1990 GP SE 314k and counting

1990 Pontiac Grand Prix SE 2dr Coupe
Originally purchased with 132,000 -
currently has 314,817 miles. Its on its
2nd water pump! The original got me to
313,000. Have replaced the IAC Valve,
Alternator, BRAKES,Got 150k on my last
set of tires. Its a tight car.
Excellent road car unless you are a
passenger. Car has the console mounted
compass. My tip is to use Synthetic
motor oil and the BEST filter you can …
get. I change the oil every 6k miles,
but once went 16k. Had one wheel
bearing replaced. Overall a great car.

1990 Pontiac Grand Prix LE 2dr Coupe
I have put 234,200 miles on my Grand
Prix and I should have been able to
put more on but I sheared number 1
spark plug and I think it is over.
This car has been unbelievable. I
bought it
with 6 miles on the odometer. She
tended to burn through alternators but
here is the list of stuff still on her
from Detroit - radiator, water pump,
entire exhaust system, front …
shocks/struts, transmission, all light
bulbs except one (side marker - this
fact never stops amazing me), all
gaskets (did have to replace coolant
return once), electric fans, spark
plugs wires, A/C works like new, there
is still just so much that is original
equipment.

1990 Pontiac Grand Prix LE 2dr Coupe
I bought this car from my dad. It had been his company car. Then I used it in college. Then my sister used it. Then it sat for 2 years. Finally, I bought it, put a new battery in it, changed the tires, and have driven it just about every day since. It is great in warm or cold weather, handles well, gets good gas mileage, and just runs like crazy.

1990 Pontiac Grand Prix Turbo 2dr Coupe
I have owned two of these cars and both of them performed beautifully. With tons of interior comforts including: steering wheel radio controls, 4 leather bucket seats, heads up windsheild display. This vehicle was definitely well ahead of its time.
