1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GT Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour

[@rhymekingforever]

I remember when I was younger, around 11 my mother being alive at the time before I lost her to cancer, I remember we went to the car lot and she test drove that '98 Grand Prix GT in that exact same color, you could hear the engine growl as she had accelerated. No doubt in my mind the V6 engine was pretty powerful for a sedan at that time.

[@jonathanvandagriff7515]

Sorry about your mom. I was also scared I would lose my mom to her cancer.

[@carfan5824]

I’m very sorry for your loss.

[@Yungndturnt]

I lost my bro and my aunt from cancer I miss them but it was in 2014 my brother was 4 months when he died form it my aunt was 21

[@Yungndturnt]

I’m sorry for you’re lost

[@Yungndturnt]

Loss*

I love how Kyle goes from reviewing a Ferrari 458 Italia, to a brand new Lamborghini Aventador to a Aston Martin Vantage, all the way down to something as common and plain as a Pontiac Grand Prix! This dude would review anything! And that's why Kyle's the only car salesman I like and respect.

That engine bay! 3800 Series=BOSS...I miss you Pontiac, as I wipe tear away......

I've always loved Pontiac Grand Prix's for some reason. Got a 2008 GT for Christmas from my dad this year, and even though it's quick, it rides smooth.

[@Alex148710]

This is the best car I've ever driven.. I'm so proud to own one.. very reliable engine, drives so smooth on long distance rides... Great cars... Gotta love 'em!

Just got me one, here in a few days. 1997 GTP stock. Hehe! Well, I said I want Pontiac back. LOL

[@jdoubleu2813]

me too! mine was supercharged as well :(

[@rogerb1108]

thanks for the 1080p! you really know what you are doing! i know you are really busy but even then, you are delivering such a great video. There are millions of people that are jealous with a mindset like that! you are awesome!

[@autonathan]

My grandma has a 1999 Pontiac Bonneville SE and she loves it. Bought it new and now only has like 58,000 miles on it. Very big and luxurious car.

[@stevew270]

In spite of the intake and head gasket problems the Series 2 engines were great engines, lot of get up and go and great mileage.

[@Corkoth55]

That engine bay is immaculate! i am beyond impressed!

[@datboiwes333]

I've been in several of these cars through the years and one thing I hated was the interior. GM used the worst kind of plastics inside. One way you can tell how well kept this car was is how all of the buttons are not worn, the cheap paint likes to rub off on them.

[@GETaYOTA]

Dang that's clean. I've never "cut on" my headlights though. I usually "turn them on".

[@kylechellino2579]

Good one man! That was actually pretty funny!

[@devontaeking2758]

Miss this generation of these Grand Prix. Like the rev engine roars😍

[@awesomerandomninja]

"What else can you ask for from a Pontiac?" Reliability, among other things.

I’m 9 Years late but I got got a blue 1999 Grand Prix gt. Bought it in cash and I’m super excited to have it

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

My dream Pontiac sedan!! Terrific job bro.

[@mohammadalsaeed2625]

This was my first car bought it in 1997 when went college and survived for over 6 yrs problem free

[@bradleymeyer9775]

Love how it looks in red. But the generation after this, the 2004-2008 Grand Prix, I like in silver.

[@Jon3800]

Once again, it's good that you mention the MSRP of the car and discuss the trim levels and where they fit onto the car, and the reliability of the engine. It really sets your vids apart from whenever you look the newer cars at the dealership. You should incorporate this. I love the throaty tone of the 3800, but try out the old 3.1 (not the 3100) and 3.4L DOHC V6 on a Z24. Throaty exhaust. But best of the best GM engine ever built back in the day. That's why I drive my Oldsmobile

[@pontiacGXPfan]

I'm amazed to see any of these still running 20+ years later. GM must've done something right

[@ralphvaccaro2638]

3.8 is a good engine

[@RyanMoran1992]

I like the seatbelt reminder on this car. Not as loud as others and not nearly so harsh as in modern cars... quite a pleasant sound I think!

[@haterslayer1]

I have one of these(2000 coupe) and if you're looking for one as a first car or something I highly recommend it. I've had it for 8 years now and still love it. Good car that does pretty much whatever you'd want a car to do.

[@thunderlock110]

That car is MINT! The engine is spotless!

[@grovermcwilliams1393]

I love this 1998 Pontiac grand prix GT

[@TimmyAyres]

Pontiac often had cool exterior styling. I don't think I can say the same about their interiors though.I guess the nicer interiors were saved for more premium divisions? However, this car's isn't bad, at all. Nicer than the last model they ever made

[@hakeemsd70m]

I disagree, the 2004 Grand Prix interior was so much better.

[@TheCarArchives96]

the 1997-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix was assembled in Kansas City, Kansas, United States

[@wildman00sax]

The Buick 3800 engines in these things last forever!! They won't die. Mine's still going strong at 172,040 miles.

[@jtb1990419]

Very nice car! My dad had one of the GTP's, a '97 purple one that was one of the nicest cars that my family has owned. Fast but practical and comfortable. It was to become mine, but it was sold due to the economy. Almost bought a 2000 GTP in black, but the owner backed out. Now I drive a 1994 Buick Park Avenue Ultra. Not a bad trade off!

