I went to the dealship and looked over the car in person. The owner of the dealership did tell me he bought it from an older guy in Minnesota who planned to restore the car. He apparently got too lazy or had too many projects so the car sat outside. All the beach towels were used to cover the interior. Despite the towels, the interior panels are faded so bad they're nearly white and no longer light gray. Bottom line...the car is really in need of a complete overhaul as you can tell from the pictures. The one thing good about the car is that all the body panels only have surface rust. I pulled one of the wheel well trim pieces off rear to look for rust and it was clean. As we talked about the car, I gave him my opinion about price and I said that if he got more the 4 grand I'd be shocked. He told me he had more in it than that and I told him he overpaid:biggrin:
He actually told me he was going to wash the car and put it on eBay for
$20K. I looked at him like this...
. I happen to bring my car with me that day and had the 2 side by side. For comparison purposes, I asked him if he had an interested party looking for a GN, would they spend $20K for yours or $16K for mine? He still didn't understand. Since I first saw the car in August, I have twice sent offers to him with no response.
