Used Pontiac Grand Am for Sale

I think this car is a good car especially for a small family. It has decent gas mileage and is easily maintained.

In general, this car has had problem after problem after it hit roughly 100k miles. Not only has the interior fallen apart the engine has trouble staying cool, and the model is notorious for having problems overheating. I needed the head gaskets replaced after replacing the radiator and water pump did not solve the overheating problem. Constant AC problems took a couple of years to fix, and the car is still not trustworthy on drives longer than 40 minutes.

I've had the Grand AM for a long time now. I don't commute very much but the car is up to around 140,000 and for it's life span the engine is still in decent shape. Over the years I've replaced many parts and pieces though; gas tank, converter, lost an ignition coil the other year and that had me out of shape for a while but that is all to be expected with time. For it's time in my hands it has done average in my opinion.
