Bizzare things ive seen people say when selling a bonneville

Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

Bizzare things ive seen people say when selling a bonneville

Post by djdani3l10 »

recently i particularly saw 2 pontiac bonneville GXPs for sale

the first the seller was convinced it was a special edition transformers model (yes the movie)


the second was convinced that there were only 4 GXPs in Canada

I never understood where people got this information from

feel free to share the weird things you saw

Yeah, I've seen many say it was turbo'd. And the special few that think they're selling a Grand Prix or Grand Am.

I like when I can tell they listed the car as the wrong year. Happen s far more often than you'd think. Or the wrong trim level.

I saw a listing titled "SUPER RARE MUSCLE CAR!" that had almost no information in it. Further inspection revealed it was a 1995 SE.

YES, WHEN i BOUGHT MY 2000 SSEi for 900 bones, the kid said it was turbocharged: I had to pop the hood and show him.
