What is everyone's thought on these cars. I found one that I am considering buying. http://taylor.nylemaxwell.com/used/detai...4d_Austin_Texas One thing that is nice about it, is the engine and transmission come with a free lifetime protection guarantee for as long as I own the car.
Part covered
Engine: cylinder block and cylinder head and all internally lubricated parts, turbocharger, supercharger, harmonic balancer, timing gear, chain and belt, timing cover, intake and exhaust manifolds, valve covers, oil pan, and engine mounts.
Transmission: transmission case and all internally lubricated parts, torque converter, flywheel / flex plate, vacuum modulator and transmission mounts

From what I've researched, they're probably one of the best years for Pontiacs. It's one of the few GMs that got the Series III 3.8L, which has an aluminum upper intake manifold and the revised metal framed lower intake gaskets, so all the internal coolant leak problems are essentially solved. The drivetrain at least is fairly bulletproof.
The 3800/4T65 combination is durable as anything. It'll also get good highway fuel economy for a car its size.
The supercharged 3800, nice.

You get the engine and tranny warranty, if you only get your car serviced there for every oil change (for the engine warranty) and follow mfg recommendations for the tranny.
Watch out as those trannys (4T65-E) can be troublesome, especially in the earlier models. Thats the only weak spot and the engine is pretty much bullet proof with the series III.
The GXP with the 3.8 supercharged and the V8 require premium

Those cars are not prone to trouble, and repairs are never too expensive. If the price is right, I recommend it.

Seems pricey to me, but I am not sure what they go for in your neck of the woods. I would think 9500 is fair price for that.

Good solid car. Not a powerhouse unless you get the supercharged model. But fairly roomey and good on gas.
