What Owners are Saying About the 1998 Pontiac Grand Am
"good car if you buy the right one."
"I bought this car with 120k it now has 253,000 its been all over with very few break downs. change the oil ever 3000. i know this car like the back of my hand. the 3300 is the better engine and 1993 was the last year. if i could find one with lower milege i would buy it up fast. 94-5 do stink bad the 3100 is kinda weak but better MPG cuz they have SFI rather than TPI but TPI has more hp and does less work. it goes about 130 sounds mean looks nice and it cheep to repair when things go bad. it is hard on transmissions if you dont ever change the fluid but i was worth fixing. it has a quarter million miles and it still gets 25-29 mpg. i have beat the breaks off this car and it wont blow up its insane. just as long as you do runtine maintance. only down fall no air bags. over all great car if you take care of it. and i love the style. always clean your Mass air flow sensor to help car run better takes a phillups head driver and a can of carb cleaner makes a work of difference on all 3.3 and 3.8 cars. sence it is a 3.8 block with shorter heads it has just about as much HP as a newer Grand Prix V6 camaro, exc....its absolutly driving excitement. fast kinda loud and has great lines with the GT kit. SEs are ugly dont even waste your money with a 4 door. i feel this car will last 350-400k miles at this rate. btw 207hp on the dyno still and all i have is a K&N cone filter on it. so 1993 or 92 maybe they are very well made cars easy to fix and junk yards are full of parts. its a beater when you need a car for the city but it holds up and it really shines up to look like a sweet looking car"
"Great car Im the 2nd owner"
"First owner did everything right on maintenance. The car hade a garage to stay in every night. Its like I have a brand new 96 Grand AM Love GM"
"Great car"
"I love this car I have had mine for 7 years and it has over 200,000 miles and still runs and drives great. Just now getting ready to sell because the only down fall...not big enough for a family with car seats in the back seat."
