were are the TS 3800

[Viala]

hi
I'm back to France after two weeks in New York, and my surprise is that I saw no Pontiac TS at all except one in a Junk yard in Coney Island.
Are those cars obsolete in US.
This travel was great, and now I 'm back and I would like to find the clue about my transmission problems.
So see you soon with some more questions

No clue about that in the USA, but here in QUebec, they are alive and highly desired, (when they show on used car lots, they are gone in days) mostly because road conditions here in winter, with extreme use of salt, take an heavy toll on cars with body rust, and this is non existent with the Transport/APV of then years(1990-1996). Plastic body TS and APV have no age signature...
Of course, salt does inflict corrosion of the under body, but rust preventives and some maintenance help retard that.

Same here in Central NY. I think I've only seen one or two in the past 5 or 6 years in the salvage yards that I frequent, and both were in bad accidents and not really salvageable. I still see tons of them on the roads in my area where other vehicles of that era are sitting in the salvage yards rusting away. Even my Ventures have more surface rust on them then the Transports/APVs of earlier years will ever have. Too bad more vehicles aren't built like that anymore.
