Not sure if it's overpriced but if someone knows the car feel free to chime in about it. Thank you.

Hmmm.
For that price, you'd think they could have at least cleaned up the engine bay and replaced the broken air dam.

I'm seeing a nice, low-ish mile, 20-25K car.

that price made me LOL

The car has had 8 owners in 6 different states.

PA, WV, NY, MI, OK, TX.

No accidents are seen and mileage appears ok.

And way too expensive.

Thanks guys. The car looks relatively clean in pics and I hate the wheels but it is here in Texas and I can at least drive a few hours to have a look see. The fact that it's a classic dealer I'm sure they think it's worth the asking but a close look will give me a better idea of it's value and if it's what I want.

They all think they're on a TV show where turds sell for $40k. *yawn*

Like many have said, way over priced for sure but it "looks" like a decent car otherwise although a recent rebuild is always a red flag in my book. Need proof of who did the rebuild and what was done. If you're new to these cars it helps to put eyes on as many local prospects as you can as each one will be a learning experience and will help you make a better decision when the time comes. It will help greatly if you bring someone who actually knows these cars, knows what to look for, and what questions to ask. Good luck with your hunt!

I've owned 3 over the years. I've disassembled/reassembled all 3 for complete repaints and swear will never do it again. I'm getting too old, lol. I know how one can lose track on spending. I agree on the rebuild, the airbags also tell me it's been down the track but don't know how much. Hopefully this will be my last GN so it's gotta be the right one for me.

I'd rather have one of the "few" grey or white GN's.....

 

[robertf]

White would be interesting.

Sorry if I offended you. Saw your joined date and assumed you were new to these cars. Happy hunting!

 

[robertf]

Lol, no offense taken. I just don't want to put myself through the work having one repainted again. I want to buy someone else's blood sweat and tears when they're tired of it.

 

[626gn]

Smart move!

 

[V6sleeper]

That might be the price 10 years from now.

They could've at least tucked the power logger wires out of sight.
You might be able to get them to come down ten G's on that alone !!!!
