Saving a very clean, very cheap, Pontiac Grand Am GT from the crusher

If you look long enough and bid on enough cars you get lucky occasionally. This 2003 Pontiac Grand Am GT had only 66,000 miles on it and it really only needs minor repairs. I paid the same price scrap buyers paid for burned out hulks. It would have been a shame to see this one crushed so I am glad I got it. The biggest part of the repair will be the quarter panel. My first goal is to get it drivable and safe to pass the safety test. In order to do that, it will need some suspension and steering parts replaced, new airbags, the trunk aligned, the sunroof repaired, lights checked and a wheel changed.

[@kennethsouthard6042]

I remember renting one and I was driving out of the airport lot I noticed that the odometer read 3 miles, so it was obviously brand new. I had the car for a week put about 400 miles on it and even filled out and mailed back the GM customer comment card that was in the owner's manual case. I didn't care for the hard plastics but otherwise thought it was a pretty good car for it's time.

I JUST found your channel. Thanks KZbin recommended. 😏 Moreover, I have a 2004 Grand Am, 182,000 miles, paid $900 for it. I've had it for a little over a year and LET ME TELL YOU, I've put a good amount of $ into it - for several reasons. The main reason being that it has appeared to me that previous owners/drivers failed to do basic maintenance. 🤦 My most extensive repair has been motor work: intake gaskets, all 6 fuel injectors & harness, etc. I'm surprised my car was still running up to that point because the inside of my motor was fried. 😩 To sum up, I love my car and I've come to love Grand Ams. It made me happy to find your channel and see this video. I've come to learn some cool things about my car. ☺️ Thanks!

I saw an older Grand Am today, the one with the rectangular butt. It was a blast from the past. Don't see many of them anymore in my area. They used to be everywhere around here. I think this body style has held up well. It still looks good to me. Even better than when they were new actually, I thought they were OK looking back then.

I could fall asleep to this guy. So relaxing and happy watching him fix one item at a time. I shoulda been his apprentice when I was young.

The love for grand ams is great. I have owned 4 of them. There super comfortable to drive and easy as hell to work on.

Never boring, always a hoot. The only bad thing is another week. With the wait. Keep on winning!

I'm an old lady that's never worked on a car, but i thought this was an interesting video.

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

Great deal on the car. I enjoy seeing the easy fixes and the hard fixes.

[@vehcor]

I like fixing these and have done the hard and easy fixes on them. I was pretty happy when I got the notification I won for less than my max bid!

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

@@vehcor you got a great deal for sure!

Always like the reasonable Daily Use Pontiac Grand Ams 1990's- mid 2000's for reasons like this video! Editing and commentary is well done,dry, and crisp. Subscribed

Had a 02 GT back in 07. Taxi ran a red light and totalled it. Wife and I loved that car. Couldn't find another clean one in NY after the wreck, so we gave up and got a GTI. Happy your saving it though. They were great cars overall.

Thank you for the auto repair pointers and awesome video

[@westontrine7821]

I had an 03 just like this but black. Bought it with for $6,000 & it too had 66k on it & put 104k on it in 5 years. I loved that car, most reliable car I've ever had. Only ever had a fuel pump go & oil pressure switch blew(both in the first 3 month of owning it) . Check engine light only came on once for an o2 sensor & that was it. Unfortunately it got totaled out by my insurance company after I hit a deer..I miss that car

[@frankvaccaro2815]

Thank you for being a man of your word Weekly videos about fixing cars and trucks We have to find away to get you a weekly T V show Vehcor on Discovery

[@vehcor]

It has been hard, I did make it over a year though. If someone else was doing all the video production work, I’d be glad to keep up the weekly videos or more. Thanks for the support.

23.06 There he is. So good to see the little guy.

[@vehcor]

He’s always there somewhere.

[@kippaseo8027]

This guy sees a gem but I see a car that was never more than a cheap rental car

[@jetmech1495]

I was a winner today when the shop vac came out. For $150.00, that was a hell of a steal. Sorry your other one got totalled, but this one will fill in nicely.
