1987 Grand National 1 Owner Excellent Condition

[ZOOM ZOOM]

I personally appreciated the comments from the so called experts before I purchased so I knew what I was spending was in the ballpark. Thanks guys for chiming in.

BTW, they do sell custom fit floor mats for these cars you know.

It seems lately in this forum that if people don't agree with a person's price on his car that ALL they want to do is criticize if it doesn't have this or that. The market will dictate if his car sells or not,not a bunch of SO CALLED EXPERTS!!!!!!!!!

Mr Parks, What is your point? "so called experts" This guy joined this fourm with no other reason than to sell his car. We point out whats wrong and what needs done. Why is that so upsetting to you? Lack of wheel well trim will cost a new owner about $500.00 to replace. Did you know that? How long have you owned a turbo Regal? I ordered mine and watched it come off the truck. I know every inch of my car.

BTW the fender emblems are high. Should be lower on the fender.

You know Mr Parks, I was going to respond to the post you made in the $45k GNX thread but declined.

I know an individual that looked in person at the $45k GNX and I have a list of problems with the car...... NOT listed in his ad... that is deception from the buyer not listing that in his ad. But yet YOU defended him and kicked the board members in the nuts for calling him out.

Here you are again kicking board members and defending a car I bet 99% that you have never seen in your life or even know the seller. What an ass that makes YOU look like.

I guess you are from the "show me State"

This car appers nice in the paint, we are just telling him what potential buyers want to see.

and Yes, having owned 5 GN's all under 20k origional miles and a TTA under 20k origional miles, I and others do know what we are talking about..... experts no,,,,, damn knowledgable buyers YES!

Cheers!

Not all of us in the "show me State" are bad.:biggrin: ( I am just a transplant)

By the way there is a little more wrong with the GNX that is not being disclosed. Not that I wouldn't purchase the car...just not for the asking price.

 

[insane_v6]

does 9500.00 sound about right ???

annoying....

It's funny how I look at a lot of classifieds because I am in the market for something. They all seem to go well except TB.Com. It's the only site that every thread the owner gets an "education" about what his car is NOt worth. In my outside opinion if your not interested in purchasing the car or giving a compliment than why post. Your stepping on a mans toes while he's trying to sell his car. Suppose he has a family to feed and needs that money? Does it help for you to de-value his sale??? Does a dirty undercarrage really devalue a car? a dirty engine compartment??? C'mon now, It would give me something to do when I bought it.
If I was interested in this guys car I would go look at it in person and decide if I , the buyer with the money, feels like it's worth the asking price. But after reading from a guy with a 2700 post TB.com education that the seller is crazy for asking that much it just turns me away from the thread.

And that is why the market is down on these cars.

It helps to be a little humble when posting a car on here... dont list a bunch of 19 year old ATR gizmos like RAM AIR and think I will bite but if folks wernt here chiming in..someone whos new might not know and bite

Last

Who are you to judge his ad. Are you interested in his car? No,you just want to trash him. I don't think buyers need you to be their "EXPERT"!!!!!!!
They can make a decision without you!!!
Reading his ad,he didn't ask for opinions about his car,just that it is for sale.

 

[RED LS1]

I just don't get it.

Picture this,

You're standing in your driveway showing your nice and clean GN to a potential new owner. Your running down a list of things that you have added such as aftermarket fuel and air upgrades.

Then BOOM....

A man pops out from behind a bush. He gets right between you and your potential buyer and says, wait a minute, you shouldn't mention to him that this was a fast production car. You shouldn't mention that is has ATR parts because there outdated, you shouldn't....blah blah blah.....
"In fact, sir(potential buyer), this car isnt really worth what this guy is asking. I've read threads on TB.com that seemed like better deals."

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't act like that in person so why do it on a FS ad on the net???

You ought to go back to your previous car people. You fit right in with them!!!!!!!!

 

[Lou19]

This is all I had to see to make my assessment - I guess the Bat signal is missing it's overlay, and the floor mats speak volumes....

 

[Ashtony]

That is one hawt car man, Its worth the price just for the looks and performance.

 

[CST 03]

For all you douters out there: I purchased this car 2 wks ago from the original owner. It is well worth the $$$ I paid for it. While I didn't pay the orginal asking price or anywhere near it, the car is very clean and runs perfectly. It has NO leaks anywhere (which i know is suprising for these cars). The interior and exterior are an 8 out of 10. The undercarraige/frame just has surface rust and will clean up nicely. Floor boards are in great shape too.

Trust me when I tell you folks. I looked for 3 months, everyday, on every CAR FOR SALE SITE imaginable, and this was the one that was the best for the $$$. Alot of GN's for sale out there are a JOKE (P.O.S's) for the price peeps are asking. While this car needs just a little T.L.C, there were alot worse out there I could have bought for thousands more $$$.
I have already ordered and installed a couple of new parts for it, lowered the fender emblems, spun the tires around (NO more raised whites) etc, etc.

BTW. The prevoius owner was a stand up guy and waited patciently while I got the $$ together.

Sorry, for digging this old thread up! Just had to shut some of you Jag-offs up. LOL
