I am selling this car because I would like to see it go to a good home, where it will be restored properly and appreciated. My ex-husband was supposed to help me restore it but he has moved out and unfortunately I won't be able to do anything with it myself. I bought it for $5000 appx 5 yrs ago - drove it home (fun to drive!) and it has been in the garage ever since. It's obviously in need of new paint so the first thing he did was take the motor out (also in the garage on motor stand) and start to prepare for sand-blasting/painting. So, unfortunately you won't be able to take it for a test drive. Hopefully to a GN enthusiast, that won't matter. It has 98,900 original miles and clean interior. There is some rust on the driver's side door and trunk lid but he bought a clean trunk lid you can have - he said it would need a new driver's side door as well but everything else is solid. You'll see a few pictures of how it looked when I brought it home but most of the other pictures were taken after he started prepping for paint (no headlights or tail lights, etc.) I do have all 4 stock wheels.
Other than that, I don't know much about it other than it's one of 5,512 GNs manufactured in 1986. You see fewer and fewer of these cars all the time - if properly restored, this car could be worth in excess of $20,000 according to NADA. I really wish I had the knowledge and skills to restore it myself! Happy bidding!
I reserve the right to cancel this auction prior to auction end date as the car is also listed for sale locally.

The importance of Angel Eyes, Ventiports and four round taillights
Sun, 01 Sep 2013Just the other day, we told you about how Lincoln isn't really a luxury brand, according to Ford's head design man, J Mays. His argument was that Lincoln lacked the unique DNA to differentiate it from the rest of the market, although the arrival of the MKZ is beginning to change that. Now, we have this video from Autoline Detroit, where Jim Hall, an analyst for 2953 Analytics who was quoted in yesterday's Lincoln story, explains the influence of certain styling cues and how they impact the brands.
Using BMW (Angel Eyes) and Buick (Ventiports) as examples for small, simple touches that serve to distinguish the brand's vehicles on the road, Hall then points out how changing trademark styling features, as Chevrolet has done on the new Corvette Stingray, can hurt the vehicle's public perception. Take a look at the full video below for an interesting dive into what these styling features mean to their individual brands.
J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
