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”.

Junkyard Gem: 1968 Pontiac Catalina sedan

Wed, Aug 14 2019

During the late 1960s, General Motors ruled the American car landscape, growing so dominant that the federal government considered antitrust action to break up the company. The General offered sporty Corvettes and muscular GTOs and rugged pickups and opulent Fleetwoods, sure, but the fat part of the sales numbers came from the bread-and-butter full-sized sedans and coupes, which boasted superior engineering and modern-looking styling; in 1967 alone, the Chevrolet Division moved 972,600 full-sized cars, and that's not even counting the 155,100 full-sized Chevy station wagons that year. Pontiac, Buick and Oldsmobile sold the same big cars with division-specific engines and bodywork, and they flew off the showroom floors. For 1968, the entry-level full-sized car from Pontiac was the Catalina, and I've found an example of the most affordable version of the most affordable big Pontiac for 1968, discarded in a northeastern Colorado wrecking yard about 50 miles south of Cheyenne, Wyoming. A '68 GM full-sized coupe, convertible, or even a four-door hardtop might be worth the cost and effort of a restoration, but a no-options base-trim-level post sedan with rust and plenty of body filler just won't get many takers these days. Like so many vehicles that sit outside for decades on the High Plains, this one is full of rodent nests. I wouldn't want to work on the interior of this car without a respirator and a lot of work with a shop-vac, because hantavirus is a significant danger in these parts. Alfred Sloan's plan to offer a stepladder of prestige for GM buyers, in which your first new car was a Chevrolet and you moved up through Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Buick until you became sufficiently prosperous for Cadillac ownership, worked brilliantly for decades. In 1968, the Catalina was a notch above its Impala sibling on the Snob-O-Meter, with the sedan starting at $3,004 (about $22,600 in 2019 dollars). In fact, the V8-equipped 1968 Chevrolet Impala sedan listed at $3,033, and the Oldsmobile Delmont 88 went for $3,146, so the lines were beginning to blur between the relative positions of the lower-end GM divisions by this time. The base engine in the 1968 Catalina was a 400-cubic-inch (6.5 liter) V8 rated at 265 horsepower and enough torque to tow an aircraft carrier.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
