Hello! For sale is a silver 1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE sedan. I have owned this car for about 7 years with no issues until a few months ago. Some information you'll want to know: 

# The battery is only about 2 years old, but the car hasn't been started daily since I took it off of the road. Life happens! It needs at least a jump, or at most a new battery to get running again. If not, you'll have to tow it...sorry :( 

# When it is up and running, the cabin gets VERY loud - deafening. Either a muffler or maybe something exhaust resonator related? I don't know, I'm not a car guy...but it does sound awful. This is why I took it off the road. 

# The windshield is cracked along the bottom. The hood latch broke, and the hood came up while I was driving and smacked the windshield. Windshield has some cracks but it doesn't leak, and it withstood quite a few inches of heavy ice and snow accumulation this winter with no problems. The hood is currently held in place by bungee cables. 

# Since the battery is currently dead, I can't see the electronic odometer. It's definitely in the ballpark of about 200,000 miles though, either just barely before or just after. 

I'll be the first to admit that the car isn't pretty, but it was my baby for a long time. The hood is jacked up, the front bumper is cracked good, the front of it is straight-up ugly. If you're concerned, a new hood and a Le Bra will make it look worlds better than it does now.

All or most of its service receipts are in the glove compartment, it always had regular oil changes and the tires weren't even a year old when I took it off the road. They still have plenty of tread!

The car is very clean on the inside and out and has barely any rust. No funny smells in the cabin, upholstery looks great, and it even comes with some faux leather seat covers. Once the muffler/exhaust issue is fixed, it will be the comfortable, powerful ride I always knew it to be. I hope someone will enjoy this car as much as I have :)

Looking for only about $800, to cover a successful listing fee on eBay and taking into account the age, mileage, and general ugliness of the car. Also, I know it is inconvenient to have to tow it away or get a new battery for it if you have to.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
