ACTdryice Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Just replaced my first "real"car that I had in high school! I've been looking for the same color and interior and low mile GP for about 5 years now. And I was lucky enough to purchase an 89 SE with 47,xxx miles and it was literally owned by a little old lady from Minnesota. It's pretty loaded, power seats, moon roof, navigation system(ha) everything works! I'm shocked! It did need a little cleaning, the drivers head rest was brownish(hairspray residue no doubt from beauty salon trips) No rust all original, even the mats are pristine (had rubber mats over carpeted ones) couple normal scratches and the front valence will need some paint. There's very little to do to it, other then keep it clean and drive it a bit. So I went out and bought an 89 TGP that needs some love just so I have a excuse to get out of the house and work on a car... cost-$4500. Not a steal, but more then fair I think -also came with pontiac remote locks and truck. I only drive shoeless too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACTdryice Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 I bought this 89 in 91 for $10,000. It had 10000 miles on and had been "converted" from an LE to and SE with the factory ground effects, duel exhaust and SE tail lights. Drove it til 96' and sold it with 115,xxx on the OD. It had the 3.1 stock, a 6 disc alpine changer in the trunk(convienent).. This car was my first real taste of freedom great time for a 19yr old.

ACTdryice Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) She's dead. Her daughter owned for a bit and then sold it to the dealer I bought it from, knowing dealers I'm sure he hugged himself all the way to the bank...
