Carmax associate here. Beautiful car! Although I don't understand all the carmax hate lol. It's not an insulting offer, its more of a "Who walks into a carmax to buy a Buick Grand National?" offer. Also, even IF we bought it, even IF we sold it, what lender/bank is going to offer someone a decent loan on it? It's a 40 year old performance car. It's hard enough to get a 72 month term loan on a 10+ year old car. They MIGHT finance someone for it but it would be a very short term loan, which would mean the payments would be pretty damn high. So now ask yourself, why would carmax pay retail value for a vehicle that has a TINY market for it, and an even SMALLER chance of getting a good loan on. Too much risk/reward when we could just stick to buying 2010+ reliable and popular commuter vehicles that the general public would buy. Beautiful car though. I love when people bring them through our store.

[@boyifyoudont1836]

Well said! People really don’t understand a huge company like Carmax will cater to the majority market, yea it’s unique but that’s just makes finding a potential buyer harder and that would reflect the offer. The average everyday person is likely to buy a stock Camry than a unique GNX

[@jimmywhitlow2012]

What you fail to understand is the person that will buy this car, will pay cash for it. It's not going to be a person's daily driver. It will go in someone's garage and will only be driven on fair weather days. This is some people's dream car.

[@monkeywithastick5718]

i was 23 years old, working as an auto mechanic at an Ohio Buick/Olds/Pontiac dealership near Cincinnati in 1989. It had rained the night before and the road was still a little wet. A customer brought his GNX in complaining that it shifted too soon out of passing gear so my service manager had me take the car for a test drive. I took it on the main road, got it up to 55 mph then stomped on it... after the 1 or 2 second turbo lag, I was horrified to realize that the car started drifting sideways. I brought it back to the lot and told my boss I wasn't able to test how soon it up-shifted. It was an awesome experience, though.

@@jimmywhitlow2012 It’s more a symbol of the times, buddy. With the 70’s gas shortages and new emissions regulations, muscle cars fell out of favor and much of their performance was choked to meet the new normal. The 250-260HP this car was rated at, entirely underrated by the way (the real HP output was estimated at 300+), was fairly rare given the times.

As a former 1987 Turbo-T owner with the astro-roof, I advise you to keep your car. I was young, needed the money, and made a quick decision in 2002 to sell it. I always look back in regret because of the rarity of the car and how fun it was to drive. Money will come and go, but you have a piece of automotive history. Most importantly, I see the love put into the car with the Kirban Performance fender flares (tough install) and louvers, bigger brakes and rear disc conversion, leather interior, lightning rod shifter, wheels, etc. I hope you kept the car. Camaros, Mustangs, and Vettes are a dime a dozen, but Turbo Buicks are truly unique (always have been).

Well I have a 87 GN with 26K miles. Not knowing the miles but from what I could see I would say that was a fair offer. To true GN owners, the more you customize the lower you drive the price. The interior needs work and it looks like you put leather seats in. Lowering the car also will drive the price down. Collectors want GNs that have not been messed with. Fixed up the car and enjoy it would be my suggestion.

[@robertcarter6307]

You are 100% right and I’m sure it’s not a REAL GNX no one has mentioned that if it was then you would be talking 6-8 times that offer and you the owner I very highly doubt that u would dare customize it with collector cars you don’t touch them no wheels!! No gauges no calipers/rotors! Ect ect looks to be a nice car you fixed up I’m shocked they offered you that much I was thinking 5 gs and yes I do know all about gns and gnx’s they only made 500 of them and in the day though GM made it hard on people to do but was the make a gn into a gnx there’s one thing that would prove to me it may be real take a picture of the back of the transmission where the driveshaft meets with the back of transmission won’t say anymore and yes I had a 87 for a few years back in the 90s late!

For a car that is "modified" all over the place I think it was pretty generous. Nobody looking to buy this car, who can actually afford it. Wants one with all the fast and furious shit on it.

[@matthewf8268]

Carmax can not sell any vehicle on the lot that’s more than 11 years old. It would have to go to wholesale. If there was a 1/100000 percent chance someone would buy that car would you put 40k of your own money on that to hope that someone would buy it? There’s such a small market for his car. Cut carmax a break. Why do you think they’ve been around since the 90s? It’s because they make smart financial choices. It’s hard enough to get loans approved on cars that are 10 years or more old by the banks let alone something of this cars age and uniqueness.

So going back after it's gone will be problematic to find another GN that you totally know is 100% the way it should be without having to roll out some serious cash for it. I'm quite sure it's taken quite a bit of time and money to bring it up to where it's at now. You're better off not getting rid of it. There won't be any regrets going forward in the future.

[@mikeoneill7360]

When your desperate, go,to Carmax….. If your smart, buy from a private party and always have it inspected BEFORE any monies are transferred. What you can’t see with your own eyes are the areas you want to concentrate on. Specifically, u see the car, rust and suspension parts. Good Luck…..

Suuuuure, 16g? That’s probably what the dude had available in his personal bank account. They want to double the money they lay out so in their short sighted greed, they acknowledge 32g Did he know about your e.c.o. ?

I'm gonna have mine appraised. There is a classic car place in Litchfield that I heard was a good place to go. I'm kind of curious what mine appraise for.

[@andrenapper8802]

That's a collector's car, my dad bought one back in 87' too. It was stolen in 91'. He had the club and and kill switch on it. They had to flat bed that car. Never had the chance to drive it, I was 9 when it was stolen.

[@lloydeyler8608]

A regular customer where I used to work had a GMC Syclone. It was nearly new. He had several anti-theft devices including 'The Club'. Worked 2nd shift at a factory in a fairly busy industrial complex. Always parked it out at the end of the parking lot so it didn't get dinged. One night after work, it was gone. About a YEAR later a farmer found the FRAME dumped in a ditch near the back of his property. Only thing left was a few misc. brackets and some wire harness clips. Nobody saw anything. Either the theft OR the dumping of the frame.

I got an offer on my 2000 mazda b2500 pickup from them for $1,000 I ended up selling it on Craigslist for $3,500. They basically give you the bottom of the Kelly blue book value which is not entirely accurate on what the car is worth in the current market... especially on classic and rare cars like this. Cool video brother. 😁

[@race-ist5point0]

My last sports car was a heavily modded and upgraded and frame off restoration 1985 GN: interior also new. My actual dream car when I was in my twenties. Damn shame you gotta completely reengineer the things for 'em to be "fast" by today's standards. But anyway, no business would buy a 40 year old car for more than $16,000. Those cars MUST be sold at auctions to get what they're worth. Not to mention the most popular car IN THE WORLD right now is the Hellcat. It became 74x more popular than the GN was in the 80s and 90s. Dodge did they're thang! I got huge looks for mine even before it was restored. But now at car shows nobody checks out GNs. Cyclones and Typhoons still get looks just because they wonder what they are. (See my videos.)

[@GetsumJ]

LOL, Carmax. You got the KY Jelly treatment.

[@robertcarter6307]

You hit it right on the head! Good comment!someone that obviously knows the car Business and for 20 years I used to tell Cadillac customers bring it to trade at Carmax they will give you the most bottom line at any car dealership I said that for 20 years now I don’t know if that still rings true today but I’ve been out of the car business in that capacity for about five years now so kudos to Carmax they have no business buying a car of that statue and make a offer on it even that would’ve been a stupid move that car would’ve been sitting on there lot for a long time they would of possibly wound up bringing it to the auction ouch that would hurt them!!Bad move for both parties just my opinion piece out all!
