Really good starter car

I bought this car with 194,000 miles and now it has 218,450 miles. The radio and back right window motor was replaced around 100,000 miles. Car runs smooth and it starts pretty good in cold conditions. One problem I have had while owning it is the dash rattling. Whenever this car goes up my driveway which is dirt here in virginia, everything starts to rattle. this car is in almost perfect condition.

I bought my Pontiac Grand Prix safetied almost a year ago at 246xxx kms. I’ve had a couple issues since Including the elbow hose under the hood which was causing it to spray coolant out and my car would overheat. Got that fixed and since then I’ve only had to replace a wheel bearing and my gas line. It’s been very reliable and surprisingly good on gas. Something to look out for on these cars is the transmissions. On the base model (which I have) they are better, but I’m at 274xxx kms right now and my engine has been on and off starting to clunk for the past 20k......also is doing this thing when I reach around 80mph is starts rocking back and forth and almost seems like it’s bogging, but after accelerating a little it stops. It’s very easy to fix things on these cars, and I’d say they’re good starter cars.

The looks of this car is what sold me. Beautifal car. I was looking at an 2002 Trans Am, but couldn't find one in good enough shape for the price. Bad things - at 40,000 intermediate steering shaft needed replaced, I guess this is standard as I have seen it many times in other reviews. Leaks from either the windsheild seal or from the antena are common. Water comes through the front dome light, luckily right into the cup holder. Brakes have become horrible, pads are at half wear and squeel noticeably loud, probably due to the drilled rotors. Significant rattle coming from the undercarriage, maybe exhaust? Only happens when in 'Drive', shift to neutral and the noise disappears.
My favorite car.

I got a 2006 Grand Prix as my very first car, it was used.From the moment I started to drive the car I loved it. I never had any problems with it, as I did keep up with care on it. Nothing out of the ordinary happened with it, it was always a great car, specially the night it saved my life, and 3 other peoples. That night the tires slid on ice. We slid straight into a guard rail on the drivers side in the middle between the doors. Then flipped over the guard rail and flipped twice. The car took the impact like a champ, and saved our lives all 4 of us walked away. The car did it's job & protected me and my passengers. This car was nothing but great.
Enjoy your GTP

Handling is excellent, the styling is most attractive particularly from the side and front/three quarter views, I love the rush of power in the midrange when you feel the superchargercut in... it really is a fun car to drive.
