My name is Joe and I sell vehicles differently than most dealers. Buying your next vehicle through one of my NO RESERVE auctions is the best way to take the games out of your next automotive purchase. I personally road test each vehicle before it is offered for sale so I can give you my first hand opinion of how it runs and drives. Please keep in mind that I am neither a mechanic nor do I operate an auto service facility. Each vehicle is represented accurately and honestly to the best of my knowledge and ability. Please take the time to read this entire description, read my terms & conditions and review each of the photos closely BEFORE asking questions and BEFORE placing a bid. An administrative fee of $149 will be added to the final bid of each auction. Up for a NO RESERVE auction today is a Pontiac Grand Am SE coupe with the rare manual transmission. This Pontiac comes to us as a new car trade from a large high end dealership in Lancaster County. I would rate the exterior of this vehicle to be in AVERAGE CONDITION for the age and mileage of this unit. As you can see, this is a good looking vehicle. It is finished in a medium blue with charcoal interior. Aside from some fading on the exterior plastics (which is common with GM products), the exterior of this Pontiac shows quite well. There are no noteworthy dents, scratches or scuffs on the exterior of this vehicle. All of the body panels line up evenly and open/close properly. The wheel covers are in great condition. The tires show average tread all around. All of the glass and lenses appear to be intact. It has a current PA safety and emissions inspection. I would rate the inerior condition of this Pontiac to be AVERAGE for the age and mileage of this vehicle. The door panels are clean and tight. The button that adjusts the power mirrors is missing. The power locks work properly. The carpets are clean. The seats are clean and comfortable. The drivers sun visor is torn at the corner but still operable. The headliner is clean and tight. The trunk is spacious plus the rear seats fold for additional storage room. The original owners books are included as well as two keys. The stereo has been upgraded to a CD player which sounds good. The climate control system appears to be working properly, too. The air conditioner blows cold air. Mechanically, this Pontiac appears to be in good running and driving condition. The 2.4L gas sipping four cylinder engine starts easily and idles smoothly. I have not seen any leaks and the engine does not smoke. The suspension on this Grand Am feels nice and tight as it should. The steering is neutral and responsive. The brakes bring this coupe to a stop with absolutely no issues. Out on the highway, this car cruises nice and smooth with no complaints. The engine makes good power and gets great fuel economy, too. The only complaint I have is that there is apparently a small vacuum leak in the intake which I can't find. I can hear it hissing but I don't have the proper diagnostic machine to locate the leak. A smoke machine (which most garages have) would pin down the location of the leak in a matter of minutes. It is most likely a little rubber vacuum hose that has gotten brittle with age and has cracked. Sometimes the car with jerk under more than half throttle because of this. If you keep a relatively light foot, you'll never feel it. Again, this is a minor annoyance that can be solved in minutes with the proper tool and fixed for probably a few bucks. I have personally driven this vehicle in excess of 300 trouble free miles. Please bid with confidence. I would drive this car anywhere without a second throught. The engine keeps a perfectly cool temperature at all times. The clutch engages smoothly and does not slip or chatter. Gear changes through the manual transmission are smooth and precise. With just over 100k miles, this Pontiac is barely broken in. This is the same engine used in the sporty Cavalier Z24 and is known to go well into the 200k range with proper care. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

Please understand that each vehicle we sell is being sold exactly as it was traded, unless otherwise noted in the written description. The written description we provide is based soley on our observations of the vehicle during our road test and should not be taken as any kind of official mechanical inspection done by a certified inspection mechanic.

Please consider this when you decide if buying from us is something you feel comfortable with.

