So I'm going to pick up a 1987 Buick Grand National I looked at last week for $14,500. It's been my dream car for a while now and I'm excited its finally coming true.

Original owner, 120k miles, handful of mods but it still passes smog, AC works...etc. Honestly the car looks mint inside and out as it was lightly driven, garaged all its life and in storage the past five years. I couldn't find a single thing wrong with it.

So am I making a good buy? I'm a bit worried because I just saw a nice '85 pop up for less than 10k but I don't really want a hot air car.

you'll be fast, but everyone will think you're either a granny or a nigger.
Or both.
Prepare to be randomly pulled over a lot more.
>>
>>13849387
14,500? Are you retarded or did you just type an extra zero?
>>
>>13849401
Every time I've seen this car its been driven by an old white guy lol. I've only seen one owned by a black guy up by SF on some bad wheels.

But I'm buying it as a second car to just take to shows/meets and as something to work on. Nothing beats my civic for getting pulled over anyways.

>you'll be fast
Eh.
>>
>>13849406
Retarded.

This is the problem I have with classics. They look cool but let's face it, literally tarbo v6 80's Buick. Anything modern in a $15k budget will blow its doors off and out handle it vastly.

Attempt? At what? I'm pointing out the obvious. 14,500 for a 28 year old car with 120k miles is a fucking rip-off. Regardless of the condition. I see old buicks go for 600 or less. You could get a beat up one that runs for a few grand then put the rest of the money into the interior and getting the engine rebuilt. How is 14,500 a reasonable price for this car?

You would be easy to scam after your parents die.

I take it you don't know what a GN is.

He knows it's not a GNX and you overpaid.

if its your dream car and you can make it happen the fucking do it asap
obviously check for rust and test drive it and shit but if its legit then live your dream man

the hot air car on the other hand... you could use the money saved to buy a cooler and other fun parts but i'm not sure about your plans for the car so i dunno
>>
>>13849458
Haven't paid for it yet.

>>13849452
>i have no idea what i'm talking about but i'll keep talking anyway
>>
>>13849455
I havent spent more than 700 on a car for my whole life and ive driven hundreds of thousands of miles. Good luck scamming me, i'm frugal and dont waste money because i fuckin worked for it, faggot.
>>
If it isn't a GNX it's not worth that much, spotless or not. I'd expect a clean restoration of an old T-type or standard grand national with a mild 350 to go for around 8k.
>>
>>13849468
Explain why that car is worth that much money
>>
>>13849473
I will scam you by buying shit from you faggot. You wouldn't know the value of your dead parents stuff.
>>
>>13849474
I've been checking CL for the past two years and anything under 8k for these cars is either not running or without an engine.
>>
>>13849483
Nice hypothetical situation you got there. Too bad i'm a borderline hoarder and not a complete retard.
>>
>>13849387
I think you're a fucking idiot, especially with that high mileage.
But this glorified Mexican shitbox is your dream car, so...

I've literally only ever seen beaners drive these cars. Although, most were just regular Buicks or Olds Cutlass.

The GN is seriously overpriced, and overrated. But if you like it, that's your business.

I don't think 120k is high for that old of a car because if a car sits undriven for that long you're going to have more issues.
