A little leak of oil. Some of the seals have gone bad with the humidity and heat in Florida. And the radiator has gone bad a couple times, primarily becaus eof the serious electronics running in the car.

1993 Pontiac Grand Prix LE 3.1

Summary:

A bargain with too many problems

Faults:

The car began overheating when I first got it about a month ago and then the brakes went out in it. Now I am having a problem again with overheating and the water appears to go nowhere, but I have been told that I probably have a cracked head and that is going to mean a lot of money. Also the transmission shifts by itself from overdrive to drive for no apparent reason and the air conditioner only blows part of the time because the blower plug has became stretched out.

General Comments:

While a good bargain for the money I will eventually be without transportation again because too many things are going wrong all at once.

I definitely agree with you. I've also had problems with the engine overheating and things of that nature. what I have noticed is that when I have one problem with the car, another one comes up not too long after. it seems that everything that can go wrong with the car, goes wrong at the wrong times. I recently had new plugs and wires installed in my gran prix and I constantly wonder what will go next. although it is a great running car, when it is running, it does seem to fall apart rather easily whereas finding new body parts isn't.

1993 Pontiac Grand Prix LE 3.1 V6

Summary:

Great Vehicle!!

Faults:

I acquired this car from my parents when they bought a new one. So the car was actually bought in 2000.

Minor, but normal things have gone wrong. Between belts and hoses, they were original when they bought it. About 2002, the belts and hoses were replaced.

Recently the motor mounts went, and the brakes are getting bad.

General Comments:

The car is pretty fast, handles excellent.

The car is getting old, I expect to sell it within a year.

1993 Pontiac Grand Prix SE 3.4 twin DOHC

Summary:

A great, fun to drive, reliable vehicle

Faults:

Air Intake Manifold.

Idle Air Motor.

Oil leaks.

Radiator cracked.

Driver's side window has a short.

Paint is peeling from both sides.

General Comments:

This is my first car and I love it. It has the 3.4l v-6 which has a ton of get up and go. It will get you where you need to go in no time

Overall I think Grand Prix's are great cars. Although it has its problems like the driver's side window, the brakes, the leaky oil, it's still a great car and I'd recommend it to any one who is looking for a quick, reliable, nice, everyday car.
