What do owners do if their car has been discontinued? One thing owners can do is to keep the repair manuals handy, because as the car continues to age, parts will fail, and it may be important to be able to review the types of parts needed in advance.

Take, for instance, the Pontiac Sunfire. Fifteen years ago, in 1995, the Sunfire replaced the Sunbird as Pontiac’s compact car. The Sunfire could be purchased in a variety of forms — a sedan, a coupe, or a convertible. These cars were constructed in Lordstown, Ohio (up until 2004) and in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico . The convertible models were constructed in Lansing, Michigan . Sunfire production ended, though, on June 22 in 2005.

Priced at 11,500 U.S. dollars, the Sunfire sold over 36,000 vehicles in the U.S., while 33,724 cars were sold in Canada in 2004. With over 69,000 Sunfire owners on the road, and with the discontinuation of the model, it’s become more important for these owners to check out a Pontiac Sunfire Repair Manual .

As 2010 closes, even more Pontiac vehicles will be retired as GM intends to phase out the brand by the close of the year, choosing to emphasize four other core brands in North America: Cadillac, Buick, Chevrolet, and GMC. With discontinued vehicles, parts for repairs will become even harder to find, although a look at the Pontiac repair manual should help these owners find the required part.
