 I will write everything I can think of here and hopefully I won't forget anything.  I hate when people aren't honest when selling their car (I've come across big issues that they did not fess up to).  So here is everything.  Ask if you have any questions. 

I bought this car 11/29/2010 and didn't put the title in my name til 5/6/11.  The previous owners did not take good care of it.  It has been in an accident which we could see the scrape on the bumper and found out later the trunk leaked badly.  How bad the accident was I don't know but you can see where the trunk lid is slightly ajar.  I took the spoiler off and resealed everything there (all around the edge and the screw holes) and that took care of the worst of the leaking but it still leaks some - if there is a heavy rain, you don't want stuff in your trunk.  Also in trying to resolve everything - my garage got rid of the dry rotted spare but put a whole spare in the trunk which of course didn't fit in the wheel well.  After lots of arguing, I finally got another compact to put in there but the rim center is too small for the jack/tools holder part so the trunk doesn't lay flat (but it's at least usable whereas it wasn't with a full size tire).  The leaking might be resolved with new weather stripping but I'm not sure. 

Ever since I have owned it, it has done a hiccup, slight kick thing when doing a soft acceleration but as soon as you do a harder acceleration, it goes away.  Don't know the cause of it and the garage didn't answer that question.  Also there is a slight stick to the gas pedal sometimes when doing that first acceleration for that trip (the gas pedal doesn't stick down but you have to punch it to get the pedal to move).  I'm told this is not the pedal itself but something else which I can't remember what they said. 

The plastic molding around the windows and paint off some of the metal on the window and windshield wipers is coming off.  Just cosmetic.  I intended to fix and just never could figure out what it was I needed to order.  Driver side mirror has scraps from my mailbox post.

The previous owners told me the CD player does not play.  I don't know as I have not wanted to ruin/lose any of my CD's so I've just been using the radio. 

Service history (does not include all oil changes just the ones I kept the receipt for - I did change the oil and rotated tires on a regular basis):
5/31/11 - Rotors replaced front and back and new brakes put on
6/9/11 - Replaced AC Compressor and alignment
11/25/11 - Front axle (I think passenger side) replaced
12/29/11 - Fuel Sending Kit
1/20/12 - New battery
3/9/12 - Oil Change and 4 new tires (177,727 miles)
4/8/12 - Rotors turned and I can't read what the other thing was that was done (something cheap)
6/25/12 - Oil Change and rotate tires
8/22/12 - Left front hub assembly, oil change and new air filter
9/10/12 - Replaced coil (something with a misfire)
10/18/12 - Front passenger door repaired after a deer hit me (with me sitting still) - A little stiffer than the other doors but opens and closes fine
12/7/12 - Oil Change and tire rotation
12/12/12 - Air Flow Sensor replaced
3/7/13 - Oil change, tire rotation, fuel injector cleaner, Lucas treatment, Transmission kit

The car makes noises, the fabric on the ceiling is separating, the LED lights for the clock/radio don't work well but I've been driving it at least 50 miles a day 4 days a week.  I'm just ready for a luxury car.

$1000 deposit required after 48 hours and full payment due within 7 days from end of auction.  Deposit is non-refundable.  Sale is "as is" and final.  Buyer is responsible for pickup/delivery.  Any questions, please ask.

GM Recalls 1.5 Million Cars For Steering Defect

Tue, Apr 1 2014

General Motors Co. said Monday it is recalling 1.5 million vehicles worldwide because the electronic power-steering assist can suddenly stop working, making them harder to steer. The new recall brings to 6.3 million the number of vehicles GM has recalled since February. The initial recall - now at 2.6 million small cars for an ignition switch defect - prompted the automaker to name a new safety chief and speed up the review of cases that might lead to recalls. GM said it expects recall-related costs to total $750 million in the first quarter, including $300 million for the ignition switch recall. Included in the new recall are: - Chevrolet Malibu from the 2004-2005 model years, plus some 2006, 2008 and 2009 model-year cars. - Chevrolet Malibu Maxx from the 2004-2005 model years, plus some 2006 model-year cars. - Chevrolet HHR from the 2009-2010 model years (non-turbocharged only). - Some Chevrolet Cobalts from the 2010 model year. - Some Saturn Auras from the 2008-2009 model years. - Saturn Ion from the 2004-2007 model years. - Pontiac G6 from the 2005 model year, plus some cars from the 2006, 2008 and 2009 model years. - Service parts installed into certain vehicles before May 31, 2010, under a previous recall GM says no deaths related to the defect have been reported. It is still investigating whether there have been any accidents or injuries related to the problem. GM dealers will replace the power steering motor and other parts for free. Spokesman Alan Adler said owners will be notified of the recall the week of April 28 and will be told when parts are available after that. The Cobalt and the Ion, which are also involved in the ignition switch recall, share many common parts.GM recalled Cobalts from the 2005-2010 model years for the power steering defect in 2010, but it's unclear why the company didn't recall the Ion at the same time. Federal regulators also opened an investigation into power steering complaints in the Ion in 2010, but didn't order a recall.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

Classic Pontiac Trans Am Firebird Super Duty 455 sells for nearly $90,000

Fri, Aug 25 2023

Historically, the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am raised the performance levels a notch or two over a plain Firebird in the muscle car hierarchy of the Sixties. But the Super Duty 455 version of the Trans Am — that number represents the cubic inches of the hand-assembled V8 engine — moved the performance needle big time in 1974. So much so that a clean example of the machine sold recently on the Hagerty Marketplace auction site for $89,296. Advertised with just under 54,000 miles on the clock and having undergone a thorough restoration, the Buccaneer Red model was one of just 943 Pontiac Firebirds equipped with the Super Duty 455 package for the 1974 model year. That build had also been offered in 1973. The Hagerty listing drew more than 21,000 views and 39 bids. According to Hagerty's valuation report, a similar car would be worth $85,700 in good condition, and $103,000 if it was in ‘“concours condition.” The Super Duty motor borrowed technology from the lineÂ’s 366-cubic-inch NASCAR engine, and featured heavy-duty connecting rods and an entirely new block with a revised crankshaft and heads to deliver a claimed 310 horsepower. The Firebird that sold was indeed loaded, with a three-speed Hydra-matic transmission (which surely reduced its overall value), power locks and windows, AC, dual exhausts, heavy duty stabilizer bars all around, and a “custom Interior trimmed in Red perforated Morrokide vinyl upholstery.” The entry of PontiacÂ’s pony car in the U.S., facing off against the Mustang and Camaro, dates back to 1967, when it was offered with an inline six and optional V8. The first Trans Ams were introduced two years later, the name derived from a handling package. General Motors ceased production of new Pontiacs in 2002 owing to declining sales and losing stakes in the sports coupe market. The big 455-cid V-8 had disappeared years earlier.
