Super Rare 1989 Pontiac Grand Prix Turbo Mclaren on 2040-cars

Year:1989 Mileage:4618
Location:

This is a Rare chance to own a car that is hard to find. This is a 1989 Pontiac Grand Prix Turbo Mclaren That still smells like a new car, this car has never seen rain and has been in a covered garage since bought new. I am the second owner of the car and just dont drive or visit it as much as it should be. The car has original Good Year Eagle GTs (which i would replace if your going to make a drivers car) or keep original for collecting. The paint is flawless and the inside smells new I have replaced the battery and Im sure the AC will need to be replaced due to it sitting for 25 years i have cans of r12 that came with the car but if your going to drive daily i would replace with current ac. There were only 750 made in 1989 and only in red and black rarer still is that this one dosent have a sunroof which only 19 were made that way mclaren did so much to the car that I suggest you google it I have a 1990 black turbo grand prix with 55 thousand miles on it that i drive and i bought the red one as a collector but i have no room at the house so its in a climate storate unit down the street. It belongs with someone who has room to collect or someone who wants a 25 year old brand new car that no one has on the road. its still gets 28 miles to the gallon and has every bell and whistle including the first Pontiac HUD (heads up display)... I will be posting more pictures soon but this is a beautiful car... I really dont want to let it go but ... .... please ask any questions

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
