My first car, so take it easy.

1999 Pontiac Grand Am



I think its awesome. Heck, for $400, I love it.

Well, comment below if you want to.

By the way, if Jordan is reading this, I forsee a GTPlanet Premium Membership and a GTPlanet bumper sticker in my future.

For just $400, we aren't expecting a BMW M3, you know. ;)

Congratulations. But this thread is useless without pics. :D
 
I don't know how to upload pics... do u have to use a special website. i used flickr, but i'll make an account and upload it and get pics
 
Likely bicycle... :lol:

You can use any number of free image-sharing sites, flickr, photobucket, imageshack.us ...whatever suits your fancy.
 
wow, 400? really? That's a freaking steal!!! with that outlay you can justify a supercharged 3800 engine swap with some Trasher Engineering upgrades, haha

Nice ride, I have always liked how those look... oddly.

That's a damn steal. Selling off the parts alone should net you at least a couple of thousand dollars on E-Bay.

Sure it wasn't stolen? :lol:
 
^well the passenger headlight is foggy....and what motor is in it? From the pic I suspect the 4banger...

You're car is hovering. :scared:
:tup:haha

BTW, you should change your username in 'car1265' instead of 'scooter 1265'👍👍👍

Nice buy, great deal you made there.
enjoy your ride
 
I'm jealous. I have to run in a 2002 Escort right now and I envy you. Enjoy the ride.👍
 
Okay, it was not stolen(at least I'm 99.9% positive it wasn't). The only reason it was $400 was it was through some friends of mine at church.

The faults
Little rusty,
No AC(might be minor or major fix)
No radio(got stolen, but should have one in the near future)
No passenger mirror(but I plan to pick one up very soon)

The specs
1999 Pontiac Grand Am
2.4L 4 cylinder
FF(lol, gotta love my influence of Gran Turismo)
Pioneer speakers

@ kikie - Its not hovering, just wanted to not include my dad's car. Also, scooter is my dad's old nickname. We created that account 3 years ago, and I'm not going to bother messing around with a new one, because we have over 700 trophies and all that jazz from the PlayStation Store. Its kind of catchy too, lol.

@Cano - Yeah, this has been a car that I always loved the look of.


Side note - Its too bad that this car isn't on GT4. I'd love to tune it up and rip it up on the 'Ring, lol.

Nice deal! I paid $200 for my '91 pickup, but looks like you got a better deal!
 
$400? Congrats! Just be sure to do a good inspection over and under the car for any lemon-scented bits. Also, don't pimp out a Grand Am... Ever
 
$400 for a newer Grand Am with better body and paint than my $2300 Nissan 200SX...

That IS a steal.
 
7 years ago my first car I got for $400 was a 1989 Oldsmobile 88. I'd rather have the oldsmobile, honestly. probably way more comfortable, more oomph (3.8L V6 :scared: ), and had a radio and such. but congrats anyways.
