2006 Pontiac Solstice Convertible

2006 Pontiac Solstice Convertible For consignment, a 2006 Pontiac Solstice Convertible with a title verified 35,745 miles. Over a four year run, 2006 through 2009, 65,704 Solstices were built with just 21,273 in 2006. Early press for the car was overwhelmingly positive. Car and Driver continues, The Solstices steering effort builds in a smooth, even crescendo. Turn the wheel, and the chassis takes an arc as if its reading your mind. Note: This vehicle has an open recall, NHTSA Recall ID 17V061000 Exterior Our roadster is covered in Dark Tarnished Silver Metallic which is a long way of saying dark gray and in profile, big 18-inch wheels fill the openings with 245/45R18s which provide a contact patch that early British roadsters werent even thinking about yet. And these tires have an early 2024 date code. The rear is a unique design where components sweep forward including the high mounted tail lights and fairings which end at the flat rear window flanked by the flying buttresses of the black canvas top. As if pulled up by those elements, the rear valance has a decidedly butt up attitude with reverse lights deep set in cylindrical coves and a wind splitting grille which makes room for a single chrome exhaust tip. Pontiacs historic use of hexagons shows up as obvious Easter eggs on the car, both on that rear splitter and on the two sided grille and the light configuration in front is a clear lensed version of the back, just a bit lower to the ground for aerodynamics. A few dings and a few scuffs along with chin scrapes means you can drive this car without being the cause for its first blemish. Interior Smooth black door panels have concave inserts which not only forms an elbow rest, but provides some elbow room in this cozy cabin. Soft leather bucket seats are in good shape, with a bit of compression on the drivers side, but good side support on both. Even if this isnt the fastest car on the road, the designers made every effort to hide that as the cockpit is racy and uncomplicated with chrome rimmed white faced gauges in the drivers sightline and smooth gray plastic surface that cascade down the center stack where a flush mounted AM/FM/CD radio resides under three climate control knobs. A handle for the passenger gives a little Vette vibe to the cabin and flanks a short shifter with black leather boot. Charcoal carpet covers the floor protected by fitted and carpeted mats. Drivetrain Shrouded under a large black plastic cover is the 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine putting out 177 ponies and mated to an Aisin 5-speed manual that sends power to the back with 3.90 gears. The bay is clean and the hood insulator shows typical discoloration. Power disc brakes are front and rear. Undercarriage Clean, driver quality conditions are found underneath where there is some surface rust in the typical untreated areas, some general road dust, but no errant fluids or corrosive rust of any kind. The single exhaust still works its way through an original equipment muffler before exiting and suspension is composed of independent SLA, (double wishbone), both front and back. Drive-Ability Top up, were a GTP prototype, top down and were a Formula One car. No matter how you wear the top, the simple and sporty interior gives you the energy of a world class driver. The fuel injection delivers instant dino juice to the engine and we smoothly shift into first and take this Poncho onto the loop where it performs as wed expect a car of the 21st century to do and with such low miles, every functional item on the car worked as it should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. Heliophysics is the study of the sun, the largest object in the solar system or as we learned as kids, a giant star. Well, youre going to have fun studying the sun in your new Solstice and youre going to be the big star of the neighborhood when you come rolling up the street with the top down. But dont do it for them, do it for the light years of fun you and your passenger are going to have, even if thats only on the weekends, in this bit of uncommon ingenuity from the designers at General Motors! 1G2MB33B46Y106119 1-USA G-General Motors 2-Pontiac MB-Solstice 3-2 Door Convertible 3-Manual Belts, Front & Side Airbags B-2.4 L 4 Cyl 4-Check Digit 6-2006 Y-Wilmington De Assy Plant 106119-Sequential Unit Number Classic Auto Mall is home to more than 1,000 classic and collectible vehicles for sale via consignment in a climate controlled 336,000-square foot showroom (thats more than 8 acres!).
