Used 2000 Pontiac Grand Am Consumer Reviews
2000 Grand Am
Good buy for the money, but now becoming an expense. Driver's widow motor went out 2 years ago, then air conditioner stopped working a little later. Repair estimates came in starting at $800 so I drove around with no air in Atlanta's worst heat in history! The one honest mechanic left in the whole world (Poston Motors, Cumming, GA) bypassed a switch and voila - air! And an oil change: Less than $100.00! Now, dashboard coming apart, both outside mirrors bout to fall off, automatic door buttons & mirror adjustment have fallen through the door panel & yesterday, interior rear view fell off! City mileage: bad, Highway mileage: good Forcing pick-up speed too fast can damage computer.
wasn't perfect ......
When I first bought the car it had a bad pull to the left at speeds over 50 mph. Pontiac said it was torque steer. Took to local chevy dealer where a buddy works and found the left strut was not installed correctly. And Pontiac just blew me off.

Great car, even for families!
This was definitely the car of my dreams! Safety is a definite in this vehicle -- the car has been hit four times in the past two years that I've owned it, however, it's come out in the end looking like a charm and still functioning perfectly -- and occupants sustained only minor injuries. This is remarkable considering that the first accident involved a Ford Explorer hitting the passenger-side between the two doors with their front right fender. $13,000 worth of damage, but easily repaired, and again very little injury to the occupants. Gas mileage is great -- lots of room for lots of people and furry friends (we have two dogs).
I Love My Pontiac Grand Am!!!
I absolutely love my Pontiac Grand Am SE. I have had it for two years now. I have owned several cars and this one is by far my favorite. It has a great look inside and out. It is comfortable on the highway. I haven't had any problems with it whatsoever.
Another Reliable Pontiac! :)
Before buying my 2000 Grand Am, I owned a 1997 Pontiac Sunfire, and even though it was old and a little rough around the edges, it never failed me... even with having 250,000 miles on it! For that reason, I felt secure with purchasing another Pontiac, the Grand Am. I've had this car for 6 months without any major problems. I purchased it from a friend with 170,000 miles. It now has almost 180,000 miles on it, and I have only had to replace a wheel bearing, blower motor for the a/c, and the drive belt, which is expected from a car with that many miles. None of which were expensive at all! They are neat little cars and I plan to keep mine until it dies! Too bad they stopped making Pontiac's...
