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”. |

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
The last Pontiac Fiero sold for $90,000 at auction
Thu, Dec 3 2020On August 16, 1988 the last Pontiac Fiero, a red GT model, rolled off the assembly line at GM's Pontiac Assembly plant located in Pontiac, Michigan. It wasn't just the final Fiero, but the final car to be built at that site. The car was raffled off to one of 1,400 plant employees that would soon have to find jobs elsewhere. Whoever that employee was, they remained faithful to the Fiero and kept it in mint condition for 32 years. Last month, it was finally time to move on. It crossed the block at GAA Auctions in Greensboro, North Carolina where it sold for an astounding $90,000. According to the auction house, that's a new world record. The price no doubt reflected the car's place in history as the last example of GM's 1980s mid-engined sports car. However, it was also showroom-new, with just 582 miles clocked on its 2.8-liter V6. 1988 models were also fitted with an upgraded, Lotus-esque suspension produced for just that one year. In addition, this car, serial number 226402, came with its original build sheet, photos from the assembly line, and a collection of news articles and books. It still wore its pre-delivery plastic on the interior and was fully loaded with automatic transmission. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

You can see the action starting at the 2:50:13 mark in the video above. The Fiero was symbolic of the 1980s and stood out from the standard GM passenger car fare for its mid-engine layout and plastic body panels. In an era when GM often rebadged cars with minimal differences, the Fiero rode on its own unique chassis. It was positioned as one of the defining products for Pontiac, GM's "excitement" brand, but actual performance never quite lived up to its striking looks. Nevertheless, it garnered a cult following. It's often the basis for (questionable) custom builds mimicking more exotic models like Ferraris and Lamborghinis, thanks to a steel space-frame design that allows body panels to be easily removed. Thankfully, this significant example escaped such a fate and will live on as a reminder of an interesting chapter of automotive history.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
