The Supercharged 3.8 Series II engine is very reliable. 100,000 miles and the engine is flawless, but the rest of the car started falling apart. The Supercharger is not a serviceable item, so when the bearing goes out you have to replace the whole thing ($600 rebuild w/ installation). Both front wheel- bearings needed replacing. Power- steering pump went out. All within 10,000 miles of 100k. The car is definitely worth keeping and repairing. The GTP is the only way to go. If you are considering a Grand Prix, only get one w/ a Supercharger (20% more horsepower than the GT, and it shows). Before buying one, listen to the supercharger, if you hear a grind, get it replaced.
Great Car

I bought this car in October 2004 and I am loving it! The power is unmatched, but it feels stable. I've gone through several snowfalls and this car is great! The traction control and ABS work great together. I have the special edition package and it just makes the look of the car even better. I wish I had better fuel economy, but I'm willing to trade it for the power!

I bought this car after having nothing but trucks sinc I was 16. I took one look at this car and it was love at first sight!! It only had about 65k on it and was in mint condition. I love everything about this car except for the rims that come on the special edition package, a minor setback. I have had no problems yet and I hope to not have any either. I love the gas mileage coming from a diesel truck that was getting around 11 mpg Yikes! It will get up and go with the best of them and stay up pretty good. It does govern out at 126 but I don't think that's a prob since I won't be going that fast all the time..

I got this black GTP for free when it was donated to me from a church organization because of my low income and o badly needed a car! It has been one of the greatest gifts of my life and am very grateful and thankful to GOD! It currently has 170500 miles on it and is black with reasonable amounts of rust for a Michigan car. Since I got the car in August 2015 it had had the front brakes, rotors, left wheel bearing, exhaust resonator, power steering line all replaced. However the supercharger belt needs replacing as well as new headlights, possible new supercharger parts, intake gaskets, air filter, AC compressor, and right passenger outer door panel all needs replacing. Other than repairs when the supercharger is going it's pretty quick and keeps up with newer more powerful cars and gets between 24-28 mpg highway and 16-22 city which could be better. One of the best cars ever had!
