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.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
Jay Leno tries out a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that looks factory fresh
Tue, Jan 31 2017The latest machine to show up on Jay Leno's Garage is arguably the most iconic Pontiac GTO, the 1970 Judge. The example here is a radically red model and features all of the nifty Judge features, such as the mega-size rear wing, hood-mounted tachometer, and ram air hood scoop. The latter of which had a panel in the hood that would open up at full throttle to let in all that cool air from outside. The car is owned by the Wade Kawasaki, president of Coker Tires, a company that specializes in reproducing classic tires. Not surprisingly, his GTO features a set of the company's Firestone Wide Oval tires. That particular tire would have come with the car originally, but these new versions are built like modern radial tires, rather than the slippery bias-ply originals. The tires are indicative of how Kawasaki restored the rest of his Judge. Everything has been taken back to factory-spec. It has a stock, 400-cubic inch V8 that makes a supposedly underrated 366 horsepower, and it's complete with the chrome valve covers and foam intake seal. The tires are accompanied by exact replica GTO Judge wheels. The car even has the true, original interior. Somehow, the upholstery, dash, and other interior components survived in excellent condition. Check out the video above for more details on this flashy muscle car, as well as some reminiscing about the "good ol' days," and some history on the origins of the car's name. Related Video:
Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
