as bad as this sounds and as bad as I want a car myself, for 3000 bucks i would build a great pc, buy another car another time. btw:this method will save you gas money and cost you pc game money

I think that you will be better off getting an old Honda or something- just for the reason of gas milage. Save ya big bucks in the future.

Nah I disagree, you can build a new computer anytime, and you keep your car a lot longer then your computer. there anern't that many deals around that are as good as this, looks like a great first car I would go the car for sure!. Oh and is it really all that practical to give a car like that perfromance mods? you have to shell out the money for what would only be a minimal gain in performance. Stero systems sounds madd though

We had a '98 Oldsmobile, and the gas mileage wasn't good at all, only around 20mpg at the most. In contrast, my grandma's 1989 Civic got in the 40s and 50s in mpg.

But oldsmobiles are very good cars, well built and solid.

ya all i will probably do is get a good stereo system and maybe some new rims and a exhaust system depends on how much money i have saved up by then.
