAGICION BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE

look up the blue book on a 1992 geo storm. then take into account that it only has 41,000 miles on it.

tom, i would LOVE a v6 accord(old body style around 99 or so) but they are a little more on insurance wise.

there you go. i did it for you

edit: link doesnt work anyway, with all the options and the model storm mine is, the private party blue book is $1865 or around there.

=BTW, F-bodies used GM's bulletproof 3.8L V6 from 1993-2002.

Actually the '95 Fbody also used a 3.4 v-6, I've got a motor and tranny out of one sitting in my garage
