1991 Chevy Beretta GTU



3.1l v-6

5-speed

new tires

new enginge

new transmission

body in good shape

interior is decent, missing plastic bezel where radio was

white with factory spoiler painted with red checkerboards (really looks OK...)

some type of aftermarket rims powdercoated to match color of car



900$



(gonna take digi cam when i go, and post pics, it's not the most beautiful car I've ever seen, but it'll be cheap transport)



Gonna drive it tomorrow or Thursday...



then decide.....



Gotta be better than the Blazer, plus that leaves me with 2k$+

to spend on system or whatever.......



P.S. The problem with the Blazer was the Ignition Control Module, replaced the coil and still didn't get any spark, so I guess i get to take off the distributor, and check that tomorrow... BLEH....

3.1 wasn't best gm v6 but, who cares! its new. score!

If you're having problems with chevrolet.. why did you buy another one? you could've gotten an old nissan or toyota beater for the price and not have to worry about mechanical reliability.. I'm just trying to see things from your point of view..

re-read post... How many miles do those tranny and engines last for?

Turbo Diesel.

My friend has over 300 000 kilometers on his...and it runs...like ****. The thing has constant problems. Make my RX-7 and diesel combined a very reliable force to be reconed with, lol. Diesel has the same km's as his lumina...diesel runs absolutely flawlessly...and gets great gas mileage...hell, its just been broken in!

Gonna go test drive the car in about an hour or two, should have at least 1k$ tomorrow (600$+ bonus check/Paycheck with 8 hrs overtime/150$ owed to me/and the rest of the money my friend owes me for the Blazer) so IF I like it, tomorrow will be the day https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

lxk199 02-19-2004 10:25 AM

didnt the GTU actually have a 2.8?

CrashFactory 02-19-2004 04:51 PM

depends on the year...or you may be right the GTZ had the 3.1 maybe, hell i don't know :P find out in 10 minutes :P I had an 89 Celebrity that had the 2.8 and it went, took a little bit to get up to speed, but once there it FLEW, but my truck had the 2.8 too and it sucked major ass, so i guess it's a matter of weight...



Sean

CrashFactory 02-19-2004 05:12 PM

Ok ppl here's the deal:



1991 Chevy Beretta GTZ

127,000 miles

3.1l FI V-6

auto ( https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png )

decent exterior (cept for a cracked rear bumper on the pass side and a piece missing from the center piece between taillights)

interior was OK, (you can tell where the radio was stolen and the AUTO SHIFT KNOB was stolen, WHO IN THE HELL steals an auto shift knob!?!? Has a Grant GT steering wheel, but no cover where the horn's sposed to be...)



Didn't get to start it as the battery was dead and the kid wasn't home, just his dad, who gave me all the info i listed before.....



What it needs:



Auto shift knob :P

Prolly a new steering wheel

tune up

speakers/radio (already got my **** picked out for that)

MAYBE a new bumper if i can get it in the color it is...



Sean

CrashFactory 02-19-2004 05:13 PM

Sean

CrashFactory 02-19-2004 08:59 PM

not even a "Pistons bad, ROTARY GOOOODDD!!!!"!?!?



I'm bored here ppl, entertain me