We are happy to answer any questions from prospective buyers regarding our business or specific vehicles listed for sale and aim to make buying from us as trouble free as possible.Fee and Tax Information: The only fee added by the seller is our $149 administrative fee. This is used to isolate our fixed expenses such as eBay fees, transportation, processing, ect., and is not applied to any transfer costs incurred by the purchaser. The purchaser is responsible for any and all costs associated with transfer of ownership including, but not limited to: registration, sales tax, tags (including temp or in-transit tags), title transfer, inspection, and transportation expenses. We are unable to complete any tag or title work, including temp tags, in-house, nor do we collect any sales tax or registration fees. There are Tag & Title locations nearby that can handle those tranactions. We will assist you in that process.See our other listingsDisclaimer: This auction is a legally binding contract to buy this vehicle. All vehicles are sold as-is unless otherwise specified. I have done my best to accurately describe this vehicle. It is up to the buyer to come see and further inspect the car before the end of the auction.-->http://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqZ,!p!FBd-97MQzBQqqmpT8Ig~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqZ,!p!FBd-97MQzBQqqmpT8Ig~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16hHJGoE9nuQhny8BQqqi9PpIQ~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16hHJGoE9nuQhny8BQqqi9PpIQ~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqZ,!p4FCK3(LT98BQqqkJcJEQ~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqZ,!p4FCK3(LT98BQqqkJcJEQ~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16d,!yEE9s5jGL(4BQqqliZYgQ~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16d,!yEE9s5jGL(4BQqqliZYgQ~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqN,!lEFCfgD8glLBQqqttBgew~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqN,!lEFCfgD8glLBQqqttBgew~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16dHJGYE9noojjB7BQqq1tvcPg~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16dHJGYE9noojjB7BQqq1tvcPg~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqR,!joFCfIP)mmoBQqqvsLjY!~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqR,!joFCfIP)mmoBQqqvsLjY!~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16h,!)!E9s2fD)HvBQqq34NJc!~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16h,!)!E9s2fD)HvBQqq34NJc!~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqR,!q4FCTecKOmRBQqq)bO3DQ~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqR,!q4FCTecKOmRBQqq)bO3DQ~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqV,!q0FBgMUBoKuBQqqz0cGhg~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqV,!q0FBgMUBoKuBQqqz0cGhg~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16VHJGkE9no8h,l2BQqq5w8fc!~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16VHJGkE9no8h,l2BQqq5w8fc!~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqNHJFQFC,q4rg8NBQqq+YDPz!~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqNHJFQFC,q4rg8NBQqq+YDPz!~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqZ,!lQFBhn!)5nMBQquFREDNQ~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqZ,!lQFBhn!)5nMBQquFREDNQ~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16J,!)0E9s37FbcFBQquIRHtu!~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16J,!)0E9s37FbcFBQquIRHtu!~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqZ,!hoFBsOTfOoOBQquLn,nRg~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqZ,!hoFBsOTfOoOBQquLn,nRg~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16NHJI!E9qSO8GUrBQqq687rww~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16NHJI!E9qSO8GUrBQqq687rww~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqVHJC0FC!PN+sveBQquOjlfTg~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqVHJC0FC!PN+sveBQquOjlfTg~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqZ,!jgFB9U1tOzYBQqq9J(65Q~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqZ,!jgFB9U1tOzYBQqq9J(65Q~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqJHJDYFCC5idK9JBQqr!YrFpw~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqJHJDYFCC5idK9JBQqr!YrFpw~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqRHJDYFCDTOHUknBQqrGLtTrg~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqRHJDYFCDTOHUknBQqrGLtTrg~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqJ,!p4FCL9z(NeRBQqrB3Frgg~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqJ,!p4FCL9z(NeRBQqrB3Frgg~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqZ,!h4FCTIw3)2mBQqrH)mjZQ~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqZ,!h4FCTIw3)2mBQqrH)mjZQ~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqZ,!gwFCd(Cbn,,BQqrDT!6!Q~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqZ,!gwFCd(Cbn,,BQqrDT!6!Q~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqFHJC0FCBJ7bUM,BQqrE0qEWw~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqFHJC0FCBJ7bUM,BQqrE0qEWw~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16d,!ysE9sy0jKZDBQquW0!gsw~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16d,!ysE9sy0jKZDBQquW0!gsw~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16Z,!wsE9suwyQVdBQquiltKwg~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16Z,!wsE9suwyQVdBQquiltKwg~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqVHJCsFChZ9Kf13BQquZFQz3g~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqVHJCsFChZ9Kf13BQquZFQz3g~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16RHJIQE9qUHsjWjBQqume4Svg~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16RHJIQE9qUHsjWjBQqume4Svg~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16d,!)kE9s4,BM!tBQqu,n32,g~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16d,!)kE9s4,BM!tBQqu,n32,g~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqR,!rYFCMJrsT69BQqup+3kP!~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqR,!rYFCMJrsT69BQqup+3kP!~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16dHJGoE9nuQg2,6BQquebg!(g~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16dHJGoE9nuQg2,6BQquebg!(g~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqFHJEoFCdtL0KM5BQquvP8eBg~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqFHJEoFCdtL0KM5BQquvP8eBg~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16N,!)QE9s3HD)CvBQqufrghhQ~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16N,!)QE9s3HD)CvBQqufrghhQ~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16hHJHwE9n8ikMDPBQquwgf7N!~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16hHJHwE9n8ikMDPBQquwgf7N!~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqRHJDYFCDTOHUknBQqqnrq4qQ~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqRHJDYFCDTOHUknBQqqnrq4qQ~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqJ,!qgFBZ2!fUPvBQqubrT1,!~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqJ,!qgFBZ2!fUPvBQqubrT1,!~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16dHJGoE9nuQg1kgBQqvGPTPF!~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16dHJGoE9nuQg1kgBQqvGPTPF!~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqVHJEIFCdM5o,4MBQquspfjSg~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqVHJEIFCdM5o,4MBQquspfjSg~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16NHJHQE9nzE)jsvBQqvD3SD0g~~_5.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16NHJHQE9nzE)jsvBQqvD3SD0g~~_16.JPGhttp://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqN,!pk

Hello and thank you for looking at my auction. My name is Joe and I sell vehicles differently than most dealers. Buying your next vehicle through one of my NO RESERVE auctions is the best way to take the games out of your next automotive purchase. I personally road test each vehicle before it is offered for sale so I can give you my first hand opinion of how it runs and drives. Please keep in mind that I am neither a mechanic nor do I operate an auto service facility. Each vehicle is represented accurately and honestly to the best of my knowledge and ability. Please take the time to read this entire description, read my terms & conditions and review each of the photos closely BEFORE asking questions and BEFORE placing a bid. An administrative fee of $149 will be added to the final bid of each auction.
Up for a NO RESERVE auction today is a Pontiac Grand Am SE coupe with the rare manual transmission. This Pontiac comes to us as a new car trade from a large high end dealership in Lancaster County. I would rate the exterior of this vehicle to be in AVERAGE CONDITION for the age and mileage of this unit. As you can see, this is a good looking vehicle. It is finished in a medium blue with charcoal interior. Aside from some fading on the exterior plastics (which is common with GM products), the exterior of this Pontiac shows quite well. There are no noteworthy dents, scratches or scuffs on the exterior of this vehicle. All of the body panels line up evenly and open/close properly. The wheel covers are in great condition. The tires show average tread all around. All of the glass and lenses appear to be intact. It has a current PA safety and emissions inspection.
I would rate the inerior condition of this Pontiac to be AVERAGE for the age and mileage of this vehicle. The door panels are clean and tight. The button that adjusts the power mirrors is missing. The power locks work properly. The carpets are clean. The seats are clean and comfortable. The drivers sun visor is torn at the corner but still operable. The headliner is clean and tight. The trunk is spacious plus the rear seats fold for additional storage room. The original owners books are included as well as two keys. The stereo has been upgraded to a CD player which sounds good. The climate control system appears to be working properly, too. The air conditioner blows cold air.
