worked great for the first year

1992 Pontiac Grand Am SE 4dr Sedan
I bought this car in march of 2001.
Good thing it had a warranty, because
2 days after I bought it the lifters
went. A oxygen hose sensor also broke,
and just recently (about 3 months ago
it blew a headgasket. This was stemmed
from the car overheating due to two
faulty coolant fans. Luckily I did the
work to this car myself, and saved
myself about $2000.00.
When this … car runs, it runs great, but
if it starts to break down, look out.
It is a very sharp looking car and
turns all the ladies heads, but the
Quad 4 is a total peice of junk!!
This car should have been a total
recall.

Money well spent!

1992 Pontiac Grand Am SE 2dr Coupe
The Pontiac Grand Am is definitely well
worth the money. I bought the Grand Am
in 1992 and anticipated having it for
about 7 years. I have had it for 10
years now and is currently at 126,000
miles. It has been extremely reliable
with only having minor repairs such as
replacing brakes and normal
maintenance.
