1995 Pontiac Grand Prix SE 3.1 liter V6 from North America

Summary:

Can't wait to try it out at my Uncle Don's Racetrack!

Faults:

So far the 1995 Grand Prix has been good to me, as well as I have been good to the Grand Prix! This car is in excellent condition considering the miles and that it was in a light crash before I got it. It has plenty of power, the transmission is a little sluggish in 1st and 2nd, after that you're in race gear!

But the 1994 Grand Prix I owned was an excellent car, has very high miles, had to replace the 440 automatic transmission after 1 week of ownership, but still a excellent running car, just have major problems with the brakes - I was going through brakes every 3 months and also had a rotor disappear once!

General Comments:

1994 Grand Prix SE: Overall an excellent car, had the wiring to go bad in the transmission and caused the transmission to go bad from my neglect.

Had nightmares over my brakes, I bought new rotors and calipers for all 4 wheels and still went through brakes every 3 months.

The car has about 210,000 miles and still runs great with plenty of power and lots of comfort.

1995 Grand Prix SE: A wonderful car. This car is awesome like the 1994. I own this car, it also has a 3.1 V-6 engine with a 440 automatic transmission, both with the 2nd gear start feature. This car has a lot less miles, only has about 107,000, runs great so far, no problems!

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

1995 Pontiac Grand Prix SE 3.1 from North America

Summary:

Cheap and nice car

Faults:

The transmission has blown twice.

When I bought my car I had to replace the alternater, battery, starter, air filter and fuel filter. While I had my car I had to replace the struts and shocks, and my door lock.

General Comments:

Well my car used to be fast until my engine is slowly dying and when that goes I'll probably throw a 3.8 in and that'll smoke the tires.

I have tinted windows and a loud system.

How many miles did you think you should have gotten out of a used car transmission? I would buy another car like that one in a second!

A used car (and even a new one) is only what you are willing to make out of it. You have to replace all the "lowest possible quote price" parts that the production line puts on. You'd be surprised what you end up with, after you fix one up. Most likely, in the end, a very dependable, reliable, economical car. You can't take something with 100,000 miles, and expect it to be tweaked and custom. Not even new BMW's and Mercedes are trouble free. Facts of life.
