1998 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2 5 speed manual coupe for sale. The car has just under 131,710 miles.
I (my mom was on the loan) purchased this car in 2000 when it was turned in off a lease. A lady in WI had it before me. The car had 13,000 miles when I got it. I purchased the car from my mom in 2004ish (to remove her name from the title). I've had this car in MN and WA when I was stationed there from 2003-2006. The Sunfire was my daily driver up till two years ago. The Sunfire has not been driven a lot since then, with the exception of an occasional longer highway drive. The car runs fine on the road. Gas mileage is around 30-32 or so. The car accelerates to highway speed with no issue. Turning is easy and aided by the front strut bar. Minor accident history: Someone backed into the rear driver fender in 2000 Someone backed into the rear driver fender in 2007. Body repair performed at Viking in Roch. Someone drove into the front driver fender in 2013. The fender is damaged and a replacement fender is included with the car. The hubcaps need replacing. The car was never totaled. Mechanical issues: There is a clicking sound and slight vibration when the car is in gear and not accelerating. I'm not sure what this is and my mechanic said it was coming from the transmission but was not something to warrant dropping the transmission to investigate. This issue does not effect the performance of the car. Air leak in hydrolic clutch line. This causes the clutch peddle to have less resistance. My mechanic places a vacuum On the line for 30 minutes once a year to suck the air bubbles out and make the clutch peddle work like normal. This is a $30 yearly repair. The like should be replaced when the clutch is replaced or transmission is eventually removed. AC does not work, the compressor is bad. An AC recharge can lasts about a day. Light switch is sensitive. The lights can turn off if the rotatory selector is not set all the way. Running lights are not effected. The lights work best when driven with High Beams. The bulbs are a blue hue light and not the factory yellow light. Factory horn disconnected and airborne was used. Air horn relay or compressor went bad ($40 eBay item). Check engine light is on from the radiator fan pulling too much current. My mechanic said replace it once summer's heat hits. Front tires are fine and were replaced a year and a half ago. Rear tires are getting a little low of tread. The muffler is starting to sound loud. I think there is a crack along the bottom of it. The car sounds a little better this way, but it's not annoying like some Honda exhausts can be. Interior: Stereo: this car had a few thumping stereo systems over the years. There is currently a Pioneer 7" LCD CD screen that i have used since 2001. There is an input box in the glove box. I had a PS3 and iPhone cable as my sources (PS3 and iPhone are not included). You can connect any device you wish using RCA audio and composite video. The door speakers and rear dash speakers have been removed. Included with the car is a a pair of pioneer coaxial speakers and a pair of dual coaxial speakers. The amp wires were removed. There is dynamat extreme on the door panels and in the trunk. The factory CD player is included but not installed. Interior panels show signs of age. There are holes in the door panels where speakers used to be located. Door panels are attacked to the doors with screws and not the factory push clips. Driver's seat belt retracting mechanism is worn out. There is a worn spot in the carpet in front of the driver's seat. This spot is from my left boot heal. The car could use a good shampooing if you want it real clean. Exterior: There is a new primed OEM driver side front fender in the trunk. The car has delamination of the clear coat on the front of the car. The hood needs body work or replacement. The bumper has delamination. The hub caps could use replacing if you want them to look nice. There are a few dings and scratches around the car. Past Maintenance: New battery last month (Napa battery) The car was nearly completely free of maintenance issues up untill 120k miles. Pre-120k the car needed batteries, tires, etc.. I replaced the alternator when I pulled the amps out. New brakes and rotors about 4k miles ago. New braces for the exhaust, new exhaust boot and mounts, new driver side strut, and I think a control arm were installed last summer. The car had a can of SeaFoam added to the gas, and ran through the engine, before sitting for much of the last two winters. All in all, this car is also a good option for someone needing a economical car. This car is a good car to learn how to drive a stick on, and for someone that wants to work on a car and learn about stereos. License Plates Yes, you can keep the GWOT license plates. Those are Global War on Terrorism - Expeditionary plates. I served on the USS Nimitz in 2003 and we were off the coast of Iraq launching jets to blow stuff up and jam communications. You will need different plates if you do not have a GWOT-E medal from military service. Contact me if you want more pictures.The Sunfire is in north Rochester MN. Misc: I have the full service manuals and another smaller manual for the car. These manuals will provide step-by-step instruction on how to remove, disassemble, reassemble and install any part. These are very similar to the Illustrated Parts Breakdown and Service Manuals that are used by the military. Payment & Transfer I have the title in hand and will hand to you with the keys after you pay with PayPal. I offer no warranty on this car. This is a list of all the mechanical issues as best as I know them without prejudice. This car is As-Is and the sale is final. |

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.
Jay Leno tries out a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that looks factory fresh
Tue, Jan 31 2017The latest machine to show up on Jay Leno's Garage is arguably the most iconic Pontiac GTO, the 1970 Judge. The example here is a radically red model and features all of the nifty Judge features, such as the mega-size rear wing, hood-mounted tachometer, and ram air hood scoop. The latter of which had a panel in the hood that would open up at full throttle to let in all that cool air from outside. The car is owned by the Wade Kawasaki, president of Coker Tires, a company that specializes in reproducing classic tires. Not surprisingly, his GTO features a set of the company's Firestone Wide Oval tires. That particular tire would have come with the car originally, but these new versions are built like modern radial tires, rather than the slippery bias-ply originals. The tires are indicative of how Kawasaki restored the rest of his Judge. Everything has been taken back to factory-spec. It has a stock, 400-cubic inch V8 that makes a supposedly underrated 366 horsepower, and it's complete with the chrome valve covers and foam intake seal. The tires are accompanied by exact replica GTO Judge wheels. The car even has the true, original interior. Somehow, the upholstery, dash, and other interior components survived in excellent condition. Check out the video above for more details on this flashy muscle car, as well as some reminiscing about the "good ol' days," and some history on the origins of the car's name. Related Video:
Celebrate the summer solstice by building the Pontiac Solstice shooting brake GM never did
Fri, Jun 21 2019Happy summer solstice, everyone! To celebrate, we have a particularly unusual eBay find connected to the Pontiac Solstice sports car. A seller has leftover inventory of fiberglass hardtops designed to turn the Pontiac Solstice roadster into a shooting brake. The seller says they came from a since-closed Indiana company, and they're clearly inspired by another aftermarket part and even a GM concept that never saw the light of day. We'll start from the beginning: the stillborn Chevy Nomad concept. It was a concept that came out about the same time as the original Solstice concept, and it was clearly based on the same platform, featuring a small two-door body and a long nose. It also had unashamedly retro Nomad wagon design cues and cues from the original Corvette. The car never saw production, but clearly people were interested in having a wagon-like sports car. That brings us to the next bit of history with an aftermarket hardtop developed by German company EDAG. We saw a prototype in person, and the overall shape seemed to fit the car — and the wraparound window design certainly seemed Nomadic. Besides the unique look, the hardtop and its functional hatch made the Solstice roadster's miniscule cargo space far more usable. It doesn't appear many of the tops were sold, though. These tops on eBay look very similar to the EDAG tops, though it's not clear if they're a direct replica or something similar. Being that the parts are leftover inventory, the seller notes that some of the tops may be missing pieces for installation, so only those who are handy with bodywork and fasteners, or who are able to lean on someone who is, need apply. Even with some extra work, if you really want a Solstice shooting brake, this is likely easier and cheaper than commissioning a shop to custom-build a roof for your. If you're interested, check out the link. They're $499.99 apiece, and the seller will also provide a set of seals and gaskets for the top for an extra $125.
