Used Pontiac Grand Am for Sale in Chicago, IL

The grand am gt is a amazing car for the price. It has great horsepower and steering. It has leather seats and a nice dashboard. The sound systems is truly the best I have heard in a car. There is barley any noise from the road or engine. And it has a nice clear view from the drivers seat. All that was required was regular maintenance. No other repairs were needed. The gas mileage was not amazing but it was well enough that it did not cause a pain.

My Grand AM has been with me for a long time. In fact it was the first vehicle I purchase when I turned 16. I will begin with the negative aspects. This vehicle did build up some rust on the sides of the undercarriage. As many cars age over 15+ years this can be pretty expected. Another major issue was having to deal with windows breaking down and not working electronically. This is pretty normal for an older vehicle however. On the other hand, this vehicle had an amazing engine. It has never caused issue outside of small maintenance needs like spark plugs and managing the fluids. A crazy detail is that the battery lasted for 10+ years without needing replaced. Typically they need replaced by 5 years. Keep in mind I wasn't very mechanically inclined when I was younger so this slipped by me. In terms of comfort the vehicle was made for that with things like having four doors, which is rare for a sports vehicle, and having the best air conditioning I have ever experienced in a used car. The thing has never needed changed or charged since I've owned it and it kicks on faster than newer vehicles.

The 97 Pontiac Grand AM GT is one of my favorite cars that I have ever owned. There are a few different reasons why I feel the way I do about my old Grand AM. The most important one is that the car is extremely reliable, mine has more that 200,000 miles on it and she still runs like a champ. The Grand Am looks like a sports car, and also drives like one, she has good acceleration and is very easy to control. I also like the body style of the car, even though it was built way back in 1997, it still looks much newer in my opinion. When it comes to gas mileage the Grand Am also shines, I between 22 to 26 MPG, which is impressive for a 90's era sports car. There are only a couple things that I don't like about the car, one of them being that the headlights are automatic, so that means there isn't anyway shut them off while the car is running. The other being that the backseat is pretty cramped, and the entire interior of the vehicle is just small in general. Overall, probably my most favorite car that I have ever owned.
