Mechanics Special
1998 Pontiac Sunfire SE, 217k
Runs and drives fine but has many issues
Daily driver since 2021, I've put about 40k miles on it, only needed oil/filter/brake changes.
Pros:
-Engine, Transmission, Joints strong.
-Has a clean title.
-Good gas mileage.
-Heat/Defrost work good.
-Stereo with CD player works.
-All headlights/brakelights work.
Cons:
-Tires bald.
-Brakes need changed bad.
-Burns oil, engine smokes sometimes after turning off if drove a lot.
-Oil light has always come on while idling.
-Expired tags.
-Steering wheel loose vertically.
-Horn, AC, Wiper fluid dispenser, 12V outlet all do not work.
-Windshield cracked, windshield/ drivers window scratched.
-Drivers door has small gap in the rubber, when it rains hard water drips onto the seat.
-Back right turn signal doesn't work (relay/wiring issue, stopped working in 2023, tried multiple bulbs)
-Trunk keyhole broken (seat folds down, can open by reaching inside of trunk).
-Check engine light comes on and off every few months (took into AutoZone 3 times over the past 2 years when it has come on, used their computer scanner, guy said it was an airflow sensor and will decrease gas mileage and rough idling.
Feel free to bring scanner).
-Usually when parked on an incline and shut it off, sometimes it wouldn't start again right away.
Had to wait up to an hour before it started again a handful of times, no idea what causes that.
-3 different times within the last year, when driving the dash said check gages and the RPM arrow went all the way up, but then right back down instantly and check light turned off at the same time.
I googled it and said likely a bad air sensor.
It never caused me an issue while driving but you may wish to fix it.
It is not insured, so you will need to be an insured driver to test drive it.
