Not so fast, Steve.  I owned one and have no desire to ever own one again.

Extremely expensive to keep up and repair and part costs are just 
outrageous, and no more reliable than a Chevy.  I even bought a shop
manual 
so I could tell the dealer how to fix some of the problems I had with it.

I knew another owner.  He sold his while it was up on the lift at the
dealer 
for the umpteenth time and bought a Plymouth instead.

Oh, and a broken radio would probably cost about the same as buying a 
Pontiac to replace out of warranty.
