FWIW & IMHO:
Although the values of all of the late model Buick and pontiac turbo cars has increased significantly in the last year, and especially in the last quarter of that year, I don't believe that the pecking order of these cars will change any. Let's see; Starting at the top and working our way downwards:
1. GNX
2. TTA hardtop
3. GN hardtop/astroroof
4. turbo-t hardtop/t-type hardtop/TTA t-top
5. turbo-t & t-type t-tops
where in the hell do the various moonroofs go?

Only my personal opinion, but I would like to hear others

As with most purchases, the vehicle is worth what YOU are willing to pay. You know your own finances and how the car will be used better than anyone. Mid 20's for a daily driver is unrealistic, but for a long term(10+yrs) purchase it not totally unreasonable. Also, knowing and trusting the previous owner and vehicle history is immeasurable, in my humble opinion. I have never owned a TTA, but never understood why they do not hold value to a comparable GN. On paper anyway, they are a better car, just ask anyone who has had a panic stop in a GN- it is a white knuckle experience! Best of Luck Kevin

Thanks for the continued support and advice guys - the Owner just returned from Florida, where he is moving to.....saw the car in the driveway for the first time in 4 months last night.

Its "Time" to have that conversation......

As to the TTA's less than stellar value - the only thing that comes to my mind is its "Bastard Child" pedigree when looked at from a firm entrenchment a either a Team Buick or Team Pontiac viewpoint.

Ignoring that.....the car more than stands on its own merits.

I would not be bying it as a daily or frequent driver.... but make no mistake, it would get driven (prolly 1,000 miles/yr) if I bought it. For me, thats what its all about.
