Carmax has offered me $7000.00 for this car, and in 72 hours I will be selling this car to them unless someone offers more. You are bidding on a 2006 Pontiac Solstice in concept colors. The Pontiac Solstice was first seen at the 2002 Auto Show and the brought to life in 2006, designed by Bob Lutz, the same man who designed the BMW 3 series, Dodge Viper and the Plymouth Prowler. The Pontiac Solstice is the only car to have all of its exterior body panels hydroformed, meaning all the curves of the body panels were formed with water. The car is registered in my father's name and has a clean New York state title. Car is paid off with title in hand. The car was just clay bar and waxed for the next owner. As of today it has 40,096 miles on it, Keep in mind it is still driven from day to day, so it may have a couple of hundred more when it is picked up. Less then 40,600 guaranteed. Car also has a 5 speed Manual transmission. I bought the car on April 28 2011 and have had only synthetic oil changes done on the car and performed all routine and needed maintenance. Car is 110% mechanically sound, you can drive it anywhere. I'm also willing to bring it to your mechanic or dealership to have it looked over, if they are local to the Sacramento area. The car is in fantastic shape inside and outside. It is in the concept colors of Grey Steel and two tone leather interior. It has premium 18 inch wheels, 6 CD in dash changer, an XM antenna added to trunk, power windows and power locks. It shows minor scuffs and minor scratches. The gap in between the bumper and the fenders is a little greater because of a parking block mishap, but not really noticeable. The flip out passenger side cup holder is broken and stuck in. The top has a tiny "slit" in it only an inch long, It was patched with a very thin line of clear waterproof sealant. The car has been through many, many cars washes since it was patched with no problems or leaking. The front bumper has scratches underneath it. I parked too close to a parking block and backed up over it. Some scuffs and missing 2 small clips.  The car at one point was also improperly put on a lift and lifted. Leaving small divots on the bottom of each of the front fenders. Afterwards, the passenger side fender was hitting the door seam so there is a small paint chip on the passenger door where it meets the fender. The fender has been put back in place and does not hit the door anymore. The car also has the "ABS" light on, due to the driver side back sensor being "bad/broken". I never replaced it, having a small roadster without abs never bothered me. The keyless entry remotes do not work. A dealership has told me that it needs new remotes. The back passenger side wheel shows some very minor cosmetic damage (please see photos) and the front passenger wheel has very minor scuff. FYI the car has been smoked in, on and off. Seeking $9,000.00, best offers will be considered. The only reason I am selling this car is because I'm moving across the country, if not for that it wouldn't be for sale or for this price. All buyers can arrange to come see the car in person before bidding if they would like. The car is located in the downtown Sacramento area. Winning bidder must pay a $500 deposit within 48 hours and the rest on pick up. Delivery might be able to be arranged, please message me before bidding. I will ship anywhere, as long as the full cost is paid for by the buyer as well as the shipping arrangements made by them as well. Questions call Chris 6465849739

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs

Thu, Aug 20 2015

General 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.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Firebird

Sat, May 9 2020

From 1967 through 2002, the Pontiac Division offered the Firebird, close sibling to the Chevrolet Camaro. By the third generation, which debuted for the 1982 model year, it became more difficult to tell the two F-body cars apart at a glance and the Pontiac-exclusive engines of the earlier years disappeared, but the Firebird still retained its own personality and its own position in the GM marketing hierarchy. I still find the occasional 1982-1992 Camaro as I search car graveyards for interesting stuff, but the corresponding Firebirds have become scarce in recent years. Here's a base-engine-equipped '87, its Bright Red paint (yes, that was the official name for the color) faded by the Colorado sun as it awaits the crusher. Firebird shoppers had their choice of three engines in 1987: A 5.7-liter Chevy V8 (210 hp), a 5.0-liter Chevy V8 (205 hp) and the same 2.8-liter 60° V6 that went into the Fiero and countless front-drive GM sedans (135 hp). This car has the base engine. The third-gen F-body didn't weigh much (3,105 pounds for the '87 with six-banger, about what a 2020 Corolla weighs), so 135 horses was tolerable. Plenty of these cars got T-5 5-speed manual transmissions, but this one got the two-pedal setup. Camaro wheels, of course. Our Friend the Carburetor didn't disappear from new cars until the early 1990s in the United States, though electronic fuel injection had become very commonplace by 1987. Still, GM considered this car's EFI worth a door-handle brag. It's not worth fixing up a mashed six-cylinder third-gen Firebird, so we can see the route this car took to its final parking space.
