2001 Pontiac Aztek Black Fwd on 2040-cars
Mount Vernon, Illinois, United States
Back window is missing from rock Passenger mirror is missing from trampoline getting blown into the passenger side A few dents/scratches on passenger side from trampoline Driver side door/front driver side fender have scratches from a barbed wire fence Front passenger side door window does not work, due to someone previously drilling hole through front passenger side floorboard Needs new battery does take jump start Back license plate light is hanging Interior stains on floor board/seats lots of places Smoker owned vehicle, doesn't seem to smell like smoke No bad/stinky odors Locks must be manually locked/unlocked Normal wear/tear interior/exterior Dashboard coming apart about an inch Air conditioner condenser + compressor was replaced about 4 years ago Rotors replaced about a year and a half ago Something to do with the timing belt and overheating was fixed about a year ago, wasn't cheap Tires about 75% tread Will be needing an oil change Heat and air conditioning work Radio/CD Player works Has clear title. This car ran fine with no known mechanical issues up to the battery dying. Which was a couple of months ago. The car has been jump started and moved a few times for mowing. Car was running just fine up until the battery dieing. Buyer should take vehicle for mechanical inspection upon buying for safety and maintenance. I am not sure if this vehicle has a 204 or 207 cu engine or if it has the Base Trim or GT Trim. I have described this vehicle to the best of my knowledge. Please message me with any questions. I jumped started the car Friday, July 18th last week. I drove it 10 miles, had it at 70mph once as well, and it still runs good just like it did before the battery died. The air conditioner blows strong and cold. It does have a Kenwood CD player in it and the radio works. I have a receipt from 8/13/13 for a serpentine belt. I also have a receipt for a intake gasket replacement. The exact mileage is 173,278. I noticed a dent on the roof, nothing that matters, but thought I'd mention it. It must have been from the trampoline as well. Basically with just simply a back window and passenger mirror this car will be good to go. Plus your oil change and possible alignment. We do not need two vehicles or to pay for insurance on two vehicles. We bought a 01 F-150 less than a year ago with very low miles for our new main vehicle. We stopped driving the Aztek when the battery died 2-3 months ago because we did not want to pay for a new battery and oil changes etc to maintain a car we really don't need. The car has been jump started a few times to move for mowing. And the 10 mile drive I took it on. Now we are finally selling it after having owned it since 2007. The winning bidder is more than welcome to test drive the car, listen to the engine, test the air conditioning, or even take it by a shop in town for a check at your own expense if you would like before completing the transaction. As I do not want to sell a car that is junk. I am not a mechanic but as far as I can tell this car runs fine with no mechanical issues. USED VEHICLE -- Please keep in mind that you are bidding on a used vehicle and we strongly encourage you NOT TO BID if you’re uncomfortable with purchasing a used vehicle that may require mechanical and/or cosmetic work. Being Sold “As-Is” with “No Warranty”. |

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

Toyota urges owners of old Corolla, Matrix and RAV4 models to park them until airbags are replaced
Mon, Jan 29 2024DETROIT — Toyota and General Motors are telling the owners of about 61,000 older Corolla, RAV4, Matrix/ Pontiac Vibe models to stop driving them because their Takata airbag inflators are at risk of exploding and hurling shrapnel. The urgent warning Monday covers: Certain Corolla compact cars and Matrix hatchbacks from the 2003 and 2004 model years. RAV4 small SUVs from 2004 and 2005. Also covered are about 11,000 Pontiac Vibes from 2003 and 2004, which are essentially the same as the Matrix and were made at the same California factory. Most of the vehicles are in the U.S. “If the airbag deploys, a part inside is more likely to explode and shoot sharp metal fragments, which could cause serious injury or death to the driver or passengers,” Toyota said in a statement. Owners can go to nhtsa.gov/recalls and enter their 17-digit vehicle identification number to see if their cars are affected. If you're not the original owner of the vehicle, the manufacturer's recall letter might not reach you, so be sure to do the VIN check. The recalled RAV4s have Takata driver's airbags while the Corolla and Matrix models have them on the passenger side. The Corolla and Matrix also are under a separate recall because their airbags can be deployed without a crash, the company said. Both companies said owners should contact a local dealer instead of driving the cars in for repairs. Dealers will provide options such as mobile repair, towing the car to a dealer, or vehicle pickup and delivery. Takata used volatile ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion to inflate airbags in a crash. But the chemical propellant can deteriorate over time when exposed to high temperatures and humidity. It can explode with too much force, blowing apart a metal canister and spewing shrapnel. At least 26 people have been killed in the U.S. by Takata inflators since May 2009, and at least 30 have died worldwide including people in Malaysia and Australia. In addition, about 400 people have been injured. The exploding airbags sent Takata of Japan into bankruptcy. The potential for a dangerous malfunction led to the largest series of auto recalls in U.S. history. About 100 million inflators were recalled worldwide. Recalls Pontiac Toyota Takata airbag recall
Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Sunfire coupe
Thu, Feb 21 2019In a few months, we'll reach the tenth anniversary of GM's axing of the venerable Pontiac brand. G6s, Vibes, and Matizes continued to be built until 2010, but I'm noticing a marked decrease in discarded Pontiacs lately, as I perform my junkyardy rituals. Here's a 2000 Pontiac Sunfire, photographed in a Colorado wrecking yard. The Sunfire was the near-identical sibling to the Chevrolet Cavalier, based on the long-running (1982-2005) J-Body platform. It was cheap and simple, looked pretty sporty (at least in coupe form), and every parts store in North America carried just about everything you'd need to keep one running. This coupe had to compete for sales not only with a vast and menacing array of imports but with GM's own Saturn SC2 (not to mention the Cavalier itself). Meanwhile, the J platform was showing its age more with each passing year. This car sports what must have been the complete line of Fatal Clothing bomber-nose-art/skate-punk/gang-tag-influenced decals, circa 2010. I actually photographed this car back in 2011, then misplaced the image files until last week. The stickers are very California-centric for a Colorado car, but then plenty of Californians — including me— move here. When you know you're a car's final owner, it's a lot easier to whip out the paint pens and redecorate the interior. Power came from the engine GM developed for the very first J-Bodies: the 2.2-liter 122 pushrod four-cylinder. 2002 was the last model year for 122-powered Sunfires and Cavaliers; the most affordable S-10/Sonoma/Hombre trucks got this engine through 2003.
