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 recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns

Thu, 15 May 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
