From GM's Excitement Division: This very rare piece comes with a unique, ultra-configurable UTILITARIAN rear space. Some people would say "Sir, you have torn half the interior out of your car," to which i would respond, "you sir are a drunk AND your wife is a common harlot.

(Though it is true, the back seat and carpeting have been removed- but lets get to that later)

I am the original owner and purchased this 2003 Grand Am in June of 03. It is Fusion orange color with the SCT appearance package, 4-door, V6, auto, loaded, leather seats and moonroof (it's a window to the MOON, Brother!). That same year i bought it i was in a mild accident and had it repaired by the dealer, which i must declare, in the name of honesty. The car has never left me stranded and has always performed flawlessly. Current mileage is 125,000ish and it comes with the quickness! (it ain't slow)

COSMETIC

Exterior of this thing is all over the place. Looks great from 20 feet, especially with the tinted windows and black rims. yeah It's got some scratches, bumps in bruises but that's because it's from the streets and *** is real in the streets. Rust? Hell no we ain't go no rust. In fact i'd say it's freakishly rust-free underneath for midwest car.

MECHANICAL
I'm OCD about preventive car maintenance and since the warranty expired a few year back I've replaced:

Both front wheel bearings (60k miles)
Upgraded to braided stainless brake lines and K&N Drop in (25k)
Starter (went bad)
Battery (Couple year ago?)
Struts (100k)
Plugs, Wires (100k)
Brake Rotors (most recently at 100k)
Radiator flush (120k)
Trans Flush (75k)
Oil (every 5k)
Pads (every 20k)
Also, BRAND NEW WHEELS ($500!) three months ago

But that's not the best part: ACT NOW and receives these free UPGRADES!
-Tinted windows in the rear so no one can see your wicked collection of stuff
-Bazooka Bass Tube tied to factory radio (with control knob up front)
-Electric Analog oil pressure gauge to replace shoddy oil pressure light
-Scan tool ( http://www.aeroforcetech.com/products_interceptor.html ) monitors real time vehicle data and reads/clears trouble codes. In Dual-pod A-pillar mount with Oil pressure.
-All red interior gauges/lighting make it look like the inside of the space shuttle at night.
-Modified stock Stereo to accept line-in for iPod, etc
-Hard wired for Sirrius satellite receiver. (Dock, antenna, power, etc all plumbed, you provide the unit)
-Stock wheels refinished, painted flat black 3 months ago, holding up to wear perfectly (stockers were corroding and not holding air so i polished, painted and finished them when i got the new tires)


Now remember, this is an extra special, HIGH UTILITY Grand Am. Rear interior removed (Carpet, seats, dead weight and volumetric-storage-stealing junk!) Now it's a high-capacity work vehicle in the back, sports sedan up front and all orange on the outside. Kind of like a FWD El Camino... with a topper. (All original interior pieces included... and i guess i could put it back together if you really wanted, or you could build a wicked system, fill the back with particle board and listen to the hippity hop? The possibilities are really endless.)

Also, because it ain't drive by wire or made by Toyota, your chances of fiery death are greatly reduced!**
(**Seller not responsible for your actual chances of fiery death. The Grand Am offers no protection implied or otherwise from flesh-eating Ogres )

Conclusion: it's reliable, it's handy, it looks nice (on the outside) and it's had all it's shots. Prices for Grand Ams seem to be all over the place so shall we say $4500 or make an offer? (also, i know you're eager to trade away your late 80's 325ix, ASSEMBLED 1stgen TSi or built st205 All-trac but anything less I'll be graciously declining)
