X2, another very good reliability US car, on Craigslist there are a bunch of them over 200,000 all the time. Mileage on highway is about 30 and in town 22 MPG. I'm currently looking for a SSEi or a GTP GP right now for myself. Found one for $900 asking price that they say needs an engine because it locked up.
Many times on supercharged 3800s the plastic core intake gaskets warp (factory problem) and leak water into the intake ports and cause hydrolock from sitting overnight. The car may only need to drain coolant from the cylinder and replace the intake gaskets to be repaired. New GM gaskets have aluminum core to stop the warpage problem. Even if it does need an engine I found used ones from $450-$800. I'd be happy to have an 01 SSEi for around $1500-$1700 or less if it only needs intake gaskets...............................
