When I bought the car at 78,000 miles it needed:
A new exhaust system ($227.44).
A new power antenna ($84.00).
A new center console lid ($70.00).
Sanding and repainting of the aluminum outer ring of the wheels ($40.00).
The exhaust system was all rusted out and there were holes in the mufflers. The left dual exhaust tip was hanging off.
The antenna was broken in the upward position.
The center console lid latch was broken off completely.
The outer clear-coated ring of the aluminum wheels was bubbled and pitting. I had to sand them down and repaint them. The wheels now look better than what they looked like when they came out of the factory.
Pros:
I have the 1995 Special Edition package with all the goodies.
It's in absolute outstanding condition, people think it's been garaged since '95. The paint looks brand new. It stands out in traffic.
It's bright shiny red and very sporty looking, I get many compliments from friends and people I don't know.
Even with 81,800 miles, it still runs like it just drove off the lot.
Meaner, more aggressive looking than the new '97-'02 Pontiac Grand Prix's.
The only reason people have problems with this car is because they don't know how to take care of it.
Beautiful interior, with a very nice dash and bucket seats.
Very healthy, deep sounding exhaust rumble.
The 3.1 L SFI V6 engine is easy on gas.
Cons:
Ticket machine.
Door mounted seat belts.
Powerful, but not as powerful as the GTP.
Severely limited selection of after market performance parts.
If anyone knows where I can get custom fit high flow exhausts, intakes or any thing having to do with the performance area of the '95 Grand Prix SE please e-mail me at wiseshogun2x@hotmail.com
I'm no one important, just making a good comment about the 95 Pontiac Grand Prix 2D Coupe. My first car that I bought is the Grand Prix 2d coupe in Jan 2003 and I run superbly and I believe it looks sharper than the new Grand Prix. The interior look and the feel of driving it reminds me of when my dad had an 1982 Trans Am.
I just bought a 95 se today. Red. Man am I ever glad I didn't buy that Grand Am. This car has the best freakin brakes. I'm really (hehe) happy right now, Thinkin where to go this weekend-
The 95 Grand Prix SE is great. I have the the one with the sports package and have almost 150000 miles on it, but it still runs great.
I recently bought a 95 Grand Prix GTP, but its the 4 door model. It has the 215 bhp 3.4L DOHC V6. I understand that this is somewhat uncommon in that model. All it needs is the spoiler. Unfortunatley, the car is white. It still looks good, and is mint. Has anyone had a problem with a transaxle leak in theirs??
Well I have a 95 Grand Prix SE. It is red and so far I have about 133,000 miles on it. It has a 3100 SFI V6.I have had a few problems with it like the intake gaskets needed replaced. And a radiator hose leaking, but it didn't take much to fix the car. These cars do have a little get up and go. I wanna put a ram air system on it. The interior is really nice. Although the person who owned the car before me WELL his niece sideswiped a grain truck on a gravel road and it messed up the molding a little bit on the drivers side. But I will be replacing that soon. Another disadvantage is the pricing on the molding. If you ever go to a body shop and get an estimate on the molding your eyes will pop out of your head because it isn't cheap. All in all though they are nice cars and can take you fast enough to get a ticket.
I am 17. I have had three GPs; two of them 95. I also had a 93. It was a five speed. It had the 3.4 DOHC. It would get and go.
I like the look of the 95 better, but the head lights suck. The 3.1 is more reliable and has more compression.
My brother wrecked one of my 95s and bought a 98se, and I sold him the motor and it's still running strong.
So if you have a problem with your car, fix it, they are very good cars and they will do you right.
