T types are just as nice and usually you can get a better deal on them then a Grand National, how much? How many miles?

If its a turbo regal limited............they are monsters in grandma's clothing with their pillow top bench seats and a column shifts. Very cool cars.
Try posting in the turbo lounge you will get lots of feedback.
Get some pictures of it, post them on the board and people will tell you what they would pay. -Nick.

hey 1quick yeah i have that the bench seat column shift , 3.8 turbo regal limited 87 miles i think he toldme the car has about almost 140k but the engine was re done. and hes sellin it to me for 4 g's

If its a nice car that isn't bad.......depends on how well it was cared for. Rust? How is the chrome? The limited's are cool cars. -Nick..

theres a small little bit of rust on the doors that is it it needs a paint job not horribly but still needs a paint job and new vynl on the roof (part hard top and part vynl on the roof)

I would make sure the tranny is going to hold up for sometime with a 140K on it. That can cost about $1600 to $2000 for a nice rebuild. I thought limited were pretty rare?? I would do search on that, see how many were built or maybe how much they go for. I know a nice limited can bring some nice money. $4K sounds about right for a 86/87 Turbo Regal with higher miles. At least the engine is done. Does he have reciepts? Just make sure you know what your getting into. These cars, well any car is going to be a money pit!! If the car is worth it to you, then that is all that matters. -Nick.

i think he told me they did the tranny when they did the engine but i took it for a drive already the tranny doesnt seem to slip or anything of this car im about to buy only 1,035 were made so i guess thats pretty rare. moon roof i think is kinda rare to it to but to me thats no biggie.

We paid 5k for one similar to what you described and about the same amount of miles. They are a nice car.
