Hi yall,
My 92 Mazda Protege got destroyed during Hurricane Katrina, so I had to buy a "new" car. A friend was selling an '02 Grand Am SE1 with V6 with 61,000 miles on it for an affordable price($4,000) so I bought it.
I am a girl BTW, but have 3 brothers so have always been very active and involved in any maintanence done to my Mazda. This Grand Am, though, is a completely different animal. It didn't come with an owners manual so I'm not even sure of my engine specs. or how much oil to use in an oil change etc. Can someone tell me if there is a website with some of the basic specs listed for maintainence and repair? I tried searching, but didn't find anything. I would buy a Chilton's manual, but right now money is kind of tight and none of the auto stores are even open in new orleans, nothing is open really.
I appreciate any help someone can give me. I like the looks of the Grand Am and really look forward to fixing it up and driving it around.
Thanks everyone!
Nicole
