Please read entire description before bidding. Vehicle needs engine work.

What you are looking at here is a 2003 Bonneville SSEi that my mother purchased new from Superior Pontiac in 2003. Since that time it has always been garaged, oil changed every 3k miles, has always had premium fuel, and has been detailed every year. This vehicle has always been extremely well maintained. The paint is original and looks near perfect. The car has never seen the inside of a body shop. Has never been in any type of collision.

The vehicle had an intake leak, and ran low on coolant, and overheated. After this happened, my mother decided to purchase a new vehicle, and I jumped on the chance to buy this one. I had the intake manifold re-sealed and the thermostat replaced. Unfortunately, after this work was performed, the vehicle developed an engine knock on acceleration. I took it in and had the oil pan removed for inspection. Sure enough one of the bearings had been damaged (I assume by the excessive heat.) At minimum, the vehicle will need a new or re-ground crankshaft and one connecting rod, possibly more. There is currently no engine oil in the engine, and one of the rod baring caps was left off, so it does not run at this time.

I really hate to sell this car, but I don't have the funds to fix it at this time and don't want to let this beautiful car sit in the sun all summer. I don't have room in the garage anymore so she has to go. The front breaks were done just before the car was put out of commission. The factory replacement battery is about one year old. The tires are near new michelins with a ton of tread left. The ABS light was on the last time I drove the car. I did not have it diagnosed.

As you can see in the pictures, the car is in spectacular condition in and out. There is a small wear mark on the edge of the driver's seat. It is not worn through the leather, just the color. There are a few small marks around the cup holders from use. There is no noticeable wear to the steering wheel or radio/hvac buttons. There are some chips on the front bumper from road debris. There is a light scuff mark on the rear bumper, and a few little scratches in front of one of the passenger side door handles. All damage is pictured. There is no visible wear to any of the carpets or SSEi factory mats.

The registration has been out since September so there will be a small fee attached. Likely around $200 but Ill check and add it later. The title is a clean ca title, in my name, in hand.

There is no damage to any glass whatsoever. All of the power options (windows, seats, sunroof, locks,) work as they should. The a/c and heat functions are auto and work great.

I have tried to describe this vehicle to the best of my ability. Please ask any and all questions before bidding. Contact me through here or email me at caseyamack1@gmail.com. If you email me your phone number I will call you to discuss the vehicle. I would love to show the vehicle before the auction is over if you are local. I honestly believe that if you see it first, your max bid will go up. The car books for about $9K (fixed, obviously.) Check it at kbb.com.

I have never shipped a vehicle before but if you would like to arrange it I will help out in any way I can. If I think of any more information that may be helpful I will add it. If you have questions please ask.

It should go without saying, but please don't bid unless you have the money and are absolutely sure you will purchase the vehicle. I would like to receive payment within 48 hours of auction close. I have a paypal account if you would like to use it. Otherwise, cash is great. I will accept a check but the vehicle will not be released until the funds clear.

Thanks for looking. Happy bidding.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile

Sun, 29 Apr 2012

Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
