Came across this auction- https://www.ebay.com/itm/1987-Buick...175743?hash=item4b6a5f453f:g:S-cAAOSw--pdRMBp

My first instinct was to think of this guy as a total a$$clown. After reading the description it is confirmed.
41K miles is high for a GNX. They are not hard to find and actually go on sale quite often. The options are the same for every GNX. GNX's are not selling for 165K-250K. This car is NOT valued at 132K.

Now for some questions for the expert GNXers here. I'm pretty sure I know the answers but still want to confirm.
547 went for $220K over 2 years ago, right?
Have any other ones went for over 200K?
Does anyone know of any dealer who sold them/buyer who bought 1 for 100K? I've heard of 10K over sticker
Has any stock GNX gone 12.7 at over 113mph? I have seen 13.2 in Michigan winter
Wasn't the Porsche Turbo and Ferrari F40 quicker and faster than the GNX?
Is it possible to have bumper fillers that have shiny paint and didn't deteriorate after 32 years?
 
There are quite a few six figure GNX sales over the last 12 months. 2 sold on BaT very recently one with under 1K miles for over $135K that was bought by a dealer that is now asking $190K and also a 9 mile car for over $200K. If you don’t think a GNX is a 6 figure car, you may have missed the boat. Now that there are confirmed sales of well over $200K for wrapper cars and multiple low mile cars well into the 6 figures, even high mile drivers will bring some serious coin as those cars will attract buyers that want a real X and can afford $90K, but not $125K or more. The time to buy a GNX st a reasonable number was 2016. They have skyrocketed since and breached into new territory hitting the $200K plus mark with at least 2 cars. I bet if #547 was made available for sale now, it could fetch as much as $300K or more. This car is legendary and people my age that used to ride their bikes to the Buick dealership so they could see and sit in one are finally at a point in life where they can buy their childhood dream cars. There were only 547 ever made and significantly less available today, so simple supply and demand dictates that the prices on these cars will continue to rise. If you can find one at a reasonable number, jump on it and don’t look back.
 
GNX #480 with 8.5 miles sold for $200k add $5k commissionfor a total of $205k in Feb of this year. #481 with 460 miles sold for $130k in March of this year. $135k with commission.
 
Looks like it went for $72,100. I actually can't believe it went for that. That was a VERY generous offer IMO. I say that also based on - http://gmauthority.com/blog/2019/08/1987-buick-regal-gnx-327-of-547-hammers-for-50600-at-mecum/
That is a big name auction and I feel that it is an appropriate price for those miles which are almost identical to GNX#379. That is also in line with a high mileage GNX that sold a year or 2 ago (I believe on this site) for around 40K.
I am in NO WAY saying that a low mileage documented car is not worth over 100K. But a 41K mile one for $132K. Really? A bubble wrapped car for $200K (8 miles) -OK. GNX#547-$220K-OK. You really can't add these cars to the mean of GNX sales. They are not the norm and are really a 1 of 547 situation. GNX #481 with 460 miles for $130 is reasonable. A lot higher than a year or 2 ago but reasonable.

But besides all this can someone please answer my questions:
Have any other ones went for over 200K? (besides 8 mile one and #547) Anywhere near 200K?
Does anyone know of any dealer who sold them/buyer who bought 1 for 100K? I've heard of 10K over sticker
Has any stock GNX gone 12.7 at over 113mph? I have seen 13.2 in Michigan winter
Wasn't the Porsche Turbo and Ferrari F40 quicker and faster than the GNX?
Is it actually physically possible to have bumper fillers that have shiny paint and didn't deteriorate after 32 years?

$72,100 didn't meet his $75k reserve.

I do not know of any others.

I think some dealers tried the 100k thing, but they sat and eventually sold closer to sticker.


Has any stock GNX gone 12.7 at over 113mph? I have seen 13.2 in Michigan winter

Found this on a few different sites. Buick GNX was able to blitz the quarter-mile run in 12.7 seconds at 113.1 mph which put it in supercar territory, beating the Ferrari F40 by 0.3 seconds. With a 0-62 mph time of 4.6 seconds, the only car that was faster than the GNX at the time was the legendary Lamborghini Countach.


Wasn't the Porsche Turbo and Ferrari F40 quicker and faster than the GNX? See above

Is it actually physically possible to have bumper fillers that have shiny paint and didn't deteriorate after 32 years?

My GNX has 922 miles and bumper fillers are very nice. No sun and climate controlled environment helps.
