Is $8000 for a 87 Gn with 132,000 miles a good price? The paint is great and interior is mint. Nothing rebuilt... engine, trans and rear are stock.This hunt for a Gn is harder than I thought....
 
If there is no RUST,yes. Engines can be rebuilt and other mechanics can be fixed. Rust is the worst. Paint can be redone also. Look out for RUST!!!

no rust on the car... car was repainted about 2 years ago... looks great....
 
Maybe a little high, but still fair market value. Depends on how it performs (oil leaks, low boost, strange noises, trans shifts, etc) If the engine winds up taking a dump on you it can get expensive. For an unmolested car with a solid body and good mechanicals prices can swing anywhere from $700o to around 9500.
 
So it leaks alittle oil,you fix it. Tranny goes you fix it. You can fix things such as those. If that car is what you say it is and that's just high mileage with no rust that's not high that's, o.k.

You can't own a gn without spending more money on,in or around it. UNLESS,you plan on it sitting in a garage and talking about what's possible with it. God forbid!!!
 
I would pay that simply because the car has been driven. I would rather have a driven GN with higher miles on it than a low mileage one that has sat for years.

Call me stupid but I ended up with the latter of that statement. In the last six years my GN had been driven one thousand miles. Thats it, then it sat and sat and sat. I paid 10K for mine knowing full well I would need to do some tuning to it.

After replacing the full exhaust system, fuel pump, fuel filter, injectors, IC hose clamps, brakes, oil, coolant, tranny fluid, tires, intake cleaning (thats expensive), boost vacume line, cleaning an oil mist off of the IC hose, spark plugs, wires, EGR valve, and now a steering wheel horn trim ring. The car now runs great and can spin the tires again without worrying about the motor falling out.

My car has no rust but is in dire need of paint. Since it sat for so long the clear coat is flaking and cracking all over the place.

Jeffgn6 has a nice one that I should have took instead. His is in the same price range but with a little more miles on it. The paint is great and the car is an 11 second car which is what I am going to make the one I have. His car is driven so I know nothing would be dry rotted or varnished all to hell on it like mine was.

Actually, that is really good mileage for a driven GN. Its less than 10,000 miles a year but still driven each and every year which keeps things lubricated.

My suggestion would be to take the car. Just sit in it, if it feels "right" then take it.
