1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP 3.8 Superchrarged from North America
Summary:
Not bad for the money
Faults:
I've only had the car for a month and I have put new stereo, hubs, motor mounts, headlight assemblies, struts and strut bearings.
Still needs valve cover gaskets... leaks pretty bad.
General Comments:
For all the miles it has, the car has held up pretty well considering it probably was not babied its whole life.
Leather is in great shape with no cracks.
I just raced a new BMW 325ci and spanked it good.
Has too much torque for front wheel drive.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Wow, are we sharing the same car? I have the "same" problems, but now my supercharger is going.
In addition, the headlight covers fell off at 40,000 miles for no apparent reason.
The stereo has been replaced twice, possibly due to what you stated, "faulty wiring". you'd think the dealer would have known that! guess it's easier for them to pop in a new stereo; problems still exist.
Transmission, stereo, engine valves and window motor went after 45,000; in addition to paint bubbling.
Since, speakers have gone, the poor quality battery has been replaced 2x after leaking; caused some damage.
All in all a very discouraging purchase; my husband never lets me live it down. this is my second grand prix. first one, (1990 LE model) had 171,000 miles, looked beautiful and ran strong when I traded it in for the 1998 model. unfortunately, I'll never buy another grand prix.
