After you actually find out what is wrong and the repair estimate then you can make that decision. I am not sure how anyone can make that choice for you without knowing the condition of the vehicle . ---

That is a good point and it wouldnt let me add the extra info for it. It also has 192k miles on it. and im just asking for a basic thought as to what people think because i heard it is an interference engine and those seem to have a lot of issues. ---

192K on a 13 year old G6 - or any car for that matter - time to walk away if the edtimate is more than, say $500. Every other major system has the same mileage and is not long for this world. ---

Thats what i was truly thinking but the nice thing is it is paid off, but obviously fix one issue and walk right into another one. ---

It looks like this one isn’t known for quality overall. It might be time to move it on down the road on the back of a flatbed. > **[2006 Pontiac G6 problems](https://www.carcomplaints.com/Pontiac/G6/2006/)** > > The 2006 Pontiac G6 has 2947 problems & defects reported by G6 owners.

What make you think it jumped timing?
