Pontiac has come to an end
It is a sad time for Pontiac lovers and anyone else who may have had a Pontiac throughout their lifetime. Pontiac had one of the first “muscle cars.” Anyone who had one of these cars and probably some still do, know how great they were. So, it’s sad to see this car legend come to an end. Some people that still have Pontiacs could possibly make some money on them in the years to come I bet.
The big question is whether you should buy a new Pontiac or not. Larry Printz of The Virginian-Pilot gives the pros and cons. There are some good choices out there for Pontiacs right now. You have the Pontiac G3 hatchback, the G6, and the G8. The pros are that if it’s a reliable model and you are the kind of person who buys a car and runs it into the ground, the cars will be cheap. Another pro is that there won’t be problems finding parts. Many of the Pontiac parts are in other GM vehicles as well. So, here are the cons: the trade-in values will be “diminished immediately” and if you are the type of buyer that trades vehicles often, the Pontiac is not the choice for you.
I know several people who have had Pontiacs and had no problems with them. I think if you like the models and you plan to drive it for awhile, go for it! Buy a Pontiac. You won’t have the opportunity soon enough.
