You are in the Pontiac Solstice Forum. Your Host is claires
I have a 2007 Solstice automatic, and notice that every time I start it up and back out of the garage, a small trail of water is coming from somewhere underneath the right side, I believe in or near the engine compartment. This only happens when I start it (or at least when I notice it). Is this normal? I thought it may be coming from the a/c or evaporator? I'm not a mechanic, but before taking it to the shop, I thought someone would know what I might be talking about. Thanks.

I recently purchased a 2008 Solstice GXP. Unfortunately, I parked it a few weeks ago for the winter and will be driving my Aurora for the winter season here in Edmonton, Alberta. I have driven my dream car" fro only 2000 KMs. However, while everything about the car is as wonderful as i expe3cgted it to be, there are several engine noises that the dealer's performance staff have indicated is "normal' on may of the Solstice a and Sky' turbos and that after 15,000 or so kilometers the sound usually will fade away or lighten. There are more noises at start up than when the engine warms up. One is a clicking type of sound and the other is a like an old windup clock sound. Does anyone have the same type of sounds an dif so, have the y subsided over time? I'm also planning to installl some performance enhancements such as the Kappasphere cold Air Intake and KS1` Sports Exhaust which are to increase the HP by 30. Any suggestions for me as to the sound, torque and HP from the types of installations? John

hi i am about to buy a pontiac solstice 2007 convert. black automatic and they are asking for 19999. it has 17thousand miles. with 17in chrome rims. I live in las vegas nv.. Do you think it is a good price? I kbb it and it came out to be 22000. I have a trade in it is a 2001 gt mustang ford that has 91 thousand miles they are going to take it but only give me $5000 on it. I was really pissed when they told me that. Also, i know there was a discussion on warranty i have no idea what to get as well.. I desperatly need some advice. My plan is to buy it tommorrow but i want to make sure i am making the right choice.

Replying to: jenniferwalker (Jan 06, 2008 10:54 am) Because it has an included GM 100,000 powertrain warranty an all vehicle warranty past 36K should be reasonable? |

Replying to: jenniferwalker (Jan 06, 2008 10:54 am) you can get a better deal searching for the GMPP extended warranty plan on line vs your dealer as well if you are interested in that... |
