1998 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2 5 Speed Manual Gold - Runs And Gets Good Gas Mileage on 2040-cars
Rochester, Minnesota, United States
|
1998 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2 5 speed manual coupe for sale. The car has just under 131,710 miles.
I (my mom was on the loan) purchased this car in 2000 when it was turned in off a lease. A lady in WI had it before me. The car had 13,000 miles when I got it. I purchased the car from my mom in 2004ish (to remove her name from the title). I've had this car in MN and WA when I was stationed there from 2003-2006. The Sunfire was my daily driver up till two years ago. The Sunfire has not been driven a lot since then, with the exception of an occasional longer highway drive. The car runs fine on the road. Gas mileage is around 30-32 or so. The car accelerates to highway speed with no issue. Turning is easy and aided by the front strut bar. Minor accident history: Someone backed into the rear driver fender in 2000 Someone backed into the rear driver fender in 2007. Body repair performed at Viking in Roch. Someone drove into the front driver fender in 2013. The fender is damaged and a replacement fender is included with the car. The hubcaps need replacing. The car was never totaled. Mechanical issues: There is a clicking sound and slight vibration when the car is in gear and not accelerating. I'm not sure what this is and my mechanic said it was coming from the transmission but was not something to warrant dropping the transmission to investigate. This issue does not effect the performance of the car. Air leak in hydrolic clutch line. This causes the clutch peddle to have less resistance. My mechanic places a vacuum On the line for 30 minutes once a year to suck the air bubbles out and make the clutch peddle work like normal. This is a $30 yearly repair. The like should be replaced when the clutch is replaced or transmission is eventually removed. AC does not work, the compressor is bad. An AC recharge can lasts about a day. Light switch is sensitive. The lights can turn off if the rotatory selector is not set all the way. Running lights are not effected. The lights work best when driven with High Beams. The bulbs are a blue hue light and not the factory yellow light. Factory horn disconnected and airborne was used. Air horn relay or compressor went bad ($40 eBay item). Check engine light is on from the radiator fan pulling too much current. My mechanic said replace it once summer's heat hits. Front tires are fine and were replaced a year and a half ago. Rear tires are getting a little low of tread. The muffler is starting to sound loud. I think there is a crack along the bottom of it. The car sounds a little better this way, but it's not annoying like some Honda exhausts can be. Interior: Stereo: this car had a few thumping stereo systems over the years. There is currently a Pioneer 7" LCD CD screen that i have used since 2001. There is an input box in the glove box. I had a PS3 and iPhone cable as my sources (PS3 and iPhone are not included). You can connect any device you wish using RCA audio and composite video. The door speakers and rear dash speakers have been removed. Included with the car is a a pair of pioneer coaxial speakers and a pair of dual coaxial speakers. The amp wires were removed. There is dynamat extreme on the door panels and in the trunk. The factory CD player is included but not installed. Interior panels show signs of age. There are holes in the door panels where speakers used to be located. Door panels are attacked to the doors with screws and not the factory push clips. Driver's seat belt retracting mechanism is worn out. There is a worn spot in the carpet in front of the driver's seat. This spot is from my left boot heal. The car could use a good shampooing if you want it real clean. Exterior: There is a new primed OEM driver side front fender in the trunk. The car has delamination of the clear coat on the front of the car. The hood needs body work or replacement. The bumper has delamination. The hub caps could use replacing if you want them to look nice. There are a few dings and scratches around the car. Past Maintenance: New battery last month (Napa battery) The car was nearly completely free of maintenance issues up untill 120k miles. Pre-120k the car needed batteries, tires, etc.. I replaced the alternator when I pulled the amps out. New brakes and rotors about 4k miles ago. New braces for the exhaust, new exhaust boot and mounts, new driver side strut, and I think a control arm were installed last summer. The car had a can of SeaFoam added to the gas, and ran through the engine, before sitting for much of the last two winters. All in all, this car is also a good option for someone needing a economical car. This car is a good car to learn how to drive a stick on, and for someone that wants to work on a car and learn about stereos. License Plates Yes, you can keep the GWOT license plates. Those are Global War on Terrorism - Expeditionary plates. I served on the USS Nimitz in 2003 and we were off the coast of Iraq launching jets to blow stuff up and jam communications. You will need different plates if you do not have a GWOT-E medal from military service. Contact me if you want more pictures.The Sunfire is in north Rochester MN. Misc: I have the full service manuals and another smaller manual for the car. These manuals will provide step-by-step instruction on how to remove, disassemble, reassemble and install any part. These are very similar to the Illustrated Parts Breakdown and Service Manuals that are used by the military. Payment & Transfer I have the title in hand and will hand to you with the keys after you pay with PayPal. I offer no warranty on this car. This is a list of all the mechanical issues as best as I know them without prejudice. This car is As-Is and the sale is final. |

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs
Thu, Aug 20 2015General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
