pontiac life span About how many miles does a pontiac run well at. would a used pontiac g6 or grand prix with about 50,000 miles still be able to last another 50,000 miles without much of a problem?

i love pontiac g6's. my friend has one, and the dealer said that it would last her a long time. i am pretty sure it could go anoter 50 or so thousand miles as long as it's been kept up into good shape and as long as YOU keep it in good shape when you get it. my friends had her pontiac for 2 years now and hasn't given her any problems whatsoever. so i say go for it! ]
ill tell you this much: in my experience with cars and my time working on cars i know for a fact that there is no such thing as a bad car. some just need a little more work than others to keep happy. but the fact of the matter is if you change the oil, drive safe, don't race around constantly, and keep fuel in her, she should run fine for a good long time. the fact is if you take care of it you'll be fine for years.
now onto pontiac themselves. pontiac to me has never had an issue with quality or customer satisfaction. but the fact is they're not idiot proof. they're not the kin of cars you can do stupid things with. honda owners are people who do stupid things with their cars. they will drive and drive without changing the oil, without changing the oil filter, the sparkplugs, or anything else. but the fact is those cars are what i call idiot proof. honda builds such a simply designed engine on the most basic of setups and people can get away with murder on them because they don't know how to take care of a car. people can get away with neglect, and get away with just plain letting the car fall apart because they don't care anyways.
to me a car like that isn't a good choice, not because it wont last you, but because you wont learn anything about cars through it. all you'd learn is that you can get away with treating your car like crap. and that's not how it should be treated. i say get the pontiac, and i say take care of it, it will not let you down. and if you take good care of the car, well it'll also feel more rewarding to drive knowing you've put your time and effort into this machine. ]
