Ashland, Massachusetts, United States
|
The Vehicle..........2003 Pontiac Grand Prix GT sedan in dark blue with a
black leather interior. This Grand Prix GT is in GOOD CONDITION and RUNS BEAUTIFULLY. It has a completely CLEAN CARFAX report. Features include Front-Wheel-Drive, fuel efficient 3.8 liter engine,
automatic transmission, power steering and brakes, air conditioning, power
windows, power door locks, power mirrors, cruise control, tilt
steering wheel, delay wipers, am-fm-cd stereo, power sliding glass
sunroof, chrome alloy wheels, and much more. We encourage all local bidders
to see, inspect, and test drive this car prior to bidding. It is parked
indoors at the Car Vault at 20 Whitney St. in Holliston, MA. It's Condition..........GOOD! The engine runs smoothly with no skips, noises, or vibrations. All other mechanical
systems seem to function properly. There are no warning lights on the dash and
the air conditioning blows cold. The interior is about average. There are no badly
worn, torn, or stained areas on the seats, carpets, or headliner. The seats are
comfortable and supportive. All other interior panels look great. The body is
better than average. There are no big dents, or serious scratches
anywhere. The paint appears original and has an outstanding shine. The front
bumper was resprayed by the former owner to cover up paint cracks in the
plastic (see photo). Driving this Grand Prix GT is a solid and stable experience with a
powerful engine, comfortable interior and great stereo. There are no
shakes, rattles, or vibrations, and the handling is everything you would
expect. I do NOT represent this Grand Prix to be in “like new” condition, or
anything close to that, but I would describe it as CLEAN, SAFE, and COMFORTABLE. Things
you should know..........I try hard to accurately describe all of our vehicles.
Most are trade-ins to local new car dealers. We have not owned or driven these
vehicles as daily transportation. The description is the result of a short test
drive over varied road surfaces and a visual inspection while the vehicle is
parked. I am not a mechanic and I do not guarantee that my description of
problems (if any) is accurate or complete, but I try very hard to be thorough
and honest, and my reputation reflects that effort. Please remember that these
are used vehicles and you should expect a normal amount of wear for the year
and mileage, but any serious known defects would be noted above. Local
bidders are encouraged to see, drive, and inspect this vehicle prior to bidding.
The
Details..........Please
leave a $200 deposit at the end of the auction through ebay checkout and
Paypal. The balance is due within 7 days in cash, or by wire transfer. I’ve
been burned by official looking bank checks that were made on a home computer
so we no longer accept checks of ANY kind. We add a $250
doc fee to all vehicle purchases. Paperwork will include a Bill of

notarized paperwork or special forms, please let me know before you arrive. The vehicle is being sold AS-IS, with no

you will need to bring your own license plates. Please call Marty at 508-944-4914 to set up a time to inspect the car. Don't wait until the last day. That never works. |

