Supercharged Sports Luxury Sedan - Medium Red Metallic, original MSRP over $33K.


The AutoCheck Vehicle History Report listed here shows that the car was in an accident in 2004 - I am the second owner and bought the car from Palm Auto Mall in 2005, the AutoCheck I received then DID NOT mention the accident.  I just found out about it earlier this year in a CARFAX Vehicle History Report that states "Accident reported involving right front impact, it hit a motor vehicle, Vehicle functional".  There were no signs of any damage when I bought the car so I'm assuming it was a very minor fender bender that hasn't affected the car at all.  I have the original AutoCheck as well as the 2013 CARFAX.

I've loved this car and wouldn't be selling it but the AC needs to be fixed and I just had a baby so I finally bit the bullet and bought a new car.

120K miles, probably has another 100K miles left in it with proper care. Runs beautifully! Gets great gas mileage for size/power - I averaged 30 MPG on a road trip to my brother's for Thanksgiving at about 70-80 MPH and typically get around 22/23 MPG for a general mix of stop and go/local highway travel. The EPA estimates are 17 city, 28 highway.

Yokohama AVID ENVigor tires put on in 2011, less than 24K miles ago, still in great shape and have a treadlife warranty of 5 years/60K miles. Also have lifetime road hazard warranty at local Watkins Tire & Auto on 41 at Port Charlotte/North Port border.

This is a comfortable, safe, luxurious car with features that were impressive for its time and still compare to most cars today!
Features:
3.8 Liter Supercharged V6
240 Horsepower

12-way Power Seats
Memory Driver Seat
Steering Wheel Mounted Controls
Oil Life Indicator
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Power Locks, Windows, etc.
Remote Keyless Entry
Tilt-steering Column
8-speaker Audio System by Bose
CD player

Leather
Sunroof
Built-in Air Compressor (comes in handy!)
Locking Gas Tank Door

Just changed the supercharger oil.
Had an oil change and tire rotation in the fall - with the oil life indicator I've usually only needed about 2 oil changes a year.
Calls for premium gas but I don't notice any difference in performance or gas mileage with mid-grade or regular.

I will include: 
Air Compressor Kit with hose and attachments for filling tires, sports balls, floats, etc.
Supercharger Oil - 48 oz, enough for about 6 oil changes and they only need to be done about once a year.
Tools necessary for supercharger oil check/change (it's very easy).
Adapter for iPod
Premium Touch-up Repair Kit
Other misc.

As mentioned above, the AC isn't currently working (blows hot) - it might just need to be recharged with sealant, in the past that's worked and I also had an o-ring replaced and it blew ice cold for a year after that.  
Other non-optimal issues:
Sunroof drains have tendency to clog/not drain properly and can leak into car if not kept up on.
Driver's seat leather is pretty torn up as shown in picture (only seat with damage), could be re-upholstered fairly inexpensively or use a seat cover or get a new seat from junkyard/online - I've just been using a cushion to cover it.
Light in clock/RSS doesn't always work properly - maybe needs a new fuse?
Slow oil leak, might need the valve gasket replaced eventually.
Area of paint near gas tank that a bird "went" on and even though I cleaned it off fairly quickly it has continued to degrade, visible in picture of driver's side of car.

I'm very honest and will fully disclose anything you want to know about the car, it's a great car but obviously not in perfect condition anymore at this age. I have the manual, all car records/receipts, and kept a log of all maintenance and other things done.

Win a car while supporting a charity this holiday season

Thu, Dec 9 2021

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze.  The leaves have fallen, there is a crispness to the air and there have already been multiple forecasts of snow, which can only mean one thing: We're coming up on Christmas. While you've been busy thinking about what kind of gifts you're going to give your loved ones, we here at Autoblog have been deciding which dream car we'd like to see in our driveway on Christmas morning. A car for Christmas does seem a bit extreme and expensive, but thanks to these Omaze sweepstakes, it doesn't have to break the bank. Here are the current sweepstakes we'd like to win this holiday season. Win a DeLorean DMC-12 - Enter at Omaze James Riswick, West Coast Editor: Let me be clear, the DeLorean is a pretty terrible car. Its speedometer doesn't even go up to the fabled 88 mph. Seriously, look at the pictures: tops out at 85. Also, who services a DeLorean? And how much would it cost to maintain one? $AlloftheMoney or just $MostoftheMoney? So owning it could be a total headache, but at least by winning one through Omaze, you'd be relieved of the financial burden of buying one in the first place. You'd also get the chance to own one of the most iconic cars of all time, one that transcends car enthusiasm and is instantly recognizable by everyone as the "Back to the Future" car. Plus, "everyone" doesn't know that the DeLorean was actually a pretty terrible car. So, I already own James Bond's car from 1995, why not Doc Brown's from 1985? Win a 2021 Bentley Bentayga V8 - Enter at Omaze Eddie Sabatini, Production Manager: Why am I choosing a +$200K Bentley SUV? Because even if I could afford one I'd never be able to wrap my head around spending money on one. So why not try to win one by donating what I can afford to a good cause? I first saw the Bentley Bentayga up close and personal at the Frankfurt Motor Show (I forget which year but I'll never forget this SUV). And although it looks like the Bentayga Omaze is offering up doesn't have the opulent tailgate setup I fell in love with when I saw it in Frankfurt, I'd still enter to win. Win a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda - Enter at Omaze Byron Hurd, Editor: Few automotive marketing efforts stick out in my head more than the Mercedes-Benz holiday spots and magazine placements.

