Used Car of the Day: 2006 Pontiac GTO
The reborn Pontiac GTO should've been a rousing success for General Motors, but alas, it wasn't.
Still, it wasn't a bad car -- the failure had more to with marketing, Pontiac's overall struggles, and not making a few small adjustments to a car brought over from Down Under.
If this Aussie turned American appeals to you, as it does to me, you can get your mitts on this 2006 Pontiac GTO.
This Minnesota-based ride is up for sale for $27,000. It's a manual and one of only 475 produced with this build combo.
It's stock with no mods and our seller says it's been garage kept and never seen snow. The miles are low at 28K.
It appears the only flaw is a faulty driver's-door lock actuator.
If you're interested in this ride -- and I would be -- give it a look-see here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.
