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 issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected

Tue, 20 May 2014

General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years

Junkyard Gem: 1968 Pontiac Catalina sedan

Wed, Aug 14 2019

During 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.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Aztek

Tue, Jul 11 2017

Ah, the Pontiac Aztek. Everyone laughs at the Aztek ... except, apparently, for Coloradans who like to go camping, bike riding, hiking, and all that outdoorsy stuff that folks do in the Centennial State. You'll see Azteks being driven, unironically and without shame, all over the place in the Denver region, and now plenty of them are showing up in the local wrecking yards. Here's a first-year-of-production example in its final campground. These minivans or crossovers (or however the experts finally decided to categorize them) had built-in air compressors, audio controls in the rear cargo area, and other features meant to enhance tailgating, camping, and other activities deemed central to Generation X's allegedly active lifestyle. You could even get an optional camping kit with a tent that attached to the rear of the Aztek. So, it was a General Motors minivan-like vehicle, cousin of the weird-looking Dustbusters of the 1990s, with lots of useful features for those who did more than just commute to work and drop off kids at school. Unfortunately for GM, the Aztek was staggeringly ugly, and Generation Xers were too damned broke to buy new cars in 2001, anyway. I see plenty of them in Denver-area wrecking yards now, along with their slightly-less-offensive-looking Buick Rendezvous siblings, and so I decided to document one before they're all gone.
