    Car has been sold thanks!


    Looking to sell my 1997 Grand Prix GT White in Houston Texas. I have pictures on my eBay listing here:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/162153589432









    Up for sell is a used 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. It has 184740 miles on it and had been a good running car until it lost oil. It now has a knock and chirp of the engine so it will need to be replaced. It now has 20W oil in it to prevent any further damage and it does start and run, though I would suggest you tow it to your place to prevent any further issues.

    The features of this car are:

    1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GT

    3.8L V6 Engine

    Automatic Transmission

    18Gallon Tank

    Heads Up Display to show MPH/KPH and Radio Station

    Leather Interior and Steering Wheel, Shifter Boot and Shifter

    White Exterior Paint

    Brown Interior Carpet and Leather

    Premium Sound with Amplifier

    Replaced front and rear desk speakers

    Replaced Radiator, Radiator Hoses, Coolant, Thermostat, Replaced Heater Hoses, Hose Clamps

    Replaced AC Compressor, Top Off R134A, Replaced Serpentine Belt

    Replaced all Struts and Springs on all four corners.

    Replaced brakes and front wheel bearings and ABS sensors

    Work was performed within 3 years from now so all else should be in good working condition.

    Remote Keyless Entry and Trunk Release.

    Tinted LLumar Windows

    The bad:

    Engine needs to be replaced

    Rear Bumper from accident needs to be replaced. I have replacement and will provide this for you as well as cushion under the bumper.

    Exhaust is off hanger and needs to be placed back.

    Fuel Gauge does not work. Use the computer display to track fuel used.

    Have clean title for the vehicle and registration does not expire until August.

    That bumper and fenders look mint! I'd take those if shipping wasn't a rediculous amount

    You check shipping with FedEx they surprisingly usually have good rates on heavy ass things. I did ship 4 18" rims once for about 78 dollars before. Though I am not parting it out yet looks like that may be worth more my time to do so.

    I will let you know. It is definitely the bottom end of the engine. It lost oil and ran dry it definitely is a connecting rod bearing to the crankshaft and I bet it is damaged or scored in some way. Such a simple thing failed but catastrophically killed the engine for any real use.
