1998 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2 5 Speed Manual Gold - Runs And Gets Good Gas Mileage on 2040-cars
Rochester, Minnesota, United States
1998 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2 5 speed manual coupe for sale. The car has just under 131,710 miles.
I (my mom was on the loan) purchased this car in 2000 when it was turned in off a lease. A lady in WI had it before me. The car had 13,000 miles when I got it. I purchased the car from my mom in 2004ish (to remove her name from the title). I've had this car in MN and WA when I was stationed there from 2003-2006. The Sunfire was my daily driver up till two years ago. The Sunfire has not been driven a lot since then, with the exception of an occasional longer highway drive. The car runs fine on the road. Gas mileage is around 30-32 or so. The car accelerates to highway speed with no issue. Turning is easy and aided by the front strut bar. Minor accident history: Someone backed into the rear driver fender in 2000 Someone backed into the rear driver fender in 2007. Body repair performed at Viking in Roch. Someone drove into the front driver fender in 2013. The fender is damaged and a replacement fender is included with the car. The hubcaps need replacing. The car was never totaled. Mechanical issues: There is a clicking sound and slight vibration when the car is in gear and not accelerating. I'm not sure what this is and my mechanic said it was coming from the transmission but was not something to warrant dropping the transmission to investigate. This issue does not effect the performance of the car. Air leak in hydrolic clutch line. This causes the clutch peddle to have less resistance. My mechanic places a vacuum On the line for 30 minutes once a year to suck the air bubbles out and make the clutch peddle work like normal. This is a $30 yearly repair. The like should be replaced when the clutch is replaced or transmission is eventually removed. AC does not work, the compressor is bad. An AC recharge can lasts about a day. Light switch is sensitive. The lights can turn off if the rotatory selector is not set all the way. Running lights are not effected. The lights work best when driven with High Beams. The bulbs are a blue hue light and not the factory yellow light. Factory horn disconnected and airborne was used. Air horn relay or compressor went bad ($40 eBay item). Check engine light is on from the radiator fan pulling too much current. My mechanic said replace it once summer's heat hits. Front tires are fine and were replaced a year and a half ago. Rear tires are getting a little low of tread. The muffler is starting to sound loud. I think there is a crack along the bottom of it. The car sounds a little better this way, but it's not annoying like some Honda exhausts can be. Interior: Stereo: this car had a few thumping stereo systems over the years. There is currently a Pioneer 7" LCD CD screen that i have used since 2001. There is an input box in the glove box. I had a PS3 and iPhone cable as my sources (PS3 and iPhone are not included). You can connect any device you wish using RCA audio and composite video. The door speakers and rear dash speakers have been removed. Included with the car is a a pair of pioneer coaxial speakers and a pair of dual coaxial speakers. The amp wires were removed. There is dynamat extreme on the door panels and in the trunk. The factory CD player is included but not installed. Interior panels show signs of age. There are holes in the door panels where speakers used to be located. Door panels are attacked to the doors with screws and not the factory push clips. Driver's seat belt retracting mechanism is worn out. There is a worn spot in the carpet in front of the driver's seat. This spot is from my left boot heal. The car could use a good shampooing if you want it real clean. Exterior: There is a new primed OEM driver side front fender in the trunk. The car has delamination of the clear coat on the front of the car. The hood needs body work or replacement. The bumper has delamination. The hub caps could use replacing if you want them to look nice. There are a few dings and scratches around the car. Past Maintenance: New battery last month (Napa battery) The car was nearly completely free of maintenance issues up untill 120k miles. Pre-120k the car needed batteries, tires, etc.. I replaced the alternator when I pulled the amps out. New brakes and rotors about 4k miles ago. New braces for the exhaust, new exhaust boot and mounts, new driver side strut, and I think a control arm were installed last summer. The car had a can of SeaFoam added to the gas, and ran through the engine, before sitting for much of the last two winters. All in all, this car is also a good option for someone needing a economical car. This car is a good car to learn how to drive a stick on, and for someone that wants to work on a car and learn about stereos. License Plates Yes, you can keep the GWOT license plates. Those are Global War on Terrorism - Expeditionary plates. I served on the USS Nimitz in 2003 and we were off the coast of Iraq launching jets to blow stuff up and jam communications. You will need different plates if you do not have a GWOT-E medal from military service. Contact me if you want more pictures.The Sunfire is in north Rochester MN. Misc: I have the full service manuals and another smaller manual for the car. These manuals will provide step-by-step instruction on how to remove, disassemble, reassemble and install any part. These are very similar to the Illustrated Parts Breakdown and Service Manuals that are used by the military. Payment & Transfer I have the title in hand and will hand to you with the keys after you pay with PayPal. I offer no warranty on this car. This is a list of all the mechanical issues as best as I know them without prejudice. This car is As-Is and the sale is final. |

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction
Sat, Sep 9 2023Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale.

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum
Tue, Aug 27 2019Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles. The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
