Dont buy
I had so many problems with my grand am. The first 20000 miles i put on the car was good then all the sudden the engine went out on me. I had to replace the engine then other things went wrong like the shocks and struts, EGR valve, Exhaust, and the alternator. There are lots of problems with these cars its a car that u have to put money into all the time. I do not recommend this car.
A pretty good car
I bought it new. It had some small problems during warranty period, like the plastic seat belt anchor cover didn't install correctly (just needs to be pushed in), signal lamp socket got higher resistance than normal (one bulb is dimmer than the others) fuel injector wire loose, intake gasket leak, power window express down stopped working, front rotor warpped. All been taken care under warranty. After warranty expires, the things I replaced are battery and CD player. I think both were my fault, I left a the battery on charge and forget all about it. CD player won't take CD in cold weather, so I took it apart, it never worked afterward. The OEM CD player module was made in Japan.
LEMON!!!
Perhaps I just got a raw deal, but my car ran less time than it was in the shop! I spent 1000 dollars in 6 months trying to keep it running!
It's not a bad car for a college student
I just purchased this car for college using, with 112000 miles on it for $2000. It worth the price but I have to change the motor mount which is around $200,side windows(the same problem that all the Grand AM/GT have), seats, water mount( they charge $300 for labor!!!), and worse thing the steering rack(cost $600!!) is getting bad and I have change it soon. But overall its not really bad and can take you to any place you want to go.
Stay Away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stay away from this vehicle. We got the vehicle at about 75,000 miles, in a 3 year period to this date, we've since doubled it. In that period we replaced the tranny twice (2 x $750= $1500), all three motor mounts ($222), thermostat ($75), radiator & fan ($40, I got a hookup), starter ($160), ball joints ($50), alternator ($180), 2 power window motors ($250). For a GRAND TOTAL of about $2500. Now I have a water pump, alternator belt, ball joint, and possibly brake caliper to replace, bringing the GRAND TOTAL to $2800. This car is definitely not worth all of this moolah, so save yourself the trouble and money and avoid this car.
