As expected, the bumper fillers being chaulked out . But , you'd think the seller would polish them up before the show . And , at least to my eye from the pics shown , the car could have used a detail polishing/buffing . Looks to me on the trunk lid picture , it cloudy/scratchy ? What was it like in person ?
Also, yet the one at BJ Palm Beach with 362 miles , the one with the riveted door moldings , sold for $150k ???????? And the last one at Mecum with 12 miles sold for $140k . I guess it's hit or miss when and where you bring your car to sell .
Either way , that's still good $$$$$ for an 87 Regal !!!!!!
I bought it as I needed a winter car. Snow is coming.
It's safe to say all these X's with the sub 100 miles are just going to be passed on from caretaker to caretaker and never be driven and enjoyed .
Here's my take :
You bought an X new for anywhere from the $29k to $40k's ?You have locked up that X for 28 years not driving it , keeping less than 100 miles on it , to sell it for , for arguments sake , $100-110k , sometimes more , sometimes less.
Compared to using /enjoying it , sparingly with 1-5k miles and could sell it for approx $80k . That's only a $20-30k difference. You could have bought/sold/flipped many cars during those years making $1,2,5-10k on each far exceeding the profit of having it all locked up in one item . You're not the only guy on the block doing this , so it is not a rare sight to see an X with crazy low miles , I'd venture to say , I'd bet more than half of them are like this.
Not trying to offend anyone with time capsule X in their garage , but I do get it , there are just outright plain collectors which do not car about driving the car , it is just a showpiece to them . So to each their own I guess .
Go back to the 1970 Buick GSX , it offered NO additional power , just an appearance package . I do believe those who have a GNX that they are actually gonna drive , with the exception of maybe a few , I don't think they are getting beat on by any means , but driven rather cautiously .Not to mention transporting it here and there, keeping it warm dry and safe, upkeep and in operable condition. I think it's more about being able to say you own/owned one than any type of real investment other than holdings. Actually right now would be the time to buy and hope it triples in the next 10. As far as driving and enjoying I don't see these offering anything in a driving experience waay beyond what a slightly modified GN does, 99% of people don't know the difference...it would mostly be for the Turbo Buick crowd and some car guys.
