Forrest Gump 9 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Turned on to Barrett Jackson live. A 1987 Buick GNX roll on. Low and behold, the front plate says Toys Barn. I remember saw that car in their show room awhile back. It's has something like fifteen miles so basically brand new. Their asking price was $111,000 or something close to that. I thought it was outragous. Anyway, it was sold on Barrett Jackson for a cool $150,000. WOW!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Gump 9 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Well, an idiot with a lot of money. But that what an auction environment will do to you. About 7-8 years ago I had a chance to buy a GNX with 35k miles for $28k. Wonder how much that car worth now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second Gen Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Always liked the GN's and the GNX's were even nicer. Its a shame they are still just an Olds Cutlass everywhere else. Look at the one pic with the center console and the double Din radio stack. Still love a good turbo'ed six cylinder and this one was one of the best for the time(s). One of these years I will go forced induction again and maybe a six instead of a wankle (Maybe). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but if you indeed wanted a vehicle you would have researched that it was priced for tens of thousands less with a simple 15 second Google search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
