A couple things to keep in mind:

(1) The 2005 and 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GTOs are on Consumer Reports' 2008 list of Used Cars to Avoid.

(2) The Pontiac Grand Prix is on AutoOnInfo.net's list of Automobiles with a Worst Engine (with a score of -.75 on a scale of -1.00 to +1.00) with a Worst Overall Reliability.

(3) The Pontiac Grand Prix is on AutoOnInfo.net's list of Automobiles with a Worst Engine (with a score of -.50 on a scale of -1.00 to +1.00) with a Worst Overall Reliability.

(4) AutoOnInfo.net's detailed reliability and durability studies suggest that a typical 3-year-old Pontiac is as troublesome to own as a typical 27-year-old Honda and a typical 20-year-old Toyota.

(5) GM's Pontiac line has a 2008 Used Car Reliability Measure of -.51 on a scale of -1.00 to +1.00. For reference, the Hyundai line has a 2008 Used Car Reliability Measure of +.20, the Honda line, +.83, and the Toyota line, +.84.
