I had pontiac Grand Am GT 2000 Automatic, nice car, now my wife driving it. I got 1999 pontiac sunfire today:
Year: 1999
Make: Pontiac
Model: Sunfire SE
Style/Body: 2 Door Coupe
Engine: 2.2L I-4 MPI
64,000 miles, 5 speed

State: Florida, paid $5000 + diler fee and taxes so total $6100

A little too much, I found by blue book it cost a little less, anyway, I'm happy that I can do some mods to it.

I am trying to find a NEW 2005 Sunfire SVM. Can anyone help me out?

iamhungry

i was wondering if it was worth it to buy a 2000 sunfire, almost perfect exterior but faded front bumper, perfect interior, 102000 miles. It will cost $650 w/ a head gasket replacement for 500-700$, with a total of around 1150?

:confuse: here it goes...Today I went to work at 7:00 a.m. and I was going up a small hill, when my car started smoking from the passenger side and it started getting heavy when I pressed the gas, so I put it back in Parking and then to Drive and it again smoked and wouldn't move. On the third attempt it did make it up the hill and I parked it. I told a coworker of my problem and he went outside to see the car, the coolant box was empty, it did not have any anti freeze at all, so he filled it up with water and he told me to turn it on. I did and a spark plug flew out of the side of the engine. It was broken. He went to buy 4 spark plugs to change them all (he said it was better to get all four of them new at the same time). He got three in but the fourth one he put it in wrong and he messed up the threads. Now I am left with a car that can not run because it is missing a spark plug. He told me I had to go to a mechanic that can thread the hole again and then put the spark plug in! Plus I should also ask the mechanic to check if the hoses of the coolant are not leaking and to ask the mechanic to make an evaluation of the car ( I'm not sure what he meant with "an evaluation").So he messed up my car more than what it was. I have to pay for a tow truck to tow my car to the mechanic and parts and labor of the spark plug. My big question. How much will this cost: I need an ESTIMATE, please!

car description: 2001 Sunfire Pontiac; bought it new, 4 cylinders, 2200HP, change oil every 3,000 miles, 4 door, +70,000 miles

Hi, acalf

You will have a lot better chance of getting a reply if you post in the general Pontiac Sunfire discussion, as this is a pricing forum..

I live in Nova Scotia, Canada.

I bought my 1998 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2L 4 door for $2,000 CAD in October 2006 with 194,000kms

Since then i had to have the alternator rebuilt ($300) and have the gas tank ($100 used) the fuel pump ($150 used) and the filler neck ($80 new) replaced. There are 212,000 on the car now. Am i going to have more problems???

I know this is an old post but thought I would add some helpful advice for new visitors.
1.) The instant your car started smoking you should have pulled of the road and shut her down and had it towed to a shop.
2.) If the spark plug blew out of the motor it was already stripped, and chances are your motor was already trashed. Don't be silly enough to blame a helpful individual. A spark plug flying out of a motor is a sure sign that things are very very very bad
