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.

This KITT replica sold at auction for $32,500
Thu, Apr 23 2020UPDATE: This 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am KITT replica officially sold for $32,500. Here's hoping the new owner has a blast throwin' it into Pursuit Mode. Let's get one thing straight right off the bat: This isn't a perfect KITT replica. The original KITT used in the Knight Rider TV series was based on a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. The one you see above, which is currently for sale at auction site Bring A Trailer, is a 1987 model, and since it's a GTA edition, it has some extra body cladding that the smooth-sided television car lacked. That aside, most casual observers would probably never notice the difference, and even those who did (like us) are still likely to be impressed by the car's transformation. This KITT replica is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. It ought to be fairly quick, though quite a bit shy of the fictional car's very fictional 300-mph top speed. We're not exactly Knight Rider experts, but some quick Google sleuthing suggests that the Knight Industries Two Thousand supposedly cost more than $11,000,000 to build in Hollywoodland. This one will surely command a significantly lower sum — as of this writing, it's been bid up to $18,000 with four days remaining on the auction. This content is hosted by a third party.

There are several videos of the car that detail its modifications inside and out, but suffice it to say it seems to be a well-sorted replica. Here's hoping its new owner keeps it well clear of other KARRs. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Junkyard Gem: 1980 Pontiac Phoenix LJ Hatchback
Sun, Jan 22 2023The car-building world was rushing headlong into front-wheel-drive by the late 1970s, eager to reap the weight-saving and space-enhancing benefits of front-drive designs. General Motors designed an innovative FWD platform to replace the embarrassingly outdated Chevrolet Nova and its siblings, and that ended up being the Chevrolet Citation. The other US-market GM car divisions (except Cadillac) got a piece of the X-Body action, and the Pontiac version was called the Phoenix. Here's one of those first-year Phoenixes, not doing a very good job of rising from its snow-covered ashes in a Colorado self-service yard. Pontiac had used the Phoenix name on a luxed-up iteration of Pontiac's version of the Chevy Nova during the 1977-1979 model years, and so it made sense to apply that name to the Pontiac-ized Citation. Phoenix production continued through the 1984 model year (the Citation managed to hang on through 1985). Just to confuse everyone, the Nova name was revived in 1985, on a NUMMI-built Toyota Corolla. The LJ trim level was the nicest one for the 1980 Phoenix, and it included lots of trim upgrades and convenience features. However, even Phoenix LJ buyers had to pay extra for a three-speed automatic transmission instead of the base four-on-the-floor manual ($337, or about $1,291 in 2022 dollars). If you wanted air conditioning, that was another $564 and you had to get the $164 power steering and the $76 power brakes with it (total cost in 2022 dollars: $3,080). Affordable cars weren't so affordable back then, not once you started adding basic options. Both generations of the Phoenix had grilles influenced by those of the Pontiacs of earlier years. The base engine was the chugging 2.5-liter Iron Duke four-cylinder, but a 2.8-liter V6 was optional. This car has the V6, rated at 115 horsepower rather than the Duke's miserable 90 horses. The price tag: 225 bucks, or 862 inflation-adjusted 2022 bucks. The Phoenix was available just as a two-door coupe and five-door hatchback. The MSRP on this car would have started at $6,127, or around $23,469 now. That would have been a pretty good deal even after paying for the options, with the Phoenix's excellent mix of good interior space and solid fuel economy… but the Citation and its kin (the Oldsmobile Omega and Buick Skylark as well as the Phoenix) suffered from seemingly endless, highly publicized recalls and quality problems.
Junkyard Gem: 1989 Pontiac Sunbird SE Coupe
Sat, Jun 11 2022General Motors built the fantastically successful J-Body cars starting at the dawn of the 1980s and continuing well into our current century, on five continents. The Pontiac Division's version of the J started out being called the J2000 and the 2000, then got the Sunbird name originally used on the Pontiac-ized Chevy Monza starting in 1983. Here's a once-slick-looking 1989 Sunbird SE Coupe, found at a Minneapolis-area boneyard way back in 2016. The best-known of all the J-Body cars, here, was the Chevrolet Cavalier, but Pontiac far outdid even the most blinged-up Cavalier Z24 when it came to elaborate taillights. Because this is Minnesota, the car is a patchwork of various layers of junkyard-obtained rusty body parts. One fender has TURBO badges from a Sunbird GT. The other side has the correct engine badges for this model. That engine is a 2.0-liter, single-overhead-cam straight-four from an engine family originally developed for the Opel Kadett D. This one was rated at 96 horsepower when new. This one has the automatic transmission, so it wouldn't have been very much fun to drive. Check out that cool parking brake handle, though! And, hey, is that a full can of Colorado Cool-Aid in the foot well? You'd think a proper Minnesota Pontiac would at least be full of Grain Belt cans. It appears that Higley Ford in Windom, Minn., had this car on the lot at some point. Windom is closer to Sioux Falls than to Minneapolis. This final mileage total looks good for a car living in Tinworm Country. Pontiac built this generation of Sunbird from the 1988 through 1994 model years, though it was really just a facelift of the first-generation cars. Starting in 1995, the Pontiac J-Body became the Sunfire, and production continued until the J platform itself got the axe in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.
