This car is a Special Edition, which (to the best of my knowledge) means that it has those awesome hood vents, twin chrome exhaust pipes, and the emblems on the inside doors and on each side of the car.
I am the second owner. I bought the car in Vegas in 2006. This car has only seen 3 Chicago winters. The last two were extremely mild, and during the one prior, I lived a block from work, so she didn't get driven through the salt very often. Who ever owned the car before me loved it, it was in perfect condition when I took it over.
The car is clean. It is nice on the inside and on the outside.
This has been my everyday car, and it's fun to drive. Even though it's a V6, the gas mileage is not that bad (17 city, 28 HW). It comfortably sits 5 people, and there is a pull-down arm rest in the back seat, with key-lock access into the trunk.
This car has not been in any accidents - I have a completely clean/clear title.
That being said, the check engine light is on. I believe it is caused because the engine coolant is leaking. I have no idea why - I don't have time to get that stuff checked out, which is why I'm passing on my baby.
On the dashboard, the supercharger measure is out, and the air conditioner needs a Freon boost.
I have taken all of this in to consideration when deciding on a price (Auto Trader lists this at $4800, KBB lists this car's "Fair Value" at about $4500).
I want this car to find a home with some one who will love her and take care of her.
If you are interested in taking a look, please contact me.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
