    2001 PONTIAC AZTEK AWD SUPERCHARGED SRV
    2001 Pontiac Aztek AWD Supercharged SRV Showcar concept from the GM Heritage Collection. 1 of 1 in the world. Only 7k miles, built for the Detroit auto show by GM, resided in the GM Heritage collection until now...own a piece of functonal history...this one of one concept features multi stage paint, 1 off stainless accents, 4 wheel crossed drilled disc brake rotors, custom 18" wheels, Custom Stainless side, front and roof racks accents, tinted glass, road lamps, custom interior, 3.4 litre with Supercharger, All Wheel Drive, AM FM CD and Cassette ait cruise and tilt...be the only one in the world, GM spent 100's of thousands having these 1 off show car built, one this one for a fraction of that.

    Price: $54,900.
    Seems reasonable for a one-off factory show car.
    There are no old Porsches - just new owners.

    It looks good for an Aztek, which isn't saying much. $54,900 is pretty steep though.

    It's strange that it's so cheap looking and not really cool. 2001 was still the days of John Moss being in GM's skunk works, and most of his vehicles were bad a$$ including this Chevy extreme outfitted with a blown vette motor.

    But they will... they will... once they have all been crushed after being beaters for a decade, they will become so rare that they will become very valuable. They may even go for like 5 grand.

    i will say this these cars have a weird cult following, i have a friend who sold hers for $8,000, and said some of the rare colors go for as much as $12,000

    seems so weird but i guess since they only made a small number of them it makes sense

    I'm just saying, it's like making fun of Comic Sans...it's low hanging fruit, and done to death. We can do better.

    I loathe the Aztek, but even I wouldn't pass on the Ultimate that was built.

    Somewhere on an Aztek forum people are going nuts, the holy grail of Azteks is for sale! The 1% of the population that love those vehicles REALLY love them.

    Not even close. Miatas have a huge worldwide following, which is why they are still in production. All the people that really love Aztecs already bought them. And now they just trade hands amongst each other.
    I love cars, but the problem is they are like schroedinger's hobby. They're always in a quantum superstate of being both awesome and a huge waste of time and money... until observation momentarily forces them into one state or another.
