@@mrincredible5492 jeez thats crazy what you can get for 750$, the naturally aspirated engine on this baby is probably the most reliable v6 made by the America. Congrats

A very nice and solid example of the Pontiac brand. 👍

[@brendenaerosmithfarr8226]

[@MydNyteRayne]

I have a white 2006 Grand Prix, almost 180,000 miles!

[@fordmustang98guy]

Sheryl Ann how long have you had your Grand Prix?

[@Satsuma1]

My grand prix lasted for 12 years those things are heavily reliable then one day your radiator leaks coolant

[@Stevenc284]

Getting my dads Grand Prix in a year, he has 100,000 miles on it and still looks brand new, very clean interior with tan and black.

[@fordmustang98guy]

kematirar has your dad ever had transmission issues with the Grand Prix?

[@Stevenc284]

Mark from [fordmustang98guy] No, car is in perfect condition

[@fordmustang98guy]

kematirar Will doing a transmission flush hurt the transmission? I did a transmission flush on my 2002 Buick Regal & it’s like the Grand Prix but I had 79,000km when I got the car & I did a transmission fluid flush because I don’t know if anything has been properly maintained but now I feel that my transmission feels like a punch I feel that my shift solenoid is bad

[@IceTheFanDude]

My bus driver has a 2008 Saab 9.3 2.0t owned it since new only issue was literately was a non working window one year.

[@jacobfountain8063]

I have this car. 2005 GT Just turned over to 103k. Blue green crystal metallic sunroof remote start etc. Has not let me down at all. As a bonus I have 5% limo tints and it helps with glare and sunlight. Good cars.

[@abenson6862]

My wife and I got the base model. Trying to look ahead for any possible repairs I might need to make to it in the near future. I bought it from a owner who put 112K miles on it. Mostly highway since he lives out of town. He kept it in his driveway since he upgraded to a bigger vehicle. There are no engine lights on. Which in my opinion doesn't matter, since everything eventually breaks down. He hasn't done nothing to it except basic maintenance. OIl change, tire rotation. I read recently on another site that brakes are a common problem people seem to replace. but I was probably thinking they race it around town and wear and tear them down at stop lights and signs. We are not planning on racing it around. So. my question is (to all and any Grand Prix owners)= besides the brakes, any other common problems I might encounter? this will be mainly a intown car, job commuter vehicle.

[@hakeemsd70m]

To add to the transmission, make sure to flush and replace the transmission fluid every 30-40K miles, or whatever the owner's manual says. Also, the 3800 V6 is prone to coolant leaks from the intake manifold gaskets, so replacing the factory ones might be a good idea. I had the lower intake manifold gasket leak coolant onto the throttle body on my 2005 Grand Prix GT and had the gaskets replaced for about $700. Sucks, I know. But other than that, the 3800 V6 is bulletproof reliable.

[@TheAlpha620]

I have a 2004 grand prix with 333882 kms. haven't had any major issues with it for the 2 years I've had it. one time all the coolent leaked out and I noticed it was on max temp and I was like ohhhhhh. That's after I've been driving it for 10 mins wondering why there was some kind of smoke coming from the front right wheel. I was dumb. anyway I love my car and it's great

[@shaynedumas4436]

I LOVE MY 2006 GP SUPERCHARGED!!! GOOD VIDEO BRO THANKS

[@fordmustang98guy]

My pleasure & yea I like the grand prix's they are amazing cars especially the 3800 motor they are awesome my 2002 Buick Regal LS has the 3.8 Series II V6

[@karm1439]

if you want to hit the emergengy brake you just have to push your foot down hard where you were when you said you werent sure if it works. The cruise control is on the left and it works beautifully in that car, also the whole car turns into a bed. The trunk is huge and it all folds down making a massive sleeping space with the seats going flat. Also, if the gas cap was open, the sensors will tell you and thars why you have to drive about 20 miles to reset it. That way you can pass a smog test. The computer in these cars are genious. But like i said, you will have to replace the window motors, button decals, and spoiler. It seems to be made of a different cheaper material. also I have to step on my gas when I start my car.

[@ryans413]

I drive still today a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am 3.4 V6 it just hit 16 years old only has 145,000 Kilometres on it. It’s in I’d say 85% condition so not 100% perfect but I’ve had too fix some things because of age. If I get another car it’ll be a Grand Prix cause I like those too.

[@fordmustang98guy]

Ryan S The Grand Prix is a much better car because it’s got the 3800 motor the Grand Am only had the 3400 motor my Uncle had a 1997 Pontiac Grand Am SE he bought it in 2004 it was used at the time & drove it until early 2011. He drove the shit out of it lol

[@ryans413]

Mark from [fordmustang98guy] yea I like the 3800 but the 3400 I got still going strong for now

[@fordmustang98guy]

Ryan S I own a 2002 Buick Regal & it’s got 99,000km which is about 61,000 miles US so I’m almost at 100,000km so that’s about 62,000 miles on the odometer my Regal has the 3800 Series II motor I’m actually from Canada 🇨🇦 Lol

[@ryans413]

Mark from [fordmustang98guy] 100,000K is nothing really motor just broken in at that point

[@fordmustang98guy]

Ryan S I do want to hang on to my Regal as long as I can I do take good care of the car

[@Brett235]

I have a 2008 base model and it's a great car. I like those chrome wheels, mine are the same kind but regular aluminum.

[@fordmustang98guy]

One thing I like about the Grand Prix’s is the 3800 Buick Engine yours is the Series III Motor I own a 2002 Buick Regal & it has the same motor like your Grand Prix mine is a Series II motor

[@fordmustang98guy]

How long have you had your 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix?

[@keithminor141]

i too have a 2008 base model 3800 series engine and love it. I prefer the quiet sound of the 3.8L, versus the more powerful and louder 5.3L, that doesn't get as good of gas mileage (of course) and have heard to be more repair prone? Wouldn't mind the heated, leather seats and sunroof of the gxp, but that extra power, would have me in traffic court, LOL. Oh, yeah, what were they thinking, putting the power steering fluid cap in such an hard to reach spot???

[@jacobfountain8063]

@@keithminor141 There's an easy trick to getting to your power steering reservoir; unscrew the two nuts holding your coolant overflow bottle. Theyre on the top of the strut tower. (be careful not to tip it over as it can pour out even with the cap on) and just gently lift up and out of the way. Then you'll have all the room to get to the cap and you can check the fluid level. You'll thank me later! 👍

5:30 but it's assembled in Oshawa to the Canadians this would be a domestic car

[@kaadauwgg]

But it is an American company. And not all of them are made in Canada. Only a handful. There are certain things that the Canadian assembled Grand Prix won't do that American-made PontiacsGP's will. Like coding a fresh cut key on its own.
