I had an 89 chevy cavalier from feb 2005-mar 2008 and had to replace almost every part... alternator to steering column to ignition coils to exhaust and so forth.. and it still wasn't running right and died on me because the push button start i was FORCED to jimmy rig (so the car would start) got shorted out.. so its technically still an option to fix it but fu(k that car it put me through hell and my girlfriend refuses to ride in it anyway cuz its dangerous.

so

i began to purchase my best friends 98 M3 convertible w/ 69k miles for only 9000 because he was trying to unload a huge insurance payment of like 700 since he had a dui... i drove the car for less than a month and crashed it wednesday morning as some lady made an illegal left turn and then stopped in front of me... so her insurance will pay but it only pays 14k which covers the 9k i owe + the loan my good friend took out for 5k to pay off the car because 14k was what he actually owed on it... so thats wiped clean.. i wasnt injured much just a nasty headache for a day and a half.

i like the lancer 08/09 i just checked one out at a dealership and wanted to know if there are any differences between the two and if the gts is worth it compared to the es.. i dont care about sport suspension or any other bells n whistles except i want the sun and sound package... what should i do..?

The 2008 GTS has the same relatively underpowered 2.0L engine as the ES, it just has the paddle shifters (which are connected to a CVT - which seems incredibly pointless to me) and 18" rims and a few other body pieces.

In '09 the GTS will get a 2.4L and will be probably worth the extra money, as for now though I would pass on the GTS and use that money on other stuff.

i'm not looking for that 2.4 option, trying to save a little on gas..

i'll more than likely get the ES but i was wondering... i test drove one with a nav system and the aux input had not only red and white audio inputs but also a yellow video input.... does that mean i can connect an ipod or zune and play videos on the screen?