Junkyard Gem: 2003 Pontiac Grand Am GT 30th Anniversary Edition

Mon, May 29 2023

With the era of the 1960s-style muscle car ended by the ever-more-stringent emissions regulations, insurance costs and higher gasoline prices of the early 1970s, GM's Pontiac Division was ready with a lineup of flash-enhanced machines packed with (alleged) European-style performance and styling. Three of them were based on the midsize A Platform for 1973: the LeMans, the Grand Prix and the brand-new Grand Am. The 1973 Grand Am was cheaper than the luxed-up Grand Prix, but still had a BMW-ish interior and wild exterior styling; sales weren't great, but the 30th anniversary of this car seemed sufficiently momentous for Pontiac to create a special-edition package for its soon-to-be-axed successor. Here's one of these rare machines, spotted recently in a Denver car graveyard. The original rear-wheel-drive Grand Am was built for the 1973-1975 and 1978-1980 model years, but its similarity to the much cheaper LeMans kept sales numbers unimpressive. When the Grand Am name was revived for a Pontiac-badged compact on the front-drive N Platform in the 1985 model year, however, it became a big seller right away and stayed that way into our current century. The N-Body Grand Am was built through 2005, with platform updates for the 1992 and 1999 model years. Along the way, it was sibling to such cars as the Oldsmobile Calais, Buick Somerset, Chevrolet Beretta and Oldsmobile Alero. By 2003, though, the ground was shifting under Pontiac's feet. The iconic Firebird had been discontinued the previous year, and even the Grand Prix's days were officially numbered. Oldsmobile would be gone after 2004, and the entire Pontiac vehicle lineup would be shaken up soon after. The last year for the Grand Am (and the Sunfire) would be 2005, with the G6 taking its place. With all that going on, why not offer a 30th Anniversary package? After all, the Grand Prix got a 40th Anniversary Edition for 2002. Our reviewer described this car as "leaner, trimmer and more contemporary" at the time, but made no mention of the 30th Anniversary Edition. The VIN says this car is a top-grade GT1 sedan, with an MSRP of $22,325 (that's about $39,920 in 2023 dollars). Two engines were available in the 2003 Grand Am: a 2.2-liter Ecotec four-cylinder with 140 horsepower and a 3.4-liter pushrod V6 with either 170 or 175 horsepower. This car has the 175-horse V6, complete with "Ram Air" cold-air induction. That name goes way back in Pontiac history.

Burt Reynolds' movie re-creations fetch $379,500 in Vegas

Wed, Oct 3 2018

The recent death of Hollywood legend and automotive enthusiast Burt Reynolds helped drive up the value of four of his former cars from the 1970s and '80s, which sold last weekend at Barrett-Jackson's Las Vegas auction for a combined $379,500. Reynolds, who died Sept. 6 at age 82, had offered three Pontiac Trans Ams — two of them re-creations of the cars he drove in "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Hooper" and the third from 1984 used to promote his United States Football League team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth was a 1978 Chevrolet R30 pickup truck, styled like the one featured in "Cannonball Run." The "Bandit" re-creation, a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that Reynolds ordered to be as "movie-correct" as possible but featuring a custom-built 200-4R automatic transmission, sold for $192,500. The car features a freshly built Pontiac 400 cubic-inch V8 mated to a four-speed automatic and featuring all-new Butler Performance parts and air-conditioning components. Reynolds reportedly said this was his favorite car from his films, and it even came with an authentic movie-correct CB radio and CB antenna. The red retro-rocket "Hooper" '78 Firebird, with a 403 cubic-inch V8 and a three-speed automatic, hammered for $88,000. By comparison, a gold 1978 Trans Am also offered at the Las Vegas auction but not connected to Reynolds fetched $27,500. The 1987 Chevy R30 pickup was a re-creation of the Indy Hauler pace truck seen jumping over a moving freight train in "Cannonball Run." It hammered for $49,500. The fourth car never appeared in any of Reynolds' films but is instead the only surviving example of two Trans Ams used to promote the Tampa Bay Bandits of the now-defunct USFL, having been driven out onto the field by Reynolds and his late friend and co-star, Jerry Reed, during opening day one season. It also sold for $49,500. At the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in 2016, Reynolds accompanied a 1977 Trans Am used to promote "Bandit" onto the auction block. That car sold for $550,000.
