  • Great car - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM

    I love driving this car. It is quick and nimble and handles great. I love the styling; it definatly grows on you the longer you own one. The dash is excellently designed. Very reliable. No noises or other sounds and no maintenence bills yet.

  • This Car Has Been Great! - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    Over all this car has been so realiable to me. The body was in rough shape when I got the car, but it just keeps running. I bought the car in Summer 2010, it is now spring 2013, the car has 178,478 miles on it! Still kick ass. Ive only had to replace a water pump (15 Dollars Brand New, Advanced Auto Parts), a starter (50 Dollars Brand new Ebay), & When I bought it the driver side window never worked. 70 dollars and an ebay search got me all new parts for both driver and passenger windows. Both work flawlessly now! also got two brand new headlights for 60 bucks, wasnt needed but wanted. LOVE THIS CAR! Still driving this car!

  • Not a bad car, but... - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    Ive had my Pontiac for 7 years, and put over 120,000 miles on it. Its fairly comfortable, quick enough for daily driving and fun to drive. Reliability is... okay. Its had intake gaskets, power steering pump, fuel pump, water pump, power seat motors, front power windows replaced twice each, rear power windows replaced and a new BCM computer. It looks like junk with peeling clearcoat and disintegrating dashboard, but it starts first try and gets me to my destination with no fuss. Gas mileage averages mid-20s, but thats mostly my fault as I like making the V6 work hard.

  • I HAVE ENJOYED MY GRAND AM GT - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    AN EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR A VEHICLE. VERY DEPENDABLE. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MINE. DRIVES SMOOTH, VERY FUN TO DRIVE. I LOVE THE BODY STYLE. ABSOLUTELY THE BEST CAR IVE EVER OWNED. I HATE TO SELL IT, BUT I HAVE TO MOVE UP TO AN SUV NOW TO HAVE MORE ROOM FOR OUT GROWING FAMILY. I WILL MISS MY GRAND AM...:(

  • Oops I did it again - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    Can you believe I traded an Accord for this!?! Loved the looks, paid for them in quality. Once I put CERAMIC pads on all 4, aftermarket rotors and calipers on, brakes lasted a little longer. Wheel bearings junk. Drive train great, everything else is ensuring AC Delco workers their retirement pay and keeping the Dealerships repair dept busy. Almost got rid of it, but was upside down and paying on repairs. 110,000 miles and no problems (except brakes) in last 50K.

    Great Car! Had to replace a bigun that was stolen and tried a few. My wife loved it. I wasnt sure even after buying it(if Momma aint happy, aint nobody happy!). 3 yrs later Im glad her emotion overruled me. Its a fantastic car. Its a lively, road warrior thats a joy to drive; always responsive no matter what. Almost beach season and the familys eager to use the moonroof and stereo every Saturday. The cars big enough but not too big; cute enough for her; exciting enough for me. My 12yo son is already asking if hes going to "inherit" the car when hes old enough. Im sure its safe enough, but Im definitely not ready to let him have all the fun!

  • Not bad at all after all these years - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    All in all I havent had to spend much at all on maintenance over the years.. the biggest expense was the intake manifold but that didnt need to be done, just a slow external leak that doesnt harm anything.. dealer sensationalism and gouging.. lesson learned. The blinker contacts are dirty making it blink a lot, the power window just went, the fan doesnt work above 3, the radios display is dead, the power lock on the passenger side is dead.. little electronic things are starting to happen over time that I could fix myself pretty cheap and just might.. but overall I cant complain for having a car last 10 years. Starts first time, every time.. even at 30 below zero. Well built powertrain

  • Loved my Car - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    I bought this car brand new & drove it 60K miles until it was totalled after being hit at 60 MPH (I was doing 35) in a semi-T-bone on the drivers side by a DUI in a Tahoe. My injuries were less than expected considering it took jaws of life & 45 minutes to extract me. Both axles were broke off. But the car protected me and my passenger!! Car ran perfectly with zero problems. Big- O brakes never lasted long - was it them or the car?

  • I have NEVER been so disappointed! - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    This was my very first brand new car. I started having problems within the first year and and it has been one thing after another. Thank God I bought the extended warranty. As of right now I have been waiting three weeks for the dealership that I have been using to get my car in to have the power steering pump replaced and to fix a hub problem on the right front. The Pontiac dealership is not the same one that I bought the car from,although I was assured that would not be a problem. Because of all the problems with this vehicle, I will probably never buy another GM product.

  • Pretty decent car - 2000 Pontiac Grand AM
    By -

    I received this car in mid-2006 and have had it ever since. It just hit 200,000 miles and has still kept going (knock on wood!) I am pleased with the way it has held up. I drive an average of 25,000 miles each year so I am pretty hard on cars.
