Ok, so after getting a new head gasket for $1400 on my 1991 Grand Prix, now I need a new manifold sensor: $100 parts and labor (oh, and it took a $100 diagnostic charge to find that out).
Ok, I still like my Grand Prix.
So much that I want to keep it running another year and get a brand new one.
I'm sold on Pontiac!
You may wish you still had you 91 if you get the new one. You better go sit in a new. It's shrunk alot since 91 - especially in the headroom area due to the rounded off roof line.
I know a few who find the rear seat unbearable to ride in on a long distance trip, plus the high rear window line gives rear seat passengers one hell of a sunburn.
You may also find the standard DRL's, Auto Headlamp's and OnStar, annoying.
Good Luck,

I think once I get the manifold sensor replaced, that should be it for a while.
Of course, it would be really nice if I got the whole interior re-uphostered.

Let me know what you find out. My 91 GP GTP has a couple of minor tears where the leather meets the cloth and I wouldn't mind getting them fixed.
All in all, I love it. It's a smooth, powerful ride and the insides are surprisingly comfy. Now, all I need to do is figure out how to change the miles in the HUD and trip computer to kilometers and I'll be happy. :-)
Also, if anyone knows about body kits, ground effects of spoilers for the w-body, please let me know!
