Hi guys,
I just purchased my first Bonneville last week. It is a 2001 SSEi, Ivory White with dark gray interior. 45k miles picked it up for 8k. I'll be posting pics soon. I sold my 2006 Impala to a friend to buy this car, he needed a new car and wanted mine because I had other work done to it already to make it different. I have always loved Bonnevilles but never really realized it until after my dad got rid of his 89 LE. My first car was a 94 LeSabre so i am already familiar with the 3800. another thing that got me into bonnies was that the friend who now has my impala (*sniff, sniff*) had a 94 SE, and his dad sold off his 92 SSEi to buy an 02 GTP. Once I rode in that car, I became a fan of not only the 3800 but the s/c version as well. Anyway I thought I would share some about myself. I'll post pics soon.

Re: Just bought MY first bonnville
Yeah, I found it at Apple Chevy in Tinley Park. i know a guy there and the minute this car came in on trade he called me. Two days later it was mine. Actually when I got there to look at it, another couple was talking numbers on it, but they obviously were'nt quick enough.
