Need help with car decision

Ok I need some help here guys and gals, I am getting ready to buy a new car (well used but new to me) and im looking at two cars. One is a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am Coupe thats a 4-cylinder 2.2 liter engine. The other is a 2002 Dodge Stratus R/T V6 3 Liter engine. I just wanted to know your opinions on which car to get. Ill post a pic of both of them too.

The Stratus





Specs


Price $5,995
Body Style Coupe
Mileage 91,000
Engine 6 Cylinder
Drive Type 2 wheel drive - front
Fuel Type Gasoline
Doors Two Door

I drove a rented 2006 Stratus. I loved it. Haven't tried a Grand Am.

The Grand Am





Specs

Price - $5,245
Body Style - Coupe
Mileage - 91,171
Exterior Color - Victory Red
Interior Color - Dark Pewter
Engine 4 Cylinder Gasoline
Transmission - 5 Speed Manual
Drive Type - 2 wheel drive - front
Doors - Two Door

Buy that 2.2 liter version. It probably makes less pollution and prevents the global warming.

depends on what your really lookin for, whats the mileage etc on each, don't want to high a mileage on the 4 banger, or really even that small a v6, go with mechanically sound before cosmetic

Whats a good mileage for a used car your lookin to buy?

I personally don't ever want a red car that looks fast. I've gotten a ticket in my blue-green Miata once, that was enough. And I do have a lead foot..... Zoom Zoom Zoom!

looks like you favor the grand am, according to the pics, price difference?

Well thats the only pic they had of the stratus. and the stratus is $5,995 and the Grand Am is $5.245, they both have 91k miles, which isnt that great but hey

Burn the chevy. Give the dodge to someone you hate. Then go buy a vw or honda. lol

VW? I know a few people who have gotten VWs.. at least the newer ones seem to have a LOT of electrical issues. More than once I've heard of VWs that have windows that randomly go down on them - even when the car is parked - particularly when it rains.

I have no plans to ever buy a VW unless I hear much better things about them.

the stratus is an automatic the grand am a stick, your probaly tit for tat here, buy the one you like the most is the best advice i can give ya

Same news I've heard about american cars. Friend had a corvette, he started the car and closed the door so the car can warm up. He lighted a cigarette and the car locked all the doors when it started to rain. There he was calling to a locksmith.

Thanks, appreciate the advice

One more question i forgot to ask, is it true that red cars cost more insurance wise

the only thing i have ever heard is statiticly red cars are in more accidents than any other color, but there are probably more red cars though than any other, so go figure??

Are you fucking serious? That's best I've heard for a long time.

Yeah Ive heard that, but I really dont think they should base the insurance rates on color, thats just stupid
