First car: 2002 Dodge Intrepid SE. Has about 52k miles and costs about $7,500.
Second car: 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GT (MAY be SE, forgot to look but has power everything, CD player, fog lamps, so I'm thinking it's the GT) Has about 75k miles and costs about $6,500.
About 500 miles a week, yes, a week, is put on the car.
Both cars are in great shape with the Intrepid having some minor cosmetic flaws and the Pontiac being extremely clean and no cosmetic flaws from what I saw. I am leaning more towards the Grand Prix because it seems even though it has more miles it is made better, has a better engine and gets more gas millage, but the Intrepid is newer. I keep going back and forth, so I want the worlds opinion.
Thanks.

Financially: an expensive car can not be afforded, that is why a newer car isn't being purchased. These are the two best cars for the price we can find.

just make sure it says 3800 on the Pontiac engine and you have a 500 a week car. Just get all the fluids changed brake fluid too when you get it and new fuel filter and keep up with oil changes and air filters. I have owned pontiac grand prix GTP put 165,000 miles on it. And now a 2006 pontiac GTO. You can now join the grand prix club.

If you drive 500 miles a week neither car is a good idea. If you're going to borrow money,buy a car that will still be running when you pay it off. Buy a 1 or 2 year old car with less than 20K on it and finance no more than 4 years.

i would pick the grand prix. its sounds like a nicer car, definitely gets better gas mileage, and is just more fun all around.
