I'm looking at a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire as a first car for my daughter the student. This one has 34k on it, CarFax says it is clean and it looks and drives fine as far as I can tell. It sure looks a lot faster with the spoiler and so forth than it drives, which is exactly what I want for her !
Any known gotchas with the L4 engine and auto transmission?
I do all of my own work on my cars BTW and will order the FSM to add to my collection.
We were looking at the Grand Am's but the 3.4L and it's intake manifold gasket problems have scared us away. It seems just about every used Grand Am on the dealers lot's that I have looked at has had gasket troubles, at least the ones where the dealers let me see the service history of the car.
It's just not worth the risk.
