Please read entire description before bidding. Vehicle needs engine work.

What you are looking at here is a 2003 Bonneville SSEi that my mother purchased new from Superior Pontiac in 2003. Since that time it has always been garaged, oil changed every 3k miles, has always had premium fuel, and has been detailed every year. This vehicle has always been extremely well maintained. The paint is original and looks near perfect. The car has never seen the inside of a body shop. Has never been in any type of collision.

The vehicle had an intake leak, and ran low on coolant, and overheated. After this happened, my mother decided to purchase a new vehicle, and I jumped on the chance to buy this one. I had the intake manifold re-sealed and the thermostat replaced. Unfortunately, after this work was performed, the vehicle developed an engine knock on acceleration. I took it in and had the oil pan removed for inspection. Sure enough one of the bearings had been damaged (I assume by the excessive heat.) At minimum, the vehicle will need a new or re-ground crankshaft and one connecting rod, possibly more. There is currently no engine oil in the engine, and one of the rod baring caps was left off, so it does not run at this time.

I really hate to sell this car, but I don't have the funds to fix it at this time and don't want to let this beautiful car sit in the sun all summer. I don't have room in the garage anymore so she has to go. The front breaks were done just before the car was put out of commission. The factory replacement battery is about one year old. The tires are near new michelins with a ton of tread left. The ABS light was on the last time I drove the car. I did not have it diagnosed.

As you can see in the pictures, the car is in spectacular condition in and out. There is a small wear mark on the edge of the driver's seat. It is not worn through the leather, just the color. There are a few small marks around the cup holders from use. There is no noticeable wear to the steering wheel or radio/hvac buttons. There are some chips on the front bumper from road debris. There is a light scuff mark on the rear bumper, and a few little scratches in front of one of the passenger side door handles. All damage is pictured. There is no visible wear to any of the carpets or SSEi factory mats.

The registration has been out since September so there will be a small fee attached. Likely around $200 but Ill check and add it later. The title is a clean ca title, in my name, in hand.

There is no damage to any glass whatsoever. All of the power options (windows, seats, sunroof, locks,) work as they should. The a/c and heat functions are auto and work great.

I have tried to describe this vehicle to the best of my ability. Please ask any and all questions before bidding. Contact me through here or email me at caseyamack1@gmail.com. If you email me your phone number I will call you to discuss the vehicle. I would love to show the vehicle before the auction is over if you are local. I honestly believe that if you see it first, your max bid will go up. The car books for about $9K (fixed, obviously.) Check it at kbb.com.

I have never shipped a vehicle before but if you would like to arrange it I will help out in any way I can. If I think of any more information that may be helpful I will add it. If you have questions please ask.

It should go without saying, but please don't bid unless you have the money and are absolutely sure you will purchase the vehicle. I would like to receive payment within 48 hours of auction close. I have a paypal account if you would like to use it. Otherwise, cash is great. I will accept a check but the vehicle will not be released until the funds clear.

Thanks for looking. Happy bidding.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
