Oil under coat the car inner and outer panels doors hood coil towers quarters once you fix the rust . Also drill 1/2. Inch holes in the pillars and rockers get some plastic 1/2 in plugs spray in oil there too and every used car line and internal boxed in unibody frame area . Oil annually wear an approved respirator and don’t get oil on engine exhaust or catalytic converter . If you have any rust on your oil pan sand it and prime and use a good rust paint . The transmission will last if you do an annual service . My 400800 km 2004 Grand Prix gets oil change and filter every 6000 km annually transmission service ,power steering service and brake fluid service .On the transmission it’s easy to suction out 4-5 litres out the dip stick tube and replace use the gm tape approved dextron 6 double check first .By only removing 4-5 litres you won’t shock the transmission like a flush might and the filter should be changed if you have no history of that being done . The suction removal works best if the transmission is warm , I keep my old fluid (don’t keep it if it’s dark or burnt smelling )to use for other lubing needs like putting on rusted nuts and bolts and door pins , linkages . Here’s a thought for you I redid my brakes front pads and hardware were $27.99 Canadian rear $17.99 and I replaced both rear rotors 29.95 each so my brake job cost me $110 Canadian +tax ,try that on a foreign car lolololo .

I also bought a 2008 Grand Prix with 130,000 and right off the bat I was surprised at the power it has. I had a 2006 BMW 330i and it feels the same way, but I do need to remove the 110 mph top out so I can bury the speedometer someday. It has the MONSOON sound system upgrade which sounded great, but I'm putting in Hertz PRO speakers to replace it. I got aftermarket rims that make the car pop, it's very clean inside including carpet. I stay on top of making it shine every day! Whenever someone gets inside they're like "nice car man!" because I also do Ubers in it. But I do also got the rust bubble problem on the back, I painted over it but I'm glad to know it's common. I did learn something new here I had no idea the front seat goes forward like that! I thought the latch took off the back plastic cover so I never touched it. 😂 Anyhow I am very happy with my purchase, I got it for 3,500 which was a steal so you got an even better deal as the car can sell between 5 to 7 according to KBB. I'll be keeping this car for a long time.

Bought one of these cars as a work vehicle to keep mileage down on my daily driver... bought it for $500 with 220K miles. I’ve replaced brakes all the way around, plugs and wires, the RF wheel hub (all either Dorman or ACDELCO parts). Changed the oil regularly and kept the fluids topped off well. Only thing left is the PS pump which leaks a little and for as little as it gives me problems, I’ll just keep an eye on it for now. I could probably “flip” it for something newer and less mileage, but I’ve grown to like the car a lot and it costs me $30 a month with gas and insurance. I can’t complain.

My coolant elbows were changed when I bought my 03 GT. They didn't do the intake gaskets though so I did. They've been doing great.

I don't let it get under a quart of gas. Hopefully the fuel filter isn't in the fuel pump and is easy to access

I've had to replace brakes, rotors, coil packs, left front hub, right front ABS wire to harness, spark plugs ( the 3 rear ones were seized), spark plug wires, transmission cooling lines, fuel hoses and a section of fuel line under left passenger door area. Front rotors and pads were replaced twice in 2 years, they squeaked a lot, rear rotor and pads were also replaced but they make a loud humming noise when I back up. Once in a while I get a shudder or hard shift from first to second gear., happens after car is driven for 30 minutes. I experience this once a year. As far a I know, the transmission oil and filter have not been changed. My mechanic advises not to as it may cause further damage. Any thoughts?

Engine and drive train were tip top and it had very very little rust despite being a Maine car. Needed 2000 bucks invested with new tires, ball joints, wheel bearings and a sway bar to get it stickered. I just couldn't sink the money into it so I sold it to a guy who used it for in a derby car at the local race track.

GM was stupid to quit making pontiac and keep old, buick. Probably because pontiac was big competition seeing how gm only offers a corvette and v8 camaro at ridiculous prices where pontiac had more sporty cars.

GM killed Pontiac instead of Buick because Buick is the #1 selling import car in CHINA. GM sells 70% of their vehicles in CHINA, Yes, 70%!! Pontiac outsold Buick in the USA, but the sales were tiny compared to Billions of Chinese potential buyers! The Chinese Emperor in the 1930's used to ride around Beijing in a BUICK, (one of the few Chinese that even owned a car back then) so Buick is looked at as a prestigious vehicle brand in China!
