Re: Another New TY freak

wow the truck looks much darker in your avatar than in the pic syo237 posted, nice truck. my buddies dad had a really nice 87 GN he had it painted and fixed a few little items and i think he only got 9k out of it. so your trade sounds like you got a good deal

thats cause the truck in his avatar is not his truck. The truck in his avatar was Alan D.'s The actual pictures were dark, making the truck look really dark royal as well. Alan sold the truck quite awhile ago. I believe it's still in HI.

Alan's former truck:

Re: Another New TY freak

Ty's are awesome. I own a 30k mile 92 black Ty in mint condition. But I question why you would trade a 87 GN for one?????
I owned 15 GN's and still own a 87 Grand National with 22k miles & EVERY OPTION moonroof etc.. that just won first in stock original at Buick performance weekends car show at Englishtown Raceway Park. And also a 5k mile hardtop GN in mint original condition. Was your GN a high mileage car in need of work? any regrets?
GN's get HUGE $$$ in original low mile condition. Good luck with your Ty and leave it stock . A exhaust mod would be nice. I just took my original exhaust off and added a 3 in stainless. WOW, runs great!! picked up a few hp and sounds great too. some of my cars listed below . Good Luck!

Re: Another New TY freak

Crap I did know the truck was for sale that long, Well Im glad I got a rare color.
I heard florida is beautiful just like its woman, but some of my buick buddies purchased GNs out there and were sad after there Ttops were rusty as hell. but it must of been from neglectfull owners.

That makes me sad to here a Gn has rust from florida,because my Gn has been in WI all its life and has zero rust.I take everything apart with hand tools no air tools what so ever.And the wifes ty came from west virginia and its the same way.Must be from neglect..for sure..

Is there a vaccum Diagram where I can check my lines?

Sorry about the rust comment but I guess we are spoiled in california and have heard of horror stories about cars from the east. Its true all that matters is how you take care of them.

Re: Another New TY freak

You have to be honest and explain to everyone why its up for sale after owning it for a few weeks or a few months if it has been that long. Something has to be up with that truck. Its a rare color but everyone that i have heard that has gone to see the truck has walked away. I have spoken to the seller a few times when i was looking and becasue it was to far for me i just gave up. I think im glad i did!!!

Let us know whats really up with it.

Re: Another New TY freak

Theres nothing really mechanicaly or cosmeticly wrong with this truck, I have recently performed the tune up. The only thing I recently saw was that it needs a tranny mount, minor idle surge I dont kow whats normal but idle fine after warm up. I just money because Im in the process of buying a house. The transmission was rebuilt by GM dealer about 3yrs ago I have the documentation. Its ready to go

Re: Another New TY freak

I dont know why anyone is surprised. MOST (not saying all) GN owners buys these trucks with a far different perception of them and when they find out it is not the same thing they go back for sale. I have seen this happen a few times even in my own own town.
