Well it's been a year..now here's what went wrong..
Well I've had my TA for about a year now, I've put about 6,600 miles on the car and I love it cause it's fast and fun but so far in the year I've owned it here's whats had to be fixed..
..brand new distributor plugs and wires, the previous two owners never changed the plugs so it was due for a tune up, I was having steering issues so I replaced the front tie rods and had it aligned, which was done after my transmission was rebuilt because it was slipping like crazy  besides those there have been just the usual liitle things to happen like my cd player not working right and replacing all four brakes since somebody screwed it up before me  and I'm not complaing here cause it's all worth it..plus what do ya expect from an 11 year old V8 that cost 6 grand? I'm just giving an update and letting anyone who's lookin to buy an idea of what to look out for   11 years old and still lookin good

YES! Exactly it's all worth it you changed the distributor, eh? I did the brakes and tie rods myself, but Pontiac did the distributor because I didn't have the time, and Multistate transmissions rebuilt the trans..

I'll just say to much but like I said I didn't have the time or skill at the time to do it myself..
