I got a free car from a bad diagnosis 

That is two things but I agree with both!

@@derekd5681 guess I'm bad at math .Sorry !

Def. the sarcasm! 😁👍

@@billbowers268 "guess I'm bad at math .Sorry" ! I thought Derek missed your humour.

i agree with that not only making a customer for life he did something most would not of done

great job Scott, you INVESTED $1000 and overtime could make $10,000 or more of new business.

That's the true mark of an honorable man. I worked closed with a guy on the construction team. He was born again. Always preaching goodness and purity. So a guy on another team had HORRIBLE luck with vehicles. He'd bought an older Chev pickup for $3500 and was in a small town about 2 hrs away, died on the side of a road. Had it towed to a local garage, they said new fuel pump, including dropping the tank, $1800. F it...... Got to work on the monday, told us about his harrowing weekend and he couldn't put $1800 into is. The holy roller offered him $1000.00 for it. He took it. FF to the next weekend, the holy roller goes to the town with a secondary fuel pump to get it home. Checks the fuses? It's the fuel pump relay. $6.00 fix. Drove it home. Told the owner what it was, and giggled as the owner basically weeped. We were off to a site on our own and I said to him: you know you preach goodness and charity and all that. If you truly were a "holy" person, you would have given him the title and $500 back and kept $500 for your time. Knowing the trouble he's had with vehicles. It's not like he's a total stranger, we worked with him 3 weeks out of every month. He said "yeah right, would YOU have done that"? Me: HELL yeah...in a heart beat. I wouldn't even hesitate. In fact, I did the same thing. A neighbour gave me a lawnmower that wouldn't run. I checked it out, replaced the membrane in the carb (common problem) for $4.00. I walked over and gave him $50" Did he? nope. Lost all kinds of respect for him after that. From then on whenever he started on his holy crap I'd remind him of what a hypocrite he was.

scott straight stand up OG thats noble as hell. love the car community

@@muskokamike127 Nice comment and I agree with you. I am a firm believer in Karma both good and bad, reap what you sow... I am glad that you stood up to him Mike and called him out on him being a hypocrite.

Might be making a comeback with used car prices these days! 😂

I'm trying figure out who has the best sarcasm. You (Wes) Vehcor or M539 Restorations. So far a close race.

At a minimum it doubles the asking price...

@@cmh2111 It's a bit of a toss up. Wes has some good one liners too.

@@David-vd9up M539 Restorations is good as well. But ya, there all enjoyable.

Unless it is a 6.0 or 6.4 power stroke badge, then I would have to pay the scrap guy to take it! 😂

Scott is an awesome guy.

You still have it?

That's exactly what I was thinking. Good on ya, Scott. That move will retain a customer and also, most likely, the right of first refusal on his next heap. :) I live in Lansing where a lot of the Grand Ams (and Aleros) were made, and we used to see them EVERYWHERE. I didn't like them when they were new, but the style has grown on me over the years. They weren't particularly well made but their foibles were pretty easy to understand.

Problem or video? ;)

I remember them being extremely extremely cheap on the inside and having terrible seats. They were pretty quick thiugh. Definitely had an oversized motor

I’ve been daily driving one for 4 years now fixing small things as I use it and when I get the money. It’s been very reliable no major issues just the little things mostly cosmetic I’ve been fixing. These cars get a lot of hate for some reason I just don’t see it mines been reliable starts everytime the only code I have is for a thermostat that is going to get replaced that really is not a big deal.

@@jacobfleming565 yea build quality is cheap but for a push rod engine that only makes 175 hp they have amazing low end torque in first gear so you just fly from a dead stop not the fastest car ever but for a normal commuter car not bad

They are making a comeback with the gas prices! 😂

Yea really, most places will sell it with the problems with hopes you will come back so they can make money doing those repairs

These cars are pretty reliable they get hate for being cheap with build quality but that’s mostly people complaining that don’t know how to look after a vehicle.

It’s the 5th generation and last from 1999 to 2005 it had a 6 year run

Yeah, PITA.

4 years now I’ve been driving this car I believe it’s a SE2 trim model it’s not a GT but it’s fully loaded for the SE trim level V6 motor not ram air AC power locks mirrors and windows cruise control and traction control ABS lol a CD player not the monsoon radio but the highest package radio no sunroof disc brakes in front drums in the back it’s got a spoiler got alloy wheels but I like it I like that it’s got physical buttons for everything I hate the touchscreen crap if I need something to be on or off it’s just a flick of a button. Only thing i wish these cars had was heated mirrors it sucks when ice builds up on the mirrors

After the detailing gnomes gets done it will be!

Bought mine for 2k really been using it for 4 years now I’ve had no major issues I had to replace the e brake in the centre console there and couple other little things but you expect that with age really. I just don’t understand what people end up doing to these cars they are pretty reliable but I see so many of them just beat to hell. No wonder people complain about them maybe it’s the way they been looked after not the actual car.

I have a 2004 grand am I got in 2018 been fixing it slowly as I use it I’m happy to say I’m close the cars better then I got it. I only have the ac left to fix a e brake and a new front bumper and new driver side quarter panel the bumper and quarter panel will be last cause they have to be painted and installed. But cars going to get some window tint done soon oh god that will help in the summer.

Well GM parts are really easy to find little internet search you can find them that’s the one plus of GM parts are widely available unlike other cars where they are hard to find

I kept saying he’s going to scratch it he’s going to scratch it I was impressed
