Hello all,
My name is Theo and im a proud owner of a Pontiac Bonneville SE from 1996, with 189K KM.
It does have a few problems like the blinkers and turn signal doesnt work (still searching for the problem, fuses
are good so are the bulbs), and when i brake hard the car shakes a little (probably the brake disk).
Its not the most economical car in the Netherlands, with almost 2 euros for 1 liter gas (9.35 dollar for a gallon!).
But i love it, it drives amazing, thousand times better than my previous car (Nissan primera).
I probably wont post alot but ill read alot hehe.
Theo

Is it just me or is that 92-95 Bonne?
Anywho, I love it! Favorite color on those Bonne's. Used to have one just like it.
Welcome to the club!

It is a Euro spec model, maybe the years for styling changes were different, or didn't occur, for euros?

The car registration papers say its from 2 october 1996 :p
Maby you think its from 92-95 because of the blinkers in the Headlights?

Noooo, 96 was a COMPLETELY different body cladding setup, among other things. Was the car registered in 96? It could still maybe be a 95, just a late build or something. Google a 96-99 Bonneville SE or search the "your ride" section on here, you'll see differences immediately. Not just Euro vs. US differences.

Hmmmm you are right. But some pictures are the same like mine, and some pics are different. Like the little front grill in the hood, and the tail lights. How can i make sure in what year my car is made?

Those headights look sweet. It's a shame you didnt get the flip up rear view mirrors.(as far a I could tell)
That's definitely a pre 96 SE Bonneville.

Google your VIN and you'll likely find something that says what year it is.

Those headlights were Euro-spec Bonneville exclusive.
Welcome to the club! You have one clean looking ride! Nice to see that there are some still over on the other side of the pond
