Up for auction is this used 2000 Pontiac Bonneville SLE.

I purchased this car six years ago from a dealer. It had just under 65k miles on it at that time. Now, it has 241.5k miles. This has been my work car and it has many highway miles on it. I am selling it to make room for a new (used) car I am buying in a few weeks.

The engine and transmission are strong, but it needs work. It shakes very bad when the brakes are applied. It will most likely need a complete brake job to include rotors and perhaps calipers. Also, it has a good shake at speeds ~ above 40 mph. But it doesn't shake all the time. Sometimes the shake is terrible and other times it is barely present. I do not know what it needs to get that to stop. I have not brought it in - I've just been dealing with it until now. I've parked it for the last week because the shaking just got too much for me to handle.

The engine oil has been changed regularly. The engine does not sputter, misfire, smoke, miss, hiccup or tick. I've never tuned it up, but it always starts and runs.

The transmission is good, too. It was rebuilt with 202k miles on the car in September of 2011.

It has working power windows and locks, radio - cd player with controls on steering wheel, cruise control, wipers, climate control. It has a power driver seat, but not passenger.

It has a moonroof, but I believe the motor is bad - I had to pull it shut while holding the button a couple years ago and never opened it since.

The head liner is coming down in front and back and it is missing from the moonroof lid.

The fog light bulbs are both burned out.

There is a windshield crack running at dashboard level from side to side. It's so low I forget it is there.

The check engine light has been on for years. Last time I had it diagnosed they said I need a new gas cap - never got one.

Here are the repairs I have on file:

3/12 - replace sway bar end links, replace rear air shocks, rear passenger adjustment link arm (drivers needs replacement).

7/09 - replace oil sending unit and purge vent valve.

2/13 - replace brake line in front of gas tank.

7/10 - replace passenger front hub bearing assy and outer tie rod ends.

I've never had any exhaust work done - it has never needed it.

Since I have owned this car it has not been in an accident of any kind. It has not been smoked in. I eat in it, but the interior has not been stained.

There is rust on the left rear quarter and a couple paint chips on the aluminum hood. The rims are aftermarket aluminum - the originals would not seal after awhile.

Tires are Yokohama YK580 with maybe 50% tread remaining.

I have honestly entered all information to the best of my ability. Please refer to my feedback, if needed.

This car is only being offered on this site. It is not listed in a newspaper or any other website. I will not end the auction early and please do not bid unless this is the car you have been looking for.

Thanks for looking.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP

Tue, Jun 19 2018

For General Motors, the W platform just kept giving and giving and giving for decade after decade, serving as the basis of Buick Regals, Oldsmobile Intrigues, Chevrolet Monte Carlos, and many, many more models. The final and most powerful Pontiac W-Body, the sixth-generation Grand Prix GTP, rolled off assembly lines for the 1997 through 2003 model years. Here's one in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. GM bolted the supercharged 3800 V6 into vast numbers of cars during this era, providing a deep reservoir of cheap blowers for unwise high-boost projects. 240 front-tire-charring horses, complete with a Roots-type blower scream from the Eaton supercharger under the hood. I see plenty of blown 3800s during my junkyard travels, from the Bonneville SSEi to the Oldsmobile LSS. Depressingly, GM stopped putting manual transmissions in the Grand Prix during the 1993 model year, so '01 GTP owners had to take the four-speed slushbox. This one came close to the magic 200,000-mile mark, but fell 25,000 short. The interior took a beating during its life, ending its time on the road with shredded upholstery and dirty panels. Seven-band graphic equalizers were all the rage during the 1980s, but GM kept the tradition alive into our current century. This content is hosted by a third party.

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem

Thu, Feb 13 2014

General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.
