GNX dilema to drive or not to drive / sell or not to sell

[greybuick]

i say do what ever makes you happy it was your money that bought your car . other people can tell you what they would do but it always come down to your choice in the end.i don't have a gnx but i do have a odd optioned car i drive it but not as much as i would like to but my dad has a 66 corvette coupe that has 30,000 miles on it now and he drives the wheels off it when the weather is nice but he gets great enjoyment from it if sits in the garage or if he drives it so i say drive it a little and sit and look at in the garage you paid for it so nobodys opinion matters long as every time you look at your car it brings a smile to your face.

I say drive it and enjoy it like you have been. It is a very low mile car that you purchased at the right time. The price has gone way up on these cars as you very well know. Even with 20,000 miles on the clock it would still be a very highly desired collectible low mileage car that you will make alot of money from when sold.
I don't make the kind of money it takes to purchase a GNX, but I did purchase a 41,000 mile 87 GN that is highly optioned. I probably paid a little more for it than I should have but I did have resale in mind when I purchased it. That is why I bought one with twilight sentinel and digi-dash. Did I need this... NO, but I wanted it.
Enjoy your car as you wish and feel fortunate that you are one of the 547.

I recently bought 176# my forth with 12k miles,My feeling is why devalue a rare car with low miles. theres enough beaters out there to thash.In te 20 years as a TR mechanic I have seen my share of crashed,stolen & abused examples.I will probably only put on a few hundred miles a year on it takeing it to shows. Say what you will these cars are an investment & should be preserved. I predict that clean examples will double in the next 10 years. Quite frankly I have two other cars I prefer to drive & rather look at it & just relish the fact that I'm one of the fortunate 547 & thats enough for me.

The value difference between your 5820 mile X and a 15,820 miler (properly cared for, of course) does not justify your passing it along out of fear to put miles on the old Stewart Warner.

Seriously, unless you're talking about a 0 mile "bubble" car or one you can't enjoy (like 547)

I agree. If I had low mile collectible (not 0 mile though), such as yours I would drive a couple hundred miles a year. Take it out on nice day to local car show and short drives. The difference in value between 5900 and 7-8K miles in 5 or 6 years is going to be negligible.
