What I like about the Pontiac Bonneville is that it isn't a popular car and within a year of each year's release, it devalues a lot, and you can pick up one for not very much money, compared to cars that keep their value.

I bought a 2004 Bonneville with leather seats, cd player, lots of features, and 10,000 miles on it for $17,000 plus tax.

I love the power of the Bonneville transmission and V-6 arrangement. My drive is only 50 miles per day.

It is my third Bonneville and the thing you have to keep a watch on is the radiator water level. The engine gasket in some models wears out around 75,000 to 80,000 miles and can cause water to leak into the engine. They've corrected the design on newer years though.

Other than that it is a relatively trouble free car and will cost less to repair than a Japanese or European car.

Regards.
