Harleyman Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 I am in the market for a 1990 Grand Prix Turbo. The one I am looking at has 88,000 miles. What is a fair price for the car???? I've checked NADA, Kelley, and other sites, but the prices vary and I don't think they take into account the collectability of the car. The car I am looking at is in excellent condition and has been babied by the owner. It is red. HELP!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harleyman Posted June 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 Thanks, guys. I was going to offer $3,500, so I am in the ballpark. The car just had a $150 detail and looks sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supreme_style21 Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 Even though that may be what it is worth, if you really want it, pay what you want to afford for it... I know I am guilty of paying WAAAYYYY too much for cars just because I fell for them.. but to me, it is worth it.. As long as I get what I want, and didn't pay more than I figured the car was personally worth to me, I'm happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you heard of anyone racing the turbo in autocross races? This car seems prime for short-course racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby1870 Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 Theres a guy on this site, ( I forgot his screen name, maybe Heza, cant remeber though), but autocrosses his GP with the 3100. I think the TGP would make decent autocross car. The T-25 turbo spools pretty quicky, it has good lowe end torque and good hi end power. That combo is hard to find on a pushrod motor Robby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme_Style is right, offer what you want to pay for it, not what's listed. I was able to snag a L-Body for $800 less than what was posted: it's called playing hardball. The best way to buy a car is convice the other owner you'll buy it but without creaming your pants; that's tricky. - RedFox340 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bake82 Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 $900-1500 WHY SO LOW??????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 $900-1500 WHY SO LOW??????????? Brian is cheap, he pays $20 for HUDs when other people have to pay $150+. I bought mine for $2000 4yrs ago. It needed (and still needs) some work though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burning Rom Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 I bought my TGP off of ebay for $700..but she needs a lot of work. Good thing my plan was to rebuild it anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