Mechanically, this Pontiac appears to be in good running and driving condition. The 2.4L gas sipping four cylinder engine starts easily and idles smoothly. I have not seen any leaks and the engine does not smoke. The suspension on this Grand Am feels nice and tight as it should. The steering is neutral and responsive. The brakes bring this coupe to a stop with absolutely no issues. Out on the highway, this car cruises nice and smooth with no complaints. The engine makes good power and gets great fuel economy, too. The only complaint I have is that there is apparently a small vacuum leak in the intake which I can't find. I can hear it hissing but I don't have the proper diagnostic machine to locate the leak. A smoke machine (which most garages have) would pin down the location of the leak in a matter of minutes. It is most likely a little rubber vacuum hose that has gotten brittle with age and has cracked. Sometimes the car with jerk under more than half throttle because of this. If you keep a relatively light foot, you'll never feel it. Again, this is a minor annoyance that can be solved in minutes with the proper tool and fixed for probably a few bucks. I have personally driven this vehicle in excess of 300 trouble free miles. Please bid with confidence. I would drive this car anywhere without a second throught. The engine keeps a perfectly cool temperature at all times. The clutch engages smoothly and does not slip or chatter. Gear changes through the manual transmission are smooth and precise. With just over 100k miles, this Pontiac is barely broken in. This is the same engine used in the sporty Cavalier Z24 and is known to go well into the 200k range with proper care. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

If contact has not been established and arrangments are not made within 4 days of auction close, we reserve the right to open an unpaid item case with eBay and sell the vehicle to someone else.
Vehicle Pick-up:
Arrangements must be made in advance to pick up a vehicle. We do not have regular hours, we operate by-appointment. We are very flexible and accomodating with days and times to pick-up, but must have advance notice or there is a very real possibility you or your shipper may arrive and nobody will be at our facility.
Accepted Payment Methods:
Vehicle will be immediately available for pick up if paid by cash in person. Payments made by wire transfer, check (cashiers or personal), or money order will be subject to verification of funds by my bank. The vehicle and title will be held until all funds have been cleared by my bank and made available for withdraw.
Paypal is not accepted for payment. This includes Bill Me Later.
All vehicles shall be removed within 14 days of auction's end. Any vehicle left longer than 14 days without arrangements being made prior to the end of the auction will be subject to a storage fee of $10/day.
Bid Retractions/Changes:
We take selling vehicles on eBay very seriously. In the event of any bid retraction or bid change, it shall be the right of the seller to honor or not honor the outcome of the auction. This descision will be made at the sole discretion of the seller and can be made at any time while the auction is live or after the auction closes regardless of any circumstance. Additionally, any member who changes or withdraws a bid may be permanently barred from bidding on future auctions.
The seller may, at its sole discretion and for any reason deemed appropriate, cancel any bid or restrict any member from bidding on current and future auctions.
By placing a bid on any of our auctions, each bidder asserts that they have read and agree to our entire terms & conditions as well as eBay's terms & conditions. Additionally, each bidder enters into a binding contract to purchase the item they are bidding on should they be the successful bidder. By placing a bid on any of our auctions, each bidder asserts that they understand the risks of purchasing a used vehicle and have fully excercized their ability to complete any diligence needed prior to placing their bid. Please understand that each vehicle we sell is being sold exactly as it was traded, unless otherwise noted in the written description. The written description we provide is based soley on our observations of the vehicle during our road test and should not be taken as any kind of official mechanical inspection done by a certified inspection mechanic. We offer a unique way of purchasing a car but it does carry additional risk to the buyer when compared to buying a vehicle from a retail dealership that has been inspected and may carry a warranty. Please consider this when you decide if buying from us is something you feel comfortable with. We try to eliminate as much risk as possible for our buyers but cannot offer reconditioned, inspected vehicles for sale with NO RESERVE PRICE. We are happy to answer any questions from prospective buyers regarding our business or specific vehicles listed for sale and aim to make buying from us as trouble free as possible.
Fee and Tax Information: The only fee added by the seller is our $149 administrative fee. This is used to isolate our fixed expenses such as eBay fees, transportation, processing, ect., and is not applied to any transfer costs incurred by the purchaser. The purchaser is responsible for any and all costs associated with transfer of ownership including, but not limited to: registration, sales tax, tags (including temp or in-transit tags), title transfer, inspection, and transportation expenses.
We are unable to complete any tag or title work, including temp tags, in-house, nor do we collect any sales tax or registration fees. There are Tag & Title locations nearby that can handle those tranactions. We will assist you in that process.
This auction is a legally binding contract to buy this vehicle. All vehicles are sold as-is unless otherwise specified. I have done my best to accurately describe this vehicle. It is up to the buyer to come see and further inspect the car before the end of the auction.-->
