1999 Pontiac Grand Prix Gtp Sedan 4-door 3.8l Supercharged Only 69k Miles!!! on 2040-cars
Franklin, Ohio, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
This car is loaded with virtually every option available from the factory! It comes equipped with power everything (locks, windows, driver's seat, flip-up sunroof), keyless entry with two (2) remotes, heated driver's seat, heads-up display (projects vehicle speed and other relevant information onto windshield), cruise control, ABS and traction control, dual-zone automatic climate control, trip computer/driver information center, CD player with steering wheel controls, and most importantly the 3.8 L engine with the rare supercharger option boosting the horsepower up to an impressive rating of 240! Although no warranty is being given or implied, this car is my daily driver and currently has no known mechanical issues. Everything appears to be functioning as it should including the A/C which is ice cold. I've recently put four new Fuzion tires on the car and the brake pads and rotors are less than a week old, all the way around. I've taken this car on many longer trips and it's just an extraordinarily comfortable and sporty sedan. The most impressive thing about the car is the extremely low mileage for its age. The odometer currently reads 69,027 although it could go up slightly by the time the auction concludes (no more then a couple hundred miles at most). Cosmetically, this car is in great condition for its age. It cleans up well and the paint still has a shiny gloss to it with the exception of the typical scuffs one might expect for a car of this age. The only places these are present are up front (where every car shows signs of wear from bugs and other road debris), the driver's door, and on the top around the sunroof. I have included close-up pictures of this area but please let me know if you would like to see them from another angle. The interior is probably even cleaner than the outside as everything from the original floor mats to the leather seats appear to be in above average shape for its year. The only noticeable flaws are a crack in the trim piece around the driver's door handle (a close-up is shown, easily replaceable) and a radio display screen that does not work. However, with the heads-up display, you can still see virtually all the information that would normally be displayed on the radio with the exception of the time. I think this car is a gem and it would be very difficult to find a Grand Prix of this generation in much better shape. Please let me know if you would like any further clarification of the vehicle's condition before bidding. A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction via Paypal. Full payment and pick-up is expected within 7 days. Acceptable forms of payment are cash in person upon pick-up or full Paypal payment. If the vehicle is going to be shipped (and the buyer will not be showing up in person) and the buyer wishes not to use Paypal for full payment, a cashier's check or money order will be accepted provided it is sent in advance and given time to clear before the car will be released for pick-up. This vehicle has a clear Ohio title which will be notarized and ready to go upon its sale. Starting price is $2,499.00 There is a reserve. Please do not assume anything and ask any questions you may have before submitting your bid. I will give you a response ASAP. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding! |

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
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.
Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
