    IssacHayes posted about headers above, and I posted a link where you can buy them.

    I agree on black too, not ideal. My favorite that I've seen has been dark blue. But, you can't always get the perfect used car. I don't NEED another car at all, so I can afford to be patient. I'll let the color slide in favor of the sun roof. I don't care one way or the other about leather.

    The dealership never called me about the Malibu today. I have to stop by soon on business, so I might hassle them again (we're building our fiber-optic network right by the dealer, everyone likes high-end connectivity). I don't like playing the buying-a-used-car game they like to play at dealerships. I know what I want, and you have it or you don't. They're only offering $3300 for my Amigo, so I'm hoping to sell it private party. I have it on craigslist for $4700 OBO, which I think is fair.

    I went to school with the sales guy I dealt with, and I know he's just trying to make a living too. Whatcha gonna do...

      Exactly... I work in a garage with a dealership, so I know all about getting cheap cars... the thing is, we do try to ass rape. In the end though, we're likely to fold cuz we do wanna get cars down the road. With trades though they really do have to be exceptional for us to fold over...

      hey, funny thing... the seller I bought my reverse glow gauges from sent me another one by accident... I never got charged for it... so now I have a spare for a 97-03 Malibu

        I actually cashed out on the Amigo, sold it yesterday. I kind of know the guy, so I let him off with a fair deal. I'm out of debt now.

        There is a Malibu on craigslist that I could buy outright. $2900 for a black 2000 Malibu LS, 89k miles, sunroof, leather, etc. But I think I might just hold off for now. See how it goes with only the Trooper.

        I might buy a cheeeaaaap '92 Trooper off a coworker though. Thinking of scrapping it and putting the 3.2L in a 1st Gen. It gets around great but has body damage (someone forgot to put the eBrake on and it rolled off into the forest). Just needs a new starter.

            Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what really happened. :P It was a years ago, they were still driving to around until the starter went a few months ago. I'll talk to him tomorrow. I'm a glutton for punishment.
