2003 GL2 v6

okay, what should i look for on this car? i am going to look at one tomorrow and well, i need to know if there is anything specific to look for onthe v6 2 door that i should avoid. it is at a dealership, so it should be fairly clean. it has 94K miles.

If i can get my hands on it, i will be a happy camper. specially after i start throwing money at milzy motorsports to make me parts :)

Lower intake manifold leak (Search), make them fix it right or drop the price.

Try all positions of the AC/heater/fan control system, make sure that's good.

Turn signal rapid clicking= bad hazard switch.

fuel gauge reading correctly at low fuel? if not, could mean corrosion around the pump module.

Noise from wheels when braking?

Feel under water pump for traces of coolant.

Noise when turning steering wheel, power steering pump.

Idle surging when lights turn on or w/AC on.

NO SURGING!


no rust, runs like a new car(after break in)
has alot of power compared to my little ecotec. shifts great, handles like a go cart almost.
Now i just hope i get approved for the loan. :)

I am not getting rid of my little ecotec. I am simply adding the v6 to the family.
I got approved, and i am going to put my DP on the new alero tomorrow. :) pictures to come ASAP.
