Please read entire description before bidding.  Vehicle needs engine work.  

What you are looking at here is a 2003 Bonneville SSEi that my mother purchased new from Superior Pontiac in 2003.  Since that time it has always been garaged, oil changed every 3k miles, has always had premium fuel, and has been detailed every year.  This vehicle has always been extremely well maintained.  The paint is original and looks near perfect.  The car has never seen the inside of a body shop.  Has never been in any type of collision.  

The vehicle had an intake leak, and ran low on coolant, and overheated.  After this happened, my mother decided to purchase a new vehicle, and I jumped on the chance to buy this one.  I had the intake manifold re-sealed and the thermostat replaced.  Unfortunately, after this work was performed, the vehicle developed an engine knock on acceleration.  I took it in and had the oil pan removed for inspection.  Sure enough one of the bearings had been damaged (I assume by the excessive heat.)  At minimum, the vehicle will need a new or re-ground crankshaft and one connecting rod, possibly more.  There is currently no engine oil in the engine, and one of the rod baring caps was left off, so it does not run at this time.  

I really hate to sell this car, but I don't have the funds to fix it at this time and don't want to let this beautiful car sit in the sun all summer.  I don't have room in the garage anymore so she has to go.  The front breaks were done just before the car was put out of commission.  The factory replacement battery is about one year old.  The tires are near new michelins with a ton of tread left.  The ABS light was on the last time I drove the car.  I did not have it diagnosed.  

As you can see in the pictures, the car is in spectacular condition in and out.  There is a small wear mark on the edge of the driver's seat.  It is not worn through the leather, just the color.  There are a few small marks around the cup holders from use.  There is no noticeable wear to the steering wheel or radio/hvac buttons.  There are some chips on the front bumper from road debris.  There is a light scuff mark on the rear bumper, and a few little scratches in front of one of the passenger side door handles.  All damage is pictured.  There is no visible wear to any of the carpets or SSEi factory mats.  

The registration has been out since September so there will be a small fee attached.  Likely around $200 but Ill check and add it later.  The title is a clean ca title, in my name, in hand.  

There is no damage to any glass whatsoever.  All of the power options (windows, seats, sunroof, locks,) work as they should.  The a/c and heat functions are auto and work great.  

I have tried to describe this vehicle to the best of my ability.  Please ask any and all questions before bidding.  Contact me through here or  email me at caseyamack1@gmail.com.  If you email me your phone number I will call you to discuss the vehicle.  I would love to show the vehicle before the auction is over if you are local.  I honestly believe that if you see it first, your max bid will go up.  The car books for about $9K (fixed, obviously.)  Check it at kbb.com.

I have never shipped a vehicle before but if you would like to arrange it I will help out in any way I can.  If I think of any more information that may be helpful I will add it.  If you have questions please ask.  

It should go without saying, but please don't bid unless you have the money and are absolutely sure you will purchase the vehicle.  I would like to receive payment within 48 hours of auction close.  I have a paypal account if you would like to use it.  Otherwise, cash is great.  I will accept a check but the vehicle will not be released until the funds clear.  

Thanks for looking.  Happy bidding.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
