If you purchase a new 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix you need auto insurance. Auto liability insurance is required in all 50 states. Although each state sets their own limits on how much insurance is needed for 2008 autos, these are only minimum limits and in most cases additional insurance coverage is needed if you don't want to have to pay additional expenses out of pocket in the event of an accident.
It is generally accepted among insurance agents that the state minimum policy limits are not enough. Most insurance professionals would agree for the average driver the best liability limits to have are 100 / 300 / 100. If you are going to buy a 2008 Grand Prix we recomend
300,000 per accident for bodily injury.
2008 Pontiac Grand Prix safety
Before you go on a trip in your new Pontiac Grand Prix do a quick lookover your new car. Unless you're very knowledgeable when it comes to auto repair and maintenance, it is best to have a mechanic inspect your Grand Prix before a long trip. However, there are a few inspections almost anyone can make,
Check hoses (to and from the radiator and the heater in all Pontiac's). If they are cracked, look dry-rotted, worn, or are bulging, replace them.
Check your battery. Clean off any buildup of electrolyte with a mixture of baking soda and water.
Check your tires for wear or damage.
Check fluid levels (oil, transmission, coolant, window washer, etc.)
Look under the car to see if there are any fluids leaking.
Make sure your spare tire is well inflated and the jack is in place. These tips can help make your next long trip in your new 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix a safe one.
