Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This vehicle is in excellent condition. It is a rare, special-edition car. It is great for a collector or someone who just wants a really cool everyday car. This vehicle has just passed both Maryland and Delaware state inspection and emissions tests. This vehicle is street ready and needs no work at all."

This listing is for a super-rare Ram Air GT edition Pontiac Grand Am. The year is 2004. It has very low mileage for its age. I do not have any photos of the interior included in this auction at the moment, but it is in perfect condition just like the rest of the car. This car is so rare, there is not even a Blue Book value for it. If you check the Blue Book sites, Ram Air and ENKEI rims are not even options.

I based the asking price on the Blue Book retail price for a Grand Am GT of this year and mileage plus an approximately 30% markup for the rarity of the options. I am open to offers, but given the rare value of this car, I am not willing to sell it cheap or at what you would call a wholesale price. Wholesalers, marketers, and scammers; please don't waste your time or mine by trying to contact me about this.

The engine is a GM 3400 (3.4L) just like what would be found in a police-model Impala. These motors are known for longevity. They use a timing chain rather than a timing belt for the overhead cams, so the motor is basically maintenance free. At the vehicle's current mileage, it is just now getting broken in and has much life ahead of it. I encourage you to search this fact online. In addition to having the famous Impala motor, this special edition car has the forced-induction Ram Air system which gives the 3400 motor more power than would be found in even the police cars.

This vehicle is in perfect, all-original condition. The only "modification" is the K&N air filter (which really isn't even a modification). The bright-red paint is all-original. It is a little dull on the hard-edges on the front end, but this is natural wind-burn on a car like this. I decided that it would have better value with the paint being all original rather than repainting the very-minor fading on the front edges (which probably cannot even be seen in the photos or from a distance of a few feet or more when looking at it in person).

The last year for the Grand Am was 2005. While Pontiac did offer the Ram Air option in previous years, it was nothing like the ones made in 2004 and 2005. These late-model Ram Air GT's featured a aggressive body style with hood scoops, race-style front air-dam (bumper cover), Ferrari-style side louvers, and a spoiler. This is a very powerful and fast car, but also offers all the conveniences of any sport-sedan. The Grand Am was really the first ever sport-sedan to be offered on the modern American market.

There is no grill on the front of the vehicle, instead the Ram Air scoops exist in this location. This is the reason for the custom-styled front air-dam which has a lower front-spoiler that directs air up and into the radiator.

Everything in the vehicle is in top-notch working condition. I just had this vehicle shipped up from the south-west, so it has never even seen snow or road salt. Under the hood, you will see that it is probably the cleanest used car that you have ever seen.

The rims are made by ENKEI (an American manufacturer of premium alloy wheels). Some of the photos show the vehicle without hubcaps, all of the original ENKEI hubcaps are included. The ENKEI name and GM logo are cast into every wheel so that you know that they are authentic.

I have not taken photos of the interior yet, but it is just as clean as the rest of the vehicle. The color is tan. I will gladly provide photos of the interior if you would like to send a message and ask.

The only option for payment and pickup is payment up-front and pickup at my home. The buyer is responsible for arranging shipping if desired and must send cleared/certified payment prior to pickup.

If the buyer is a Maryland or Delaware resident, we will renew the inspection form so that you are ready to register the vehicle.

There are no mechanical problems whatsoever. The only minor issue is that the tires do not match from front to back. The rear tires are brand new Cooper Dorals and the front are Hankook with approximately 1/2-3/4 tread life remaining.

Feel free to contact me through eBay messages with any questions (solicitations and scams will immediately be reported to eBay).

Test drives are only available with payment in hand (my hand). Me holding your payment is not an obligation for you to buy, just my way of protecting my own investment.

Thank you for stopping to check out this vehicle! We appreciate your business. Please check out our eBay store for automotive parts and hardware that you may also be interested (this vehicle obviously does not need any of it). Thanks!

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.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]

Fri, 26 Aug 2011

You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.

Saturn Vue ignition switch leads to new group of GM recalls totaling 312k

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

General Motors has another spate of recalls to announce. This time they cover 312,280 vehicles worldwide, including 269,041 of in the US, in a total of six campaigns. In 2014, the automaker has recalled 29,079,765 vehicles worldwide, with 25,754,356 of those in the US.
The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.
Next is 72,826 models worldwide (48,059 vehicles in the US) of the 2013 Cadillac ATS four-door sedan, 2013 Buick Encore and 2013 Chevy Trax in Canada. It's possible that the for lap belt pretensioner to retract but not to lock, which could increase occupant movement during a crash. Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.
