This car is a Special Edition, which (to the best of my knowledge) means that it has those awesome hood vents, twin chrome exhaust pipes, and the emblems on the inside doors and on each side of the car.
I am the second owner. I bought the car in Vegas in 2006. This car has only seen 3 Chicago winters. The last two were extremely mild, and during the one prior, I lived a block from work, so she didn't get driven through the salt very often. Who ever owned the car before me loved it, it was in perfect condition when I took it over.
The car is clean. It is nice on the inside and on the outside.
This has been my everyday car, and it's fun to drive. Even though it's a V6, the gas mileage is not that bad (17 city, 28 HW). It comfortably sits 5 people, and there is a pull-down arm rest in the back seat, with key-lock access into the trunk.
This car has not been in any accidents - I have a completely clean/clear title.
That being said, the check engine light is on. I believe it is caused because the engine coolant is leaking. I have no idea why - I don't have time to get that stuff checked out, which is why I'm passing on my baby.
On the dashboard, the supercharger measure is out, and the air conditioner needs a Freon boost.
I have taken all of this in to consideration when deciding on a price (Auto Trader lists this at $4800, KBB lists this car's "Fair Value" at about $4500).
I want this car to find a home with some one who will love her and take care of her.
If you are interested in taking a look, please contact me.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
