Pics of my latest bonneville

[jradke61]

Just picked this 05 SLE up for $2700. 119,000 miles. No rust. Not even the usual gas cap/door area as you can see. It did have a dent in the lf fender but came with another that`s silver but not the same silver. I'll paint it myself

hi, very nice!! - if the dent did not affect the paint, it can be pulled out easily and no need to paint

[nos4blood70]

Looks great

[jradke61]

Thanks. I think he could've got another $1000 easy. The dent was too much to repair. That is the replacement in the pics.
I'll get some interror and engine bay pics shortly.

Silver with the tan is interesting. Can't say I've seen another one like it.

[jradke61]

Me either. Tan isn't my favorite but it looks good.
The whole car is quite clean. Carpet was a little dirty as you can see but I just finished cleaning it. Under the hood is excellent and there was a small hole drilled inside the gas door. Hence no rust whatsoever there or anywhere. Not even the undercarriage.
119,000 is pretty low mileage for an 05 too.
He was asking $3000 and I would've paid it. Talked him down to $2700 on the phone and he picked up the fender on the way to the meet halfway. I had committed to the buy beforehand.
Not crazy about the wheels but I can always paint or pick up something else. Tires and brakes are new.
The engine bay was so clean I put the shine on it after removing the cover.
There are a couple annoying typical issues like a rear suspension creak I haven't been been able to pin point and the DIC goes out occasionally and requires a tap on the dash to come back on.
Also occasionally the tranny does a hard shift. I'm going to drop the pan and clean it and change the filter to start with.
Other than that no other issues.

Very nice and clean looking!
If you drop the transmission pan to change the fluid and filter you should install a Transgo 4T65E shift kit.
You can pick one up off of E-Bay for about $35.00.
I put one in my 2000 SLE and if shifts a lot better.

[jradke61]

Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely do that!

Those are my favorite wheels actually, my 05 SLE came with chrome ones but I traded them for the silver 5 spokes. Good find and deal also.

[jradke61]

Thanks. Yeah they're kinda growing on me. Look like they belong on that car too. So does the GXP wheel tho
