I purchased an olds 98 touring (3.8 GM supercharged engine) with 36k on it and ran it to 235k without any engine problems. I used preventitve maintenance and replaced the blower belt it it showed wear or checking of the belt. Oil changes were every 3k to 5k miles with filter change. The car was ok, what cost was replacing the struts, and I never did get the ton of functions handled by all the dash buttons running the computer readouts fixed, but the car ran well, and took down two deer on two different occassions without needing to actually do bodywork as I did not have full coverage. One deer in the passenger door, and one straight on, the headlights were not broken.

I have a 1999 supercharged GTP its a 3800 does anyone know if the 3800 engine only for Pontiac that isn't supercharged would last longer than one that is if so roughly how many miles?
It is best to fit a suitable supercharger to extend its working life
Would this be worth spending 2000 as a first car 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP 3800 supercharged with 189 000 miles?
In my opinion, it isn't worth purchasing a car that has 189,000 miles. I would avoid buying a sporty vehicle like a supercharged 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP 3800 as a first car.

If the timing belt brakes can engine be damaged on a 1993 geo storm?
If you have the 1.6 Liter SOHC engine the answer is YES. This is an Interference engine, and if the belt breaks engine damage will occur. Belt should be replaced every 30,000 miles. I know that sounds absurd, but that is the factory recommendation. If you have the 1.8 Liter DOHC engine, no damage will occur. It is NOT an interference engine. Replace the belt every 60,000 miles.If you have the 1.6 Liter SOHC engine the answer is YES. This is an Interference engine, and if the belt breaks engine damage will occur.
