I knew GNX parts where expensive but?...

Would anyone pay this much for a used GNX turbo?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it's due to:
the obvious rare fact
ceramic turbine wheel-not the same as the regular TR turbo...

He's smoking crack if he thinks someone is going to pay that much for it.

If you had been around in the "Turbo Buick World" about 18-19 years ago, you would have seen them selling at that price!

All it takes is a very small piece to go through the turbine and take out the ceramic wheel. Since this turbo is used exclusively on the GNX, a non-original turbo would GREATLY de-value a GNX, so $3K is not an unreasonable price.:biggrin:

I sold one a year ago for $2.200.00 the buyer chewed me from $2.500.00 & was glad to get it. Also you don't have to be Barret Jackson to predict that any unmolested TR is going to be worth a fortune in the not to distant future. It's already happening. I intend to find another one while they are still affordable. P.S. am I the only one that's noticed how nice & civil the south west section has become lately. I'm actually starting to like here it again.
