What Owners are Saying About the 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix
"Love this car"
"I ordered this car brand new so have been the only owner. I love this car and am having a very difficult time find a good replacement. Even as old as it is, it has been garage kept and taken good care of. It still handles and runs great. The mileage is causing me to go car shopping. I will be so sad to see this car go."
"A New Appreciation"
"I bought my 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix in 2013. It had 259,309 miles on it at that time. The only repairs I needed to complete were replacing the tires, brakes, and oil. Aside from having the security function activate and shut off my fuel (easy step by step fix) when someone other than me attempted to start the car, I haven't had any issues with it mechanically at all! I've replaced the brakes, front shock assembly, master cylinder, tires, lower ball joint, tail light bulbs, driver door window switch panel, things of that nature as normal maintenance of a 16 year old car! Only problem is that the A.C. won't blow cold air anymore and the repair is more than I want to delve into but it doesn't sound terribly expensive or extensive! I love the way this car handles on the snow, ice, and any other road condition. It's fast enough with plenty of power but still good on gas. And it doesn't cost a ton of money for any parts needed. I am forever a believer in this car as it has treated me right. It currently has 303,000 miles on it (I put 43,691 miles on it in 5 years) and it's still running strong with no signs of letting up. Impressed with this car to the max!"
"I wish they still make them!"
"My car is very dependable and I would recommend this car to anyone. I would love to but another one but Pontiac is no longer made."
