Used 1999 Pontiac Grand Am for Sale near Baldwin Park, CA

Nice, quick affordable American 2 door. Gets mid 20's gas mileage. Once they get near 150k miles though they tend to have problems with power steering and heating or cooling systems along with window problems. This is a great starter car for someone.

problems with lights blowing,shorting out,engine light allways comes on its an all around headache

the Pontiac grand am is a car the get you where you need to be. It's peepy, and handles fairly well, wind nose is to a minimum. The car is soon to be a classic due to the company Pontiac now being defunct.

What did you like or dislike abougreat first car, it was bought for me as a graduation present at 88,000 miles. I can say it's only left me stranded once in 2 and a half years, and that wasn't even due to an engine failure (the lock cylinder needed to be replaced in the ignition switch). Love the sporty look it has to it, people always have to ask me if it's a 4 or 6 cylinder because of how much power it seems to have. No dipstick for trans fluid? That forces you to take it to a shop, get it put on a lift and have it checked. No bueno. The little things on the inside seem to come off easily (i.e; ceiling liner is starting to fall of, front passenger seat buckle fell off, passenger mirror cover broke off with minimal effort, backseat cup holders broke off) most after market accessories do not fit this car. Driver side mirror was replaced, but the wire that was supposed to run through to inside the car and through a hold wouldn't fit. I was the 3rd (4th if you want to be technical) owner on this vehicle, and I do not believe it was ever properly taken care of before I got to it. This last June when I went to get the high beam on the driver's side replaced, someone had literally taped it on with blue electrical tape instead of the proper piece that's supposed to hold it in place. When I got it, it already had an ABS light on the dashboard, and ended up having a misfire 2 weeks after I started driving it. Also, the security system started preventing me from starting up the car for 10 minutes. It was good for a long time after those initial problems were taken care of. Until about a month ago, and this all seemed to happen at once; the dashboard lights started going haywire and would only come on when they felt like it, and would sometimes turn back off. This, oddly enough, has since stopped. Highly suspicious that there is a TPS failure, as it shuts off when it falls below 1000 RPMs, especially taking sharp turns letting my foot off the gas. Heat exchange valve leak, oil pan puncture/leak, and I think there may be the beginning of a power steering problem as it seems harder to turn (checked fluid, it's still 3/4 full) I think the problem is that the only parts that are really available for the engine are aftermarket, since Pontiacs are no longer being manufactured, so that leaves us with getting aftermarket things that may or may not last. All in all, it's great for a first car but be sure you have a mechanic in the family that is preferably not in their 60's and understands that newer cars need much more than lube, oil and filter!

bad gas miliage, two doors does not work well for hunting, really small and not enough room, j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
