General comments?
Love the car, got a great kick to it. but it has cost a lot in repairs. Paid 2500$ for it when I got it. But with the minimum amount of maintenance it got it is understandable. ever mechanic that has seen this car has offered to buy it because the motor runs so good, and has a very good reputation. Most of the above work was done in the shop at how by my dad who is a mechanic himself so it cost a lot less than it should have. all in all, I'd buy an other Pontiac anytime. actually, my next car is to be a 2002 grand prix gtp.
