Progressive told me I can go where ever I want. They just recommend one of the network shops so I can get the warranty deal. I'm pretty good with cars, so I plan on doing a rather thurough inspection of my hoe's ass end...

Anyway, let is know what the estimates say.

I plan on taking more picks later tonight. I'll upload all of them to photobucket when I get a chance. I still haven't heard from the insurance rep, last I knew he was still trying to get a hold of the other guys involved in the accident.

Damn....glad you and the fam are ok!

Totaled!
 
Well, she's been totaled. I'm no longer a member of the Alero community. This sucks.

Anyway, I'm looking at a 2005 Buick LaCross CX. Can anyone run the VIN?

2G4WC532951244703

I searched on carfax, but didn't actually get the report, and it came up with 11 results. I just don't know what they are.

No, just the base model. What's the super? I didn't see that as an option when I looked on kbb.com.

bdyman 08-11-2009 04:23 PM
the lacrosse super is the same car as the grand prix gxp, it has the ls4 in it, as much as i like my gxp, i dislike the trans problems, mine is the 2nd trans

Beholder88 08-11-2009 04:35 PM
Well, I'm going to look at the Buick tomorrow morning. I want to get a good look at it and take it for a spin. We'll see what kind of financing we can get and hopefully we'll be on the road by Friday. If something's not right, I'll be looking at something else...

Naich 08-11-2009 04:45 PM
so I guess you're not interested in my Alero any more? I replied to your PM....

Sorry, the wife is the one paying for it and she doesn't want another one. I need the daily driver family car now, and the project car will be the cutlass. I really wish I could change her mind, I'd be all over your Alero.

Actually, I think I'd rather have the 3.6 which would be in the CXS.

Thank goodness that 2009 marks the last of the 3800.

I don't know though. Thing is, we still owe a little over $5,000 on the car. I just got the damn thing last year. Progressive gave me a place that's not too far from me, they call it a "network shop". I guess it's a place that is certified by them as a good repair shop, and they will guarantee the work for as long as I own the car. If it isn't totalled, I'll be able to get the work done, and guranteed, for free. I'll keep everyone posted.

i am 45 min north of philly 19438 harleysville pa

I dunno about best engine ever, but I agree its rock solid. Both the series I in rwd cars, and the series II in transaxle mounted fwd cars. Its generally good for 250k+ miles, as opposed to the ford 3.8 which spins its bearings at around 100k miles.

It's 90°, It can't run smooth without a balance shaft, a MASSIVE harmonic balancer and a split pin crankshaft. A V6 should be 60°. It was a V8 derived engine, just like the 4.3.


Also, the 3800 has been out of production for almost a whole year now yet they're still using it through the 2009 LaCrosse.
