2006 Pontiac Solstice In Concept Colors 40,000 Miles! Make Offer! on 2040-cars
Sacramento, California, United States
|
Carmax has offered me $7000.00 for this car, and in 72 hours I will be selling this car to them unless someone offers more. You are bidding on a 2006 Pontiac Solstice in concept colors. The Pontiac Solstice was first seen at the 2002 Auto Show and the brought to life in 2006, designed by Bob Lutz, the same man who designed the BMW 3 series, Dodge Viper and the Plymouth Prowler. The Pontiac Solstice is the only car to have all of its exterior body panels hydroformed, meaning all the curves of the body panels were formed with water. The car is registered in my father's name and has a clean New York state title. Car is paid off with title in hand. The car was just clay bar and waxed for the next owner. As of today it has 40,096 miles on it, Keep in mind it is still driven from day to day, so it may have a couple of hundred more when it is picked up. Less then 40,600 guaranteed. Car also has a 5 speed Manual transmission. I bought the car on April 28 2011 and have had only synthetic oil changes done on the car and performed all routine and needed maintenance. Car is 110% mechanically sound, you can drive it anywhere. I'm also willing to bring it to your mechanic or dealership to have it looked over, if they are local to the Sacramento area. The car is in fantastic shape inside and outside. It is in the concept colors of Grey Steel and two tone leather interior. It has premium 18 inch wheels, 6 CD in dash changer, an XM antenna added to trunk, power windows and power locks. It shows minor scuffs and minor scratches. The gap in between the bumper and the fenders is a little greater because of a parking block mishap, but not really noticeable. The flip out passenger side cup holder is broken and stuck in. The top has a tiny "slit" in it only an inch long, It was patched with a very thin line of clear waterproof sealant. The car has been through many, many cars washes since it was patched with no problems or leaking. The front bumper has scratches underneath it. I parked too close to a parking block and backed up over it. Some scuffs and missing 2 small clips. The car at one point was also improperly put on a lift and lifted. Leaving small divots on the bottom of each of the front fenders. Afterwards, the passenger side fender was hitting the door seam so there is a small paint chip on the passenger door where it meets the fender. The fender has been put back in place and does not hit the door anymore. The car also has the "ABS" light on, due to the driver side back sensor being "bad/broken". I never replaced it, having a small roadster without abs never bothered me. The keyless entry remotes do not work. A dealership has told me that it needs new remotes. The back passenger side wheel shows some very minor cosmetic damage (please see photos) and the front passenger wheel has very minor scuff. FYI the car has been smoked in, on and off. Seeking $9,000.00, best offers will be considered. The only reason I am selling this car is because I'm moving across the country, if not for that it wouldn't be for sale or for this price. All buyers can arrange to come see the car in person before bidding if they would like. The car is located in the downtown Sacramento area. Winning bidder must pay a $500 deposit within 48 hours and the rest on pick up. Delivery might be able to be arranged, please message me before bidding. I will ship anywhere, as long as the full cost is paid for by the buyer as well as the shipping arrangements made by them as well. Questions call Chris 6465849739

Junkyard Gem: 1968 Pontiac Catalina sedan
Wed, Aug 14 2019During 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.
GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