[@jeepguy95]

I always loved GP's. They look great, perform great, and are very, very comfortable. Not to mention the wire wheels! (:

[@byronmohawk]

Really appreciate your videos, man. Very in-depth and informative. Easy to tell you have a true love for all cars...not just the popular ones. Great job, man.

[@pskittle488]

Awesome looking car, nice to see one in such good condition. The only fault I could see was the passenger side tail light housing looks a little moist inside. It will probably need replacing soon.

[@1mlb704]

I bought a silver 2000 GTP coupe for my first car a few months back. I love these cars! My GP is the nicest car in the senior parking lot at school haha :D

I always love these older cars.

[@jphritz011]

I have an 01 GP GT for six months and have had lots of problems. I replaced the transmission, catalytic converter and the transmission line just blew out causing fluid to splash everywhere. I also completed an entire tuneup. It runs like a top now, but damn what a money pit. Maybe it's just mine though. A lemon.

[@NickMyers1]

Long live the 3800. Great engine. Extremely clean Grand Prix, wow. Hopefully a quick sale...that thing looks do be in great shape (sounds it too!).

[@notsogrand2837]

I love my 97' GP GT.

[@southshore516]

These cars in the GT trim look so much better than the GTP with all that ridiculous body cladding. It's too bad they didn't offer the 3800SC as a standalone option across the model range. This one is in very good shape cosmetically, usually when you see these nowadays they're totally clapped out. I'd love to see saabkyle04 do one of the ASC/McLaren Turbo Grand Prix's!

[@jamiroquaifan_2005]

The 3800 v6 is a great engine but an option for a v8 would have been sick

[@jtguttormson7833]

I've got an '02 with 230,xxx, largest repair I've had was a blown fuel injector and that was my fault :P you just can't hate on these things, one of the meanest fwd cars I've ever heard of.

[@pascutia]

Kyle,when are you going to do more test drives? They are really interesting.

[@gottaputmeon]

my brother has a grand prix like this with gtp rims on it, they break into it alot because its so easy to get into em. he wont sell the car because he loves it so much. i see why thanks to kyle!\\

[@453278495ab]

The water build up in the lights seems to be common.

[@Underappreciatedclassics]

TheNewResolution the rubber bushing gaskets dry rot and eventually water and stuff makes its way into the lenses, it’s a easy fix of just taking the fixtures out and replacing the rubber gasket seals after removing the water and stuff,

[@rawalker8389]

great preview man currently in the process of buying a local GP 😁

[@suddenlyvlogs]

I have almost the exact same car (I don't have the leather, but I do have the automatic dual-zone climate and a CD player) and it's been great. Even after I had to have the frame stretched back into shape it's been flawless. Unfortunately it recently lost a fight with a deer and I don't have the money to fix it. If I can find another one I'll buy it in a heartbeat

[@zacharyjenkins5714]

Please do more Grand Prix I love the car and ur videos are intertaining

[@achm3d]

North Carolina and every state south of it seems like a great state for a car to spend its life in; a lot of the used cars on Kyle's channel are in great condition like this due to them not being vulnerable to rust like they would be in the north or midwest. and after seeing some of those repos they had a while back, I'd be shocked if this was one lol! This had to have been garaged though. Even in warmer climates like down south mother nature can do some bad things like hail.

[@moparsrock]

@saabkyle04 It's been awhile since you did a video about your families dealership. I always enjoyed the videos where you started up every car there, and said a thing or 2 about each one.

Hey Kyle, just thought I would say I really love the variety of cars you show and the detail you go into when showing these cars...I'm glad I stumbled upon your videos! Also, I'm a very recent subscriber and I saw your vid regarding your appearance in Car and Driver magazine, very impressive...keep it up!

[@LachlanPhil]

I have a 2000 Holden Commodore S in the same colour. Very similar cars with the same 3800 v6.

[@ExplorerXP8]

ive got a 98 gtp, with a little bit of moisture in the tail lamps like this one. How do I get it out, and prevent it?

[@ConkersBFDN64]

Just make sure you get the valve cover gaskets replaced if needed, and that the fuel pressure regulator is working as it should, and you'll have no issues.

[@DaPhillyCarGuru]

I'm only one that heard avenged sevenfold when he turned the radio on lol

[@VazDraeStudios]

[@datboiwes333]

@RedRoosterRoad With automatic transmissions you just put the shifter to "P" (park) and that will hold the car in place. On automatic transmissions the hand brake is really only for like when you park on a hill.

[@raymondreiff8170]

I drove one with the four Cylinder engine past 200.000 miles it was fun and didn't break down too much, Now I own Honda's due to GM Not staying in the GAME ❗

After consulting Google... it looks like you're right. Maybe I'm confusing it with the Grand Am, or maybe time has just been kind to the GT/GTP body. When these were new, I remember thinking "god, that's hideous" (goes for all Pontiacs of the late-90s) - but now? It really doesn't look so bad...
