2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP review from North America
"A Powerful, Lovely, LEMON"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wheel bearings @ 63K, Fuel Pump @ 56K, Fuel Sending Unit @ 56K, Battery @ 56K, PCM @ 65K, EVAP sytem Solenoid @ 65K, Been towed twice (56K, and 65K), left me stranded three times (55K, and at 65K twice). Dealer service is horrible. Nothing is EVER their fault.
General comments?
It is quick, luxurious, and nice to look at; but get in to drive, and it is a ticking time bomb, just waiting to break down on you. In 6 months, it has been in the GM dealer 8 times. I love the power and looks, but it is not worth it. I paid $11,000 for this car, and have it has already cost some $1800 to repair in 6 months. I would not recommend this vehicle to someone with a limited budget.
