1999 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"More car than I bargained for"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has been a very good car to me, but a few things have gone wrong, which I know are regular maintenance.
At 1535000, the tie rods went out. Thankfully I was at the dealership when it happened, that was $300.
Then a few months after that, the blower motor went out due to water in motor area, and the resistor went out, as well as the battery, which all ran me $360.
Just for the record, me and cars do not get along.
General comments?
Other than that, the car is wonderful. I have paced the trunk full and back seat full of wood, and it never bogs down.
