He's not saying it cost more because it's in Canada, you dummies, he means he paid in Canadian dollars, so of course it will be much more (numerically) than if it was bought in US dollars.
For you who think that a honda or toyota will be better than a grand prix, you are far mistaken. I had a 96 toyota camry that was an absolute nightmare. Nothing ever worked and the dealer said there was nothing wrong with it. I got rid of that for a 98 honda accord and once again had the same problems. The dealer refused to fix anything that was wrong and also would not acknowledge some of the problems that were wrong saying that they were is spec. I then bought a 99 grand prix gtp in july of 2000. The car has 112,000 miles on and I have not done a damn thing to it. It has been the absolute best car in the world. Well, I had to put a new serp belt on it, but other than that, nothing. I gave the japanese a chance, even though I have been an american car buff, owning several muscle cars, and I must say, I will never buy japanese crap again. Keep the big three going!!! BUY AMERICAN!!!
I just purchased a 40th Anniversary GT here in Florida very clean car and enjoy it completely. Plan to keep it as a collection piece.
Really trying to find out how many were produced?
Thanks Pontiac for a beautiful Car.
Driving Fine in Tampa, Fl.
This is to the guy who made the first post and complained his brains out about his GTP. OK dude... if you don't like it, sell it yourself and stop complaining about stuff you can't fix. I have the 02 GTP 40th Anniversary edition... I have had no problems with it, except for the fact that I can't buy an adaptor that will let me plug my iPod into the factory radio, and the issue with the paint chipping off. But that stuff is very minor. You did get a "lemon" becuase no one else has the same problems as you... so square with it and sell your car and buy your old POS Taurus.
Regarding the Pontiac Grand Prix GTP 40th Edition... does anyone know what to do when the steering wheel leather has lost it's sheen? I just bought one (I got it from Michigan and waited 2 weeks for it) and I am considering a steering wheel cover, but wondering what would be best for the car. BTW I got mine with 50,000 miles for $12,500 and I am totally in love with the car!!! It is all I could ask for and more!
Back to the subject... does anyone have some suggestions to keep it looking new???
OK, look guys, the water on the floor is a common problem, and there is a now well-known and EASY fix for it. There is a drain on the left side of the engine bay near the firewall. I'm not sure about the exact location because this has never been a problem on my car, but I know that its easier to access from under the car. That drain gets clogged, and the water goes into the wheel wells and soaks the carpet. Unclog it an you're good to go.
Go to www.clubgp.com and search the forums for "water on the floor" or something similar, and you'll find detailed instructions on how to clear it out. If you're dealership didn't know about this fix, then they are a bunch of idiots. Which doesn't surprise me since you paid over 40K for your GP.
I just bought a 40th Grand Prix here in Canada with 52,000kms for $10,000 and l just love it. For the guy how wanted to know how many they built, the 4dr gtp is about 2200 of them.
I think it's a good collectors car very sharp looking.
I'm looking to get a 2002 40th grand prix. Yes it is a beautiful car and it is only $8995 for it. Just wanted to say though for $40K my family had bought a 2002 corvette, 2002 Linc LS, and a 2000 Saab 9.5...Think about it. You just plain out got suckered. I don't doubt the dealership knew the car (only your car) was POS. You should have sued the dealer for selling you a lemon you could of gotten your ford and and your stupid import.
I bought my 40th anniversary edition new. It has not been back to the shop for any repairs yet. LOVE IT!! One and only complaint is that the seats are a bit hard. I only have 35,000 miles on it as I am trying to keep the miles down. Think it should become collectible sooner than later. I've seen some 4 doors, but I can honestly say I have yet to see a 2 door on the road in all of this time. BTW, I paid nowhere near $40K for it. Anybody know how many two doors were made?
I just brought the 40th addition..2 door... dam this mug is hot!!! I paid 10,800 wit 64,000 miles... the bishes love it.
My family has a 40th anniversary GT Grand Prix 4-door and we have had so many problems with this car. We bought it in Oklahoma bout 30 miles where we live and we payed $15,988 for it with bout 70,000 miles on it. We bought it in 2005 I believe, about 2 years ago. The catalytic converter has given us problems, as well as the lifters, the electric windows, we have had oil leaks, and all this stuff is minor. And also, when we take it back to the dealer, they fix the window and put it together wrong so it rattles, but my dad won't fix it because he doesn't wanna void the warranty. We have had outward dents, and when the lifters make that noise and we take it to the dealer, they say that they can't hear anything... which is complete BS. The car isn't a lemon, I just think it needs a good tune-up is all. thanks guys
Peace.
I have had a 2002 GTP for a few years, and have not had major issues. Quite the bashing without even knowing about Clubgp. Your resentments could have been eased by simply searching grand prix clubs... I did and fixed everything that has broken easily... including my sock soaking floor... ;)
This guy is completely right!! 40th ANNIVERSARY POS!!! I bought my 40th edition GTP back in 03/05 with 12000 miles on it and since I've had it I've done nothing but baby it!! I took excellent care of my car but everything has messed up from the heated seats malfunctioning and burnin my ass to the iginition switch going out three separate times in a three month period to the hollogram spedometer thingy trippin out!! And a whole lot other stuff too like the fuel pump, starter, suspension... EVERYTHING ON THE CAR!!! I even had the gear shifter assembly rod go out and GM doesn't even stock this part 'CUZ IT NEVER GOES OUT'...I had to wait 3 weeks for someone in who knows where to manufacture the part!!! Hey come to think about it... maybe they re-sold his lemon and I got it!!! My car currently has another $5500 worth of work that needs to be done on it ($4700 of it warranty work) but GM has now denied my claim cuz I've already had $9000 worth of work done in the past 2.5 years! Soooo does anyone wanna buy my car?? Im trying to sell it!! :) lol.
I have a 2002 40th Anniversary Grand Prix GTP Sedan. I haven't had any major problems with it. It looks great, runs great and I look good in it. Matter of fact I own two Grand Prixs. I love these cars.
How many 40th anniversary's were made?
