Budget J-Body: 1999 Pontiac Sunfire
How much cold hard cash would you pay for a low-mile example of a bargain bin budget plastic box like a used Pontiac Sunfire with only 54K miles on the odo? The miles aren’t low enough to make this a trailer queen, but uggg…a Pontiac Sunfire? The Sunfire, in case you’ve been fortunate enough to forget about it, was a J-Body rebadge of the 3rd gen Chevy Cavalier sold from 1995 through 2005. It is easily mistaken for a Saturn SC, but if you look close enough you can find all of Pontiac’s trademark body cladding pieces. However, today’s Sunfire has a low enough asking price that it could be worth the money if you want a simple car with a mechanical key (instead of a stupid keyfob), a manual gearbox, and a functioning cigarette lighter. Find this 1999 Pontiac Sunfire offered for $2850 in Lakewood, CA via craigslist.

Styling isn’t far off from the same era Firebird. I’m not sure how, but maybe there’s a way to turn this into a sleeper with hidden performance mods.
I wish schools would emphasize the importance of punctuation again. It’s exhausting reading CL/FB ads.
“…LS four-cylinder…”
“…roll up windows fall down…”
Is it so difficult to use commas?
