2001 Pontiac Grand Prix Gt Coupe 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Elkton, Maryland, United States
Up for sale is my 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. This car has been my
pride and joy for 5 years, but it is time for me to let her go, I got a
bigger vehicle that better accommodates my large family. There are many
things we have done to this vehicle over the years and a few things that
will need to be done by the new owner eventually. I had the
transmission rebuilt by a local shop last year because it completely
went on me. When trans was redone, I also had a shift kit put in, so
this transmission shifts like butter as it should for the $3,000 I spent
to keep my Grand Prix alive...lol Here is a complete list of all
replacements/upgrades we have done:
Transmission Rebuilt-March 2013 (less than 5,000 miles on trans since) Recent tuneup - Jan 2013 Monroe struts - March 2012 Tie rods inner/outer Feb 2012 Rotors turned and front brakes replaced Feb 2012 Michelin Raptor Tires 90% tread left Aftermarket head, corner, and tail lights (all DOT certified) New front Axels - March 2013 Power steering pump and high pressure hoses - Sept 2013 Thrush mufflers - May 2012 Chrome Pontiac-etched rims (gleaming when polished!!) Chrome grill inserts Metallic red cross members and Pontiac inlay on rear bumper Bose sound system (came stock) Leather interior New thermostat New Monroe rear brake pads - November 2013 Cold Air Intake (Soche) Here are the few things that are wrong with the car: -Needs an O2 sensor *check engine light on because of this* (about $70) -Low coolant light stuck on, but temp gauge works fine. Just annoying! -Gas gauge does not work properly, I have dealt with it the last 3 years car can go about 300 miles on a full tank and that is how I kept track! -May need new hub bearings soon (30-60 minute job, fairly easy) Sensor acts up intermittently, but you cannot replace just the sensor because the hubs are self-contained and have the sensor in them. Other than those minor things, this car is great, can be an aggressive car if that is what you are looking for, but is a great daily driver. I get compliments on it all the time and it is still being used as a daily driver. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask, happy bidding! |

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.
GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs
Thu, Aug 20 2015General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
