timberwoof · 01-17-2008, 04:18 AM

Man our patrol cars don't even come close to that.

GregFarz78 · 01-17-2008, 05:08 AM

Fugly old person car...typical ford 300hp v8 to move that tank around

I'd pass for 19k or a little more you can probably find a 05 GTO

stillriza · 01-17-2008, 08:56 AM

Willy, your just itching to buy a new car arent you..?

first the Grand Prix, G6 then the Imapala SS, then this.

If you want something with lots of power, why not go the way of Hoss and get your self an rx7 and turbo the bish. Easy 300 horses on that thing and with the weight of those cars, they will eat anything on the streets.

Or turbo a mazda6..
A mustang cobra..
a wrx with boost..

There lot's of diff routes available with cheaper cars ..money left over goes into mods. Just an idea.

And NO, dont get a maurader! Nassssssty. Mite as well get a lincon LS.

And GTO aren't allowed in Kanada!

I would pass. For that kind of money you can get a Cobra, or Hella nice Fbody. You could even get a nice used newer Mustang. Grand Prix GXP if you want a v8. My mom has a normal Mercury Grand Marquis and its such a loaf. Crazy reliable but i wont recommend it to anyone under 50.

The reason im looking at other cars is that my transmission is going, but its only $3000.00 to fix it. $2700.00 for the tranny and $600.00 to put it in, but I get $500.00 for my old one, so I'm going to the bank tomorrow to get a loan.

Don't ask for a loan at the bank

Unless, you want to bend over backwards for them

Look into getting a "Line-of-Credit".

Example:
ScotiaLine VISA Account

I have one unsecured ScotiaLine Visa line of credit account at Prime Rate+2%.
(You pay interest on it, only if you carry a balance or do a cash advance/write a cheque on it.)

I have another line of credit with American Express at Prime Rate+1.75%

Note: Prime Rate in Canada currently is at 6.00%

PS: Don't fall for their "insurance" if you can't work or to pay off the debt in event of your death.
It is a scam for them to get more money from you.

That Crown Vic video was damn impressive!

I already have that scotia visa, my limit is $2000.00 I owe $1100.00 to them.

I don't think so...ScotiaLine® VISA.

Minimum line of credit limit is $10K, with an interest rate of prime rate+1.9% to 3.9% (currently 6.9% to 9.9%).

Check it out, since you already are a Scotiabank client.
They offered this to me after my car loan with them was paid off.

PS: If you get one.
Transfer your higher rate interest rate Visa (or any other credit cards that have a higher interest rate) balance to it.

stillriza · 01-18-2008, 06:15 AM

I opened up a line of credit, transfered my visa rate and car loan to it. Such a huge saver! My loadn will be payed off in 2 years now instead of 5!

RAZE · 01-20-2008, 05:04 PM

I love the exhaust on those cars, but I'd invest $19k elsewhere first.

williamGT · 01-20-2008, 05:41 PM

well I'll see if I get approved tomorrow on my line of credit, I went there on friday so I'll find out tomorrow. This is for my transmission.
I love the mercury but its big.

Hodge · 01-21-2008, 02:41 PM

the marauder is sick.. you can do a lot to those... and also just keep it simple and it looks good either way. I'd tint, throw on some more aggressive 5 spokes and call it a day

williamGT · 01-21-2008, 10:32 PM

Well I got declined from TD bank Line of credit. So I tried Scotia bank. I have my visa and car loan through them, wish me luck.
