Used Pontiac Grand Prix for Sale

Buying a used car, you never can be certain what you're going to get. Sure, they have maintenance logs and a great driving record, but things beyond that come into play. I purchase this Pontiac from my banker, of all people. The only other car I had owned was a 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis, so I wanted something with an updated "feel" so to speak. Well, I certainly found it. With its windshield projected display, driver information panel, sun roof and heated leather seats, I was certain I had finally found what I was looking for. Seating for five and an enormous trunk in this sedan leave you plenty of room for anybody and any thing you could ever wish to take with you. Possibly the greatest test of this car was my spontaneous 1700 mile trip across several states and though mountains for an audition. It had no trouble at all keeping up with traffic on the interstates, nor with maintaining speed through the mountains. A true testament to the reliability of a Grand Prix, considering it had 127,000 miles logged already when I purchased it. And that spacious trunk I mentioned? The back seats conveniently fold down to make a perfect sleeping area nearly the size of a twin bed! That sure saved me a lot on hotel expenses.

This is my third Pontiac Grand Prix and like the rest, this has been a good car. It has a reliable 3800 V6 engine that if taken care of can go well over 200,000 miles. The gas mileage isn't the greatest, especially in the city were it's rating is 16-24 MPG or so. Have not had anything major go wrong while I have owned it. It turned over 100,000 miles recently, and the biggest issue I had was coolant lines to my transmission were leaking. It does get pretty good mileage on the highway, where I have gotten 32 MPG driving to Nebraska frequently. The leather bucket seats are comfortable and the sun roof still works with no leaking. Has a good sound system and the built-in Sirius XM radio is a plus too. Overall this is a very reliable car as long as you do its routine maintenance. One of the best features is the seat warmers. That leather can get cold this time of year and the seat warmers work great.

I am a big fan of my Grand Prix. I bought it in 2014 for $4,500, and it had just under 100,000 miles on it. Over the course of four years, I have ran it very hard, with the odometer now reading 198,000. I've had no major issues with the car internally or with the exterior. I had to replace a coolant line a year after I bought it, and I've had a very slow antifreeze leak ever since, but it isn't an issue at all. The interior is black cloth, and it's been through hell and still looks good after a good cleaning. The black trim around the windows did peel away though, and the metal underneath has begun to rust slightly, but that doesn't bother me for a 12-year-old car, and it is not a hard fix. Performance wise, I average about 26mpg every week, and the car definitely has some ability to "get up and go". Overall, great car for me.
