Yes Im 17 years old. This is my first car, and I don't understand why there's only about 4 Bonnevilles on here..? Whats wrong with them? I got mine for 900$ and had 64,000 miles on it so of course i jumped on that bargain.

Nothing! they just arent as popular as the 2dr cars...but I like em! 4drs are cool...and make great sleepers.. :mrgreen:
 
I think they just haven't gained the popularity that the other g cars have? Your guess really is as good as mine. Nice ride though for only being 17. I was 17 when I bought my 442 in 2008.
 
I like mine!

What are some good websites for parts man ?

All depends on what you need.

The forum sponsors all offer great products & support, especially for performance and handling improvements.

For regular maintenance items, http://www.rockauto.com offers a lot of items for our cars, and right now there are MANY items on "closeout" discount.

The forum classifieds always have interesting possibilities. 😀

I've also found my local parts stores can often meet or beat online prices when you compare the total cost, including shipping. (Auto Value, NAPA, etc)

4 doors aren't usually nearly as popular as 2 doors...so since there were no 2 door Bonneville G bodies...there you go.

Like jmt455 said....I like mine.

jmt455 and Ribberdroof I have to say, being a wagon guy, I love both of your wagons! 8)

To the OP, like was mentioned, 4 doors are not as popular. However, there is a following for them and I was actually contemplating buying someones Bonneville G-body before I found my Grand Prix. Before I could talk to him though, he sold it to someone else. I was a little let down since you don't see that many, but glad I found my Grand Prix later on. The Bonneville had been sitting for a long time and probably would have been more work to get running vs my Grand Prix which runs and drives. Hope you enjoy her. :lol:
 
I don't know why the GBody Bonnevilles aren't popular, the best site I've found for H bodies is PontiacBonnevilleClub.com, all H bodies are welcome on this site.

Maybe GBody Bonnevilles don't have much Pontiac running gear under the badge engineered sheet metal, although H bodies have the Buick v6 under the hood.
