The problem with the GM is that it will not pass emissions. In a couple of months, the car will not be allowed to be registered for another year, due to it failing emissions. I will have to spend about $500 - $1,000 to POSSIBLY get it to pass. I need a new catalytic converter, some evaporation controls, maybe even a new gas tank, this will put me over $1,000 in repairs.

The GM drives strong, everything works on it, just the emissions stuff is causing the problems with the EPA and I can't re register it.

So, I can get $4,500 for it in the rebate program
OR
it will have to sit in my garage because it will not have plates on it
OR
dump $1,000+ into the GM to have it POSSIBLY pass emissions, no guarantee's it will.
