any thing can be fixed. Engines are replaceable, the stealth might be worth it but the prism is not. Prizms had junk oil rings from day one your lucky that thing hit 270k.

IF not a Regal I'd say you go for something similar to your Prizm. Cavalier, S10, Escort, Neon, just not a Cobalt. Its within the top 10 most expensive cars to insure, and with a Camaro in the shop more money has to go into that.

A GM G body is far from a buss, its a mid sized sedan. They handle quite well and can be built up for little money. Those cars have some of the cheapest part out there and are easy to get and repair. Also just to let you know a regal is a G body too. Every heard of a Grand National? lol G bodies are nice cars if you can find one not to rusty. Lot of stock cars started on G body frames.
