Used Pontiac Firebird for Sale

I HAVE A 91 PONTIAC FIREBIRD,V8 305 ENGINE. 5 SPEED

First of all, I should state that I bought the car used and horribly taken care of before me, so many of the negatives will most likely come from that. I guess, being a child of the 80's, I was always in love with the mid to late 80's style of the Pontiac Firebird. The car just always cool. Mine, however, wasn't loved as much before I bought it. I think the guy that owned it before me wanted to turn it in to a race car, but gave up and sold it. He broke the original hood attempting to remove the engine to rebuild it. That's how my red Firebird had a black Trans Am hood on it. Honestly, that didn't really bother me. I was 21, it was my first car, I just thought it made it look cooler! But there were other issues. I forgot why, but the ignition needed to be replaced within a week after I bought it. Also, with the "work" the previous owner put into the car, he either removed and forgot to replace, or otherwise broke the transmission mounts, so whenever you stomped on the gas, the transmission would lurch forward and "kick" the engine. He also forgot to reattach the speedometer and odometer, so I never knew how fast I was going. Luckily, I never got pulled over. The only other major downside was the drivers seat was broken and couldn't stay up on it's own, so I had to prop it up with a milk crate. Other than that, I loved that car. I'm sure that now, 10 years later, I'd still be driving it, had it been in better condition before I bought it. Mechanically, everything was fine. Power windows and locks, heat and ac, radio, it all worked just fine.

I bought this car very used - it is a 1999 and I bought it in 2013. It has stood the test of time very well, with only expected maintenance problems. I think it's a sporty looking little car, and I like that. I like that it has 4 doors. Even though it is an older car, it has remote locks and power locks and windows. The interior styling is nice. It's comfortable to drive and has a good sized trunk. It does have a very annoying and expensive to fix coolant leak that is apparently very common to this type of car, and it also has issues with the ABS sensor -- so the brakes are fine, but the light will always be on. I find that bothersome. The car is very good on gas and I get an average of 23 MPG even driving around the little suburb I live in.
