Up for auction is this used 2000 Pontiac Bonneville SLE.
I purchased this car six years ago from a dealer. It had just under 65k miles on it at that time. Now, it has 241.5k miles. This has been my work car and it has many highway miles on it. I am selling it to make room for a new (used) car I am buying in a few weeks.
The engine and transmission are strong, but it needs work. It shakes very bad when the brakes are applied. It will most likely need a complete brake job to include rotors and perhaps calipers. Also, it has a good shake at speeds ~ above 40 mph. But it doesn't shake all the time. Sometimes the shake is terrible and other times it is barely present. I do not know what it needs to get that to stop. I have not brought it in - I've just been dealing with it until now. I've parked it for the last week because the shaking just got too much for me to handle.
The engine oil has been changed regularly. The engine does not sputter, misfire, smoke, miss, hiccup or tick. I've never tuned it up, but it always starts and runs.
The transmission is good, too. It was rebuilt with 202k miles on the car in September of 2011.
It has working power windows and locks, radio - cd player with controls on steering wheel, cruise control, wipers, climate control. It has a power driver seat, but not passenger.
It has a moonroof, but I believe the motor is bad - I had to pull it shut while holding the button a couple years ago and never opened it since.
The head liner is coming down in front and back and it is missing from the moonroof lid.
The fog light bulbs are both burned out.
There is a windshield crack running at dashboard level from side to side. It's so low I forget it is there.
The check engine light has been on for years. Last time I had it diagnosed they said I need a new gas cap - never got one.
Here are the repairs I have on file:
3/12 - replace sway bar end links, replace rear air shocks, rear passenger adjustment link arm (drivers needs replacement).
7/09 - replace oil sending unit and purge vent valve.
2/13 - replace brake line in front of gas tank.
7/10 - replace passenger front hub bearing assy and outer tie rod ends.
I've never had any exhaust work done - it has never needed it.
Since I have owned this car it has not been in an accident of any kind. It has not been smoked in. I eat in it, but the interior has not been stained.
There is rust on the left rear quarter and a couple paint chips on the aluminum hood. The rims are aftermarket aluminum - the originals would not seal after awhile.
Tires are Yokohama YK580 with maybe 50% tread remaining.
I have honestly entered all information to the best of my ability. Please refer to my feedback, if needed.
This car is only being offered on this site. It is not listed in a newspaper or any other website. I will not end the auction early and please do not bid unless this is the car you have been looking for.
Thanks for looking.

Porsche Boxster Spyder to get GT3's 4.0-liter flat six?
Sun, Feb 4 2018It's been a merry-go-round the past few months, the rumormill focused on what will power the next Porsche Boxster Spyder. First came hearsay of a flat-six going into the special edition of a model line known for its turbocharged four-cylinder engines. Then came tattling that the flat-six in question was the naturally aspirated, 4.0-liter from the 911 GT3. A couple of weeks ago we wrote " we'd be surprised if Porsche packed anything other than a turbocharged flat-four under the skin." But Autocar has a new report that, indeed, a downtuned version of the 500-horsepower 4.0-liter from the GT3's rump will move to the Boxster Spyder's midsection. The Autocar piece follows a Wheels magazine article from last November, and the prediction isn't outrageous. When Car and Driver reviewed the last Boxster Spyder, it wrote, "the hand-me-down six comes from the older 911 Carrera S, not to be confused with the new turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six that powers the refreshed 911." If we can believe a recent report from Automobile about the 992-series 911 due later this year, the same thing is happening: The 991.2-series GT3 bequeaths its powerplant to the smaller sibling, and the 992-series GT3 moves to a 3.8-liter, twin-turbo flat-six with around 550 hp. Autocar quotes Andreas Preuninger, the Porsche engineer leading the development of all of these wunderkinds, saying of the Boxster earlier this year, "Natural aspiration is one of our main USPs. ... [We] think we can achieve throttle response and immediacy a little bit better with an atmospheric high-revving engine than any kind of turbo." We'll guess that means, by inference, that the GT3 is about to age out of naturally-aspirated university. The limited-edition Boxster Spyder might carry the torch with the 4.0-liter, with output somewhere around 430 hp. The Cayman GT4 could do the same. Or, who knows, an evolution of the 375-hp, 3.8-liter flat-six in the previous Boxster Spyder might burble out of left field. We expect to see the Boxster Spyder late this year. Until then, we'll wait to see what the merry-go-round says next time the Zuffenhausen horse comes around.

This or That: 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 vs. 1984 Pontiac Fiero
Tue, Feb 10 2015Welcome to another round of This or That, where two Autoblog editors pick a topic, pick a side and pull no punches. Last round pitted yours truly against Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, and my chosen VW Vanagon Syncro narrowly defeated Brandon's 1987 Land Rover. In fact, it was, by far, the closest round we've seen, with 1,907 voters seeing things my way (for 50.8 percent of the vote) versus 1,848 votes for Brandon's Rover (49.2 percent). Sweet, sweet victory! For this latest round of This or That, I've roped Editor Greg Migliore into what I think is a rather fun debate. We've each chosen our favorite terrible cars, setting a price limit of $10,000 to make sure neither of us went too crazy with our automotive atrocities. I think we've both chosen terribly... and I mean that in the best way possible. 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 Jeremy Korzeniewski: Why It's Terrible: Taken in isolation, the Chrysler Crossfire isn't necessarily a terrible car. In fact, it drives pretty darn well, and there's a lot of solid engineering under its slinky shape. Problem is, that engineering was already rather long in the tooth well before Chrysler ever got its hands on it, having come from Mercedes-Benz, which used the basic chassis and drivetrain in a previous version of its SLK coupe and roadster. Granted, the SLK was an okay car, too, but even when new, it hardly set the world on fire with sporty driving dynamics. Chrysler took these decent-but-no-more bits and pieces from the Mercedes parts bin – remember, this car was conceived in the disastrous Merger Of Equals days – and covered them with a rather attractive hard-candy shell. Unfortunately, the super sporty shape wrote checks in the minds of buyers that its well-worn mechanicals were simply unable to cash, though an injection of power courtesy of a supercharged V6 engine in the SRT6 model, as seen here, certainly helped ease some of those woes. In the end, Chrysler was left with a so-called halo car that looked the part but never quite performed the part. It was almost universally panned by critics as an overpriced parts-bin special, which, I must add, was damningly accurate. As a result, sales were very slow, and within the first few months, dealers were clearancing the car at cut-rate prices, just to keep them from taking up too much of the showroom floor. Why It's Not That Terrible, After All: I can speak from personal experience when discussing the Chrysler Crossfire. You see, I owned one. Well, sort of...
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
