Pros: "Looks pretty but looks dont get you around."

Cons: "I am completly stranded an no moremoney."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"Upon test drive. Really nice. I drove it for 3 days and it quit running. We have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, pressure regulator, relays,starter,battery, and have checked and rechecked everything to do with the fuel and starting system. Still will not start. I paid $2100.00 it had 181K and looked beautiful. Found out heads had been pulled and had been wrecked. Have been and still am stranded. I have put an extra $800.00 into it. I am so broke now after putting every single dime I had saved into it. What do I do? Cant sell it cant trade it and still it wont start. This is the worst thing that has ever happened. Can anyone help here? It would be appreciated."

"I have owned this 1997 Pontiac Transport Montana for over 8 years(bought it from an elderly family friend)at 59,000 miles. I have traveled cross country with it for many family and sporting events and have really enjoyed owning this vehicle. I recently purchased a 2005 model and am happy with it so far. I hope to continue to purchase another one when I need to upgrade the newer one."
