Up for a NO RESERVE auction today is a gorgeous, 1 Owner 1997 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi sedan with 159k miles. This SSEi was one of only 4,446 out of 74,015 total Bonnevilles produced in 1997.  I would rate the exterior of this Bonneville to be in ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION for the age and mileage of this vehicle. As you can see, this is a gorgeous vehicle. It is finished in dark cherry metallic with a supple taupe leather interior. While the exterior is not flawless, it shows extremely well for a 16 year old vehicle. The body lines up nice and straight. The hood, doors and trunk open/close easily. All of the exterior trim is intact and in good condition. This Bonneville has obviously been garage kept. All of the glass and lenses are intact. The alloy wheels show extremely well and are wrapped in a good set of rubber with above average tread. There is a small scrape on the bottom right front bumper near the fog light, and a touch up on the left front corner of the bumper. The airbag light is on, and the interior lights do not appear to be functioning correctly. Please take your time and check out each of the photos carefully to see how nice this SSEi looks!

I would rate the interior of this Bonneville to be in EXCELLENT CONDITION for the age and mileage of this vehicle. As you can see, the previous owner has taken excellent care of this vehicle. Pride in ownership is extremely noticeable when looking over this SSEi. The door panels are clean and tight. All of the buttons are present and work properly. The carpets are clean and full looking throughout the cabin. A full set of original SSEi floor mats are included as well. The dash and headliner are clean. The leather seats are supple and comfortable. Both front seats are power operated and go in a variety of different directions and have many adjustments for your comfort. The power windows, locks, seats and mirrors all work properly. The climate control system is fully automatic and appears to be working properly. The air conditioner blows ICE COLD AIR, too. The audio system is the original BOSE equalized sound system which powers up and works properly, except that the bulb for the radio display is out. This is a common Pontiac problem. It also has a tire inflator in the trunk, but I did not test it. A full set of owners books are also included. The trunk is spacious and clean.

Mechanically, this Bonny appears to be in good running and driving condition. The 3.8L Supercharged V6 engine starts right up and runs smoothly. I did not see any leaks and the engine does not smoke. Her road manners are excellent. It is truly a pleasure to drive this car. The suspension feels tight. The steering feels neutral and responsive. The brakes stop this full sized sport sedan with no issues. The engine makes good power and cruises easily. The automatic transmission engages smoothly and shifts normally with no issues. She is wearing current PA Safety and Emissions inspection stickers good until July 2014. Out on the highway, she cruises nice and straight with no complaints. This car was made for the interstate. With the supercharger, this car can really get out of its own way! I had a new water pump and  set of drive belts installed this week. The valve cover gaskets appear to be fairly new as well.

I welcome and encourage you to come see, smell and drive this gorgeous Bonneville for yourself if you are able. It is one of the finest examples I have seen in recent memory. I am sure it will make its next owner extremely proud to drive it as well.  As I stated before, no 16 year old vehicle is perfect, this is why an in person inspection is encouraged. I try to point out any apparent imperfections that I catch, but everyone analyzes things differently. If you would like to discuss a BUY IT NOW Price, please contact me through eBay or at the number provided below. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact Tim directly at 570-498-9301. Thank you and good luck bidding!

Are orphan cars better deals?

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Most folks don't know a Saturn Aura from an Oldsmobile Aurora. Those of you who are immersed in the labyrinth of automobilia know that both cars were testaments to the mediocrity that was pre-bankruptcy General Motors, and that both brands are now long gone. But everybody else? Not so much. By the same token, there are some excellent cars and trucks that don't raise an eyebrow simply because they were sold under brands that are no longer being marketed. Orphan brands no longer get any marketing love, and because of that they can be alarmingly cheap. Case in point, take a look at how a 2010 Saturn Outlook compares with its siblings, the GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. According to the Manheim Market Report, the Saturn will sell at a wholesale auto auction for around $3,500 less than the comparably equipped Buick or GMC. Part of the reason for this price gap is that most large independent dealerships, such as Carmax, make it a point to avoid buying cars with orphaned badges. Right now if you go to Carmax's site, you'll find that there are more models from Toyota's Scion sub-brand than Mercury, Saab, Pontiac, Hummer, and Saturn combined. This despite the fact that these brands collectively sold in the millions over the last ten years while Scion has rarely been able to realize a six-figure annual sales figure for most of its history. That is the brutal truth of today's car market. When the chips are down, used-car shoppers are nearly as conservative as their new-car-buying counterparts. Unfamiliarity breeds contempt. Contempt leads to fear. Fear leads to anger, and pretty soon you wind up with an older, beat-up Mazda MX-5 in your driveway instead of looking up a newer Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky. There are tons of other reasons why orphan cars have trouble selling in today's market. Worries about the cost of repair and the availability of parts hang over the industry's lost toys like a cloud of dust over Pigpen. Yet any common diagnostic repair database, such as Alldata, will have a complete framework for your car's repair and maintenance, and everyone from junkyards to auto parts stores to eBay and Amazon stock tens of thousands of parts. This makes some orphan cars mindblowingly awesome deals if you're willing to shop in the bargain bins of the used-car market. Consider a Suzuki Kizashi with a manual transmission. No, really.

'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown

Fri, 22 Aug 2014

Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
