"I purchased this car 10+ years ago with 40,000 miles. It now has 180,000 miles and i have never had any major problems. This car still has the original exhaust system,valve cover gaskets,and thermostat. I have about $600 in repairs not including tires and brakes in 10+ years."

"Eleven years after being new, with 120K, great fun car to drive. However too many minor electrical bugs. Gas tank evaporative emissions issues -check engine light, broken fuel gauge, vent blower. However still runs and handles well."

2000 Grand Prix GT - GREAT CAR

"My wife originally bought our 2000 GT in 2002 with 28k miles. She wanted an SUV, so I inherited the 2000 GT over 4 years ago when we traded in my 2004 Grand Prix GTP. (at 55k the supercharger was starting to give me issues anyways). The 2000 GT now has 176,000 miles and counting. It still looks good and runs great. We've religiously maintained it and the car has repayed us many times over. Besides a couple wheel bearings, power window motors and a few other things, it's only required regular maintenance over the last 10 years. Mechanically it is a gem and GM got it right with this car. If I had to say anything bad, it's a little loud on the highway (cabin noise) and sensitive to potholes. But it has plenty of pickup, and still gets decent gas mileage (23.5 mpg avg) even with the high mileage. And even though it's almost 12 years old, it is still a pretty sweet looking car. I'm thinking about trading it in for a newer upgrade, but it will be tough to let this car go. I really wanted to see 200,000 miles, but I might sell while it's still worth a couple grand. Overall, in terms of quality and cost to own and maintain, the 2000 Grand Prix rivals the Nissan Maxima as the best overall car I've ever owned. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE 2000 GRAND PRIX GT."

"It is by far the best car I have ever bought so far and for the price!. I was actually looking at buying a new car, BUT after looking at the prices, and thinking about how much I enjoy this car... I think I will put a little money into this one and make it even better than it was when I bought it ! I don't know how I can do that other than buy the newer technology stuff!. Honest to God, I have had people knock on my door, and my parents door (when I am over there) and ask me 3 different times if I was interested in selling my car! . True story! Anyway, I just love my car and am so happy every time I drive it! It is bright red w/ Gray leather interior. Just a beautiful car. I really think Pontiac had it together when they designed this one! I have a beautiful photo of my car, but not with me, I hope I can add it a later time, you will see why I love my car so much! If you get a chance to buy one a 2000 Grand Prix GT ...BUY IT!!"

"I paid just under 8k for this vehicle in 2004 at 90k mi, its the GT so it has the leather seats, sunroof, electric seats, and seat warmers, digital msg board, hologram gages that display on windshield, i mean the works of a luxury car. which i am still driving today. Right now im searching for another vehicle. my GP has 190k mi, it still gets up runs with the best of em. however there are some problems. Ive had to replace nearly every part of my power steering and am to the point now where im not fixing it again, and it leaks whenever theres a drastic temp change. frequent radiator problems, constant anti freeze leaks, my power windows stopped working in the front, which the first time i got them replaced it was under a warranty claim, but to get them fixed out of warranty is a $8-$900 repair. Those are some things to look at when purchasing, i feel like for my money it was an alright deal, i mean it was my college car."

"I traded this car in for a used 2006 GXP. The V-8 GXP is more powerful, but I actually miss my GTP. When the supercharger would kick in, my head would be blasted back in the seat, which doesn't happen with the V=8. I bought the GTP with 36000 miles and drove it to 186000 in 5.5 years. The engine (always used pure synthetic oil) and transmission were near flawless, but I traded it in cause the transmission seemed to shift awkward and was leaking. I still feel the tranny got it's life, even if it was going. The unreliability was in the heater blower motor (went through 2, water was leaking in that area too), and heating system. Constantly put money into that. Also, rack and pinion leaked at 90k, and had to be replaced. Went through 2 sets of wheel bearings. Mass air flow sensor went at 105k, and around 130k my anti-freeze leaked slowly (didn't bother having it looked at). Outside of all that I loved my GTP, and would recommend it to be bought. I would have your mechanic thoroughly examine all the areas I pointed out first though, so you don't have to drop 2-3k in it once you get it."

"To start off, my Pontiac Grand Prix GTP has just over 203,xxx miles as of today. I've had this car for a few years and spent a lot of time breaking in the drivers seat. I have a few modified components but the supercharger, engine, and transmission are still the same ones installed at the factory. I've never needed a rebuild, nor do I see it happening any time soon. I run the supercharger overclocked forcing more air into the engine than was intended at the factory. I do have exhaust work and the computer tuned to properly utilize the added boost. Factory braking is just about average (this is easily fixed by upgrading). Taking it into the corners reveals just how heavy it is, but amazingly for a front wheel drive the tires still manage enough grip to keep the car poised in the corners. The car was cheap to buy, responds very well to power modifications, has been astoundingly reliable, gets excellent mileage that many 4 cylinders can't even achieve(28mpg highway with ~300 bhp). (Scion TC only gets 26mpg highway and only has 160bhp with 400 less pounds) Bottom line, take care of the car and perform the maintenance when it's due. This Grand Prix will suprise you."
