I appreciate it but, I don't think it is worth the drive. If it was real close, I'd say sure but that is a little much for a car I'm no longer interested in due to the odometer issue. If you happen to be in the vicinity of Brooks Motor Company in the next couple of days, outstanding. It is...

Thanks Bryan. The GN with the apparent odometer change out is in Columbia, IL. Is that pretty close to you? It would make me happy if the car was built with the wrong dash but, with Carfax reporting 70,405 miles in 1992 and 64,888 in Aug 2011, it looks like the dash being changed is more likely...

I'm going to look at a 1984 GN this evening - hopefully. I know the "Hot Air's" aren't quite up to the 86-87 models but, I love the interior and the only GN I've ever driven was a 1984m I loved it. Until I came here, I always thought the intercooler was added just to increase HP output. I didn't...

The Michigan GN could have ended up far worse. First, after sending him a $2,000 deposit, if he had cashed it, I might have had a difficult time getting it back. He is 75 years old so I dout it but, you never know. the really "far worse" part being I almost shipped the car. If that had shown up...

This past Sunday (25 Aug 2011) I traveled to Grand Rapids, MI to pick up a 1987 Grand National I had made a deal on. I had sent the seller a $2,000 deposit several days earlier. A couple of days before I left, I told the seller I would bring cash for the enitre amount if he didn't want to wait...

I'd love it but, sorry, I'm down in the $14-15K range and not having very good luck either. Good luck with the challenger purchase!

I posted this in another part of the forum to no avail, maybe this is the place to put it. Another member had suggested members from around the country become volunteers to look at cars, in their region, for other members. I thought this was a great idea but, as people did put their hat in...

Another reason I come to this website! I never thought about the RPO sticker, I'll keep it in mind. I went to pull permits for the basement I'm doing and, low and behold, a guy that works there hass an '87 GN and knows two people that are selling there's that haven't advertised. So, I've already...

Just an update on the 1987 GN I thought I was buying. It has been said here that the only way to buy one of these cars, or any car for that matter, is to see it in person. With that in mind, I will stay close to home in the Colorado Front Range area from now on. I flew to Grand Rapids Michigan...

Thanks! I fly out on the 25th to make the trip back home in my new GN. I was planning on having it transported since I didn't feel comfortable driving a car I'm not familiar with that far. The tranposrt agents kept stringing me along with one bid and then telling me it would likely cost more for...

I suggested something that would help in these situations in another area but never got a response. I belong to an RV club that has, on it's website, a map that can depict "get togethers," owners and type RV (without specific location), RV's for Sale, etc. They could use the same type of map...

My search is over. On Wednesday, my birthday, I will buy a 1987 Grand National after agreeing to price this evening.

I never heard back from anyone at turbobuicks.com about my idea to mkae a map of volunteers, get togethers, member location of cars for sale (general, not specific), etc. I've also never heard back for repeated requests for logon issues. I'm not sure if they'ere buried with emails or maybe my...

Having a car salesman for a father can definitely make an impression on a kid growing up. Somehow, out of four kids, my older brother sees cars as a means of transportation and nothing more. My older sister hates Buick's but she always had a strained relationship with our father and professed...
