Right now there are 1,264 used Pontiac listings across 18 models, averaging $6,761. That average hides a 10.7-fold range — from the Sunfire at $2,300 to the Trans Sport at $24,500 — so the model you pick decides the price far more than the badge does.
Pontiac models on the market
A used Pontiac can mean almost anything: the Pontiac Trans Sport asks $24,500 at the median while the Pontiac Sunfire goes for $2,300 — a 10.7-fold spread under one badge, with the middle of the range around $4,600. Which is why the model matters more than the marque here — open the one you are shopping for. Supply counts too: with 1,264 listings across 14 models, a Pontiac with plenty of choice lets you walk away from a bad car.

Buying a Pontiac from a dealer or an owner
Comparing the same model year on both sides — 5 years of listings, 274 from dealers and 486 private — a dealer-sold Pontiac asks 12% more than one sold privately, 1.12× at the median. That premium buys reconditioning, a warranty in some states and paperwork someone else handles; whether it is worth it depends on how much of that you would rather do yourself.
Drawn within each model year on purpose — a flat comparison would put the Pontiac dealer premium far higher, but only because dealer stock is younger, not because the markup is bigger.

How we count
All Pontiac figures on this page come from 1,264 live Pontiac listings — asking prices, not sale prices. Sellers ask more than they get, so treat these as the top of the range, not the bottom.
Percentages here are never plain averages: each listing is first turned into its ratio against the median for its own model year, and those ratios are averaged instead. Without that step the numbers lie confidently — average every Pontiac listing by seller and the dealer premium looks far bigger than the honest 12% above, purely because dealer stock is younger. Slices too thin to survive the test are dropped rather than dressed up with an error bar, which on Pontiac leaves 14 models standing out of the 18 tracked. The full method, with the traps it avoids →