Why Pontiac should come back and how it can be relevant again
Mon, Apr 17 2017When I was a kid growing up in Metro Detroit, our family was always entwined in the General Motors empire. My dad and some of our relatives worked for GM in various capacities, and we had our fair share of Chevrolet, GMC, and even Buick products in our humble driveway. However, it was my Uncle Ed that always had a vehicle from the one GM brand that always appealed to me the most: Pontiac. Seeing him pull up in his Pontiac 6000 and later the '90s era Grand Prix sedan that replaced it was always an exciting occasion, and both of these models also reflected the playful spirit that once defined the Pontiac brand. Back when Pontiac first got its performance groove on in the '60s, names such as GTO, Firebird, as well as Bonneville became iconic nameplates in the broader muscle car era. The '80s saw Pontiac lose some of its styling heritage, but also try new things at the same time including turbocharging as well as the mid-engine sports car with the flawed but still sleek Pontiac Fiero. When the Pontiac brand was shuttered in 2009, it was a mere few years after I earned my drivers license, and also when Pontiac was just beginning to regain some of its lost luster. Granted cookie cutter efforts like the Pontiac G3, (Chevrolet Aveo) G5, (Chevrolet Cobalt) and G6 (Chevrolet Malibu) certainly did not help matters during Pontiac's final years on the market, but two models in particular offered a compelling glimpse into what could've been for the storied brand. The first was the Pontiac Solstice roadster/coupe. Originally introduced as a concept back in 2004, and championed by everyone's fighter jet flying auto executive Bob Lutz, the Solstice was designed to be a serious competitor to the Mazda Miata, and while its interior ergonomics were flawed and the top solution not ideal. It proved to be a fun little car to drive, and also a sales success for Pontiac with initial demand exceeding expectations.This was especially due to its lineup of engines with the 2.0 liter LHU turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 260 horsepower in GXP variants. The second and (inarguably my favorite Pontiac model) was the Pontiac G8 sedan. Originating in Australia as the Holden Commodore VE, the G8 was designed to rectify the multitude of sins created by the last generation Bonneville. Front wheel drive was pitched in favor of rear wheel drive, and for the first time in a long time interior ergonomics and cladding free exterior styling were key building blocks for success.
Junkyard Gem: 1996 Pontiac Grand Am SE Coupe
Thu, Jun 22 2023The Grand Am was the best-selling Pontiac model in the United States for every year of the 1990s, and it outsold most of its N-Body platform-mates (including the Chevrolet Corsica/Beretta) during nearly all of that decade. A sporty-looking compact with two or four doors, the Grand Am offered true 1990s radness—and, in some cases, respectable performance — at a good price. Today's Junkyard Gem is a nicely preserved example of the facelifted 1996 Grand Am, found in a Denver-area car graveyard. This is an SE Coupe with base engine and transmission, the most affordable Grand Am available in 1996. List price was $13,499, or about $26,523 in 2023 dollars. The factory-issued Monroney sheet for this car was still inside, so we can see that the original buyer got the car at Bob Ruwart Motors in Wheatland, Wyoming (about 175 miles up I-25 from this Pontiac's final parking spot), and paid a total of $16,054 ($31,543 in today's money) after the cost of options and the destination charge. The '96 Grand AM SE buyer had to pay extra for cruise control, air conditioning, power windows, rear glass defogger and other features we now take for granted on new cars. The base engine was the 2.4-liter Twin Cam four cylinder, a member of the screaming Oldsmobile Quad 4 family. This one was rated at 150 horsepower and 155 pound-feet. A 3.1-liter V6 with 155 horses and 185 pound-feet was an option. If you got the V6 in your '96 Grand Am, however, you couldn't get a manual transmission. This car has a proper five-speed manual, which made for fun driving with the high-revving Twin Cam engine in a machine weighing just 2,802 pounds (which is quite a bit less than what the current Honda Civic weighs). It traveled just over 160,000 miles during its 27 years on the road. The body and interior were still in fairly good condition when the car arrived here, so we can assume that some expensive mechanical problem doomed this car. Perhaps the original clutch wore out and the owner didn't consider it worth replacing. After all, a mid-1990s Detroit two-door with a transmission most people can't drive isn't worth much these days. Though nobody knew it when this car was new, the Grand Am would be gone in nine years and Pontiac itself would get the axe five years after that. It makes the ordinary extraordinary. Husbands and wives would argue for 12 hours over who got to drive the Grand Am, if we are to believe this ad. Proud sponsor of the 1996 Olympic team.
Junkyard Gem: 2006 Pontiac Solstice
Wed, Sep 4 2019The debut of the Pontiac Solstice, back in 2005 for the 2006 model year, stirred up much excitement in the automotive world. Sales were brisk at first, and then they weren't so great… and then Pontiac itself went under The General's cost-cutting axe. One thing I have learned during my junkyard travels is that even sought-after sports cars eventually reach a point at which they start showing up in the big self-service junkyards. For example, the BMW Z3 began appearing in such yards about five years ago, along with the Audi TT. While the Honda S2000 still appears to be exempt from this process, today's Junkyard Gem shows that the time has now come for the Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky. The first Z3s and TTs I saw in the U-Wrench-type yards were crash victims, not worth fixing, and that's the case with this Solstice. In a few more years, I'll start seeing the occasional Solstice/Sky discarded due to general worn-outness. Someone grabbed all the undented front body parts and the transmission (these items, presumably, being valuable), but no junkyard shoppers have felt like pulling the non-turbo 2.0-liter Ecotec. The interior seems dirty, probably from exposure to the elements while sitting outdoors in this Colorado Springs wrecking yard, but not in bad shape otherwise. Perhaps the car's owner celebrated a return from Iraq with the purchase of a sporty new Pontiac, 13 years ago. These cars have an enthusiastic following, so I wasn't expecting to see a junked one so soon after production ceased. I felt the same way about the Chrysler Crossfire, however, and I found two of those last year. What's next, a 2002-2005 Thunderbird? This content is hosted by a third party.
