Why is it that you never see a Grand National in any other color than black? I’ve never thought about it until now. I bet a white one would look great.

they only came in black. The others were t-types.
my boy had a beige one and then a white one that was actually more rare than a grand National. Came stock with a digital dash and blue recarro buckets. Dude also had a syclone and typhoon. He was a turbo 3.8 fiend.

I think GNs only come in black. I know the 86-87s only come in black. T-types come in other colors.

he likes it but maybe it’s because he’s newer. My wife runs a restaurant and with this pandemic and al the changing rules and can’t keep any employees etc etc and they’re in the process of buying another so she’s stressed to the max.
I can see how it would suck though especially some of the customers.
I def couldn’t do it with my little to no patience.
He's definitely newer. In today's auto sales, most new salespeople are just the product specialists. They don't talk numbers at all. They go over the car (or try to as many don't know the product they are selling, from what customers told me when they came to me after I sold them a car, and explained EVERYTHING about said vehicle), and then get the client at their desk, and get info in regards to money down, length of loan, etc and that's it! A manager handled all numbers for the transaction.
I wasn't trained that way and today couldn't do it that way at a different store had I decided to go back. I know how the business works and how to handle a customer, handle an objection, etc.
I was all about developing a long term relationship. That's how I was taught. Treat them right, with a fair deal, and they will come back. Now, today, most out of state customers just want the cheapest deal and don't even give having a relationship to a salesperson a 2nd thought. It's all about who can get to the bottom the fastest, in terms of pricing.

So they only made them in black. I once saw an advertisement from the 80s for the GN's & it read "You can have it in any color you want as long as it's black" lol. Black is the best color for car's imo so Buick knew what they were doing

Anyone ever traded in a modded car without putting it back to stock?. Like your car on lowering springs, exhaust, intakes, no cats(catalytic converter)? Don’t really wanna waste my money to return car back to stock. Plus I sold my cats already

plenty of times.
Sold my blue hellcat to carvana.
sold my silver wk1 and red wk2 srt to dealers.
The best was the silver one. It needed a new TIPM, rear diff, and tcase. I didnt want to give them the diablo trinity so I flashed it back to stock a block before the dealer. They didnt even test drive the jeep. It was so detailed and well maintained the user car mgr poked his head out and was like give him the 28k he wants (was 6 yo and 75k miles at the time). About a week later Im driving from work by the dealer and I see smoke coming from the TIPM under the hood.
Then I get a call a day or 2 later from the owner of the dealer and was like my mechanic cant figure out why the check engine light is on. I said IDK I traded it in clean. Thats on you. I knew what was wrong. I had catless long tube kooks on it and if the JEEP dealer mechanic couldnt figure that out then hes an idiot. **** Manhattan Jeep anyways.

In some cases depending on the mods you'd lose a good amount of coin if you sold it with the mods still on the car as opposed to returning it to stock. You're selling the Z? What's next, GT-R?Anyone ever traded in a modded car without putting it back to stock?. Like your car on lowering springs, exhaust, intakes, no cats(catalytic converter)?

idk just being around so much people with 500+ whp cars in my area, I’m getting really impatient pretty much lol. I’ve been looking at those q60 redsports lol, and 2020 Supra, two cars that can get 500whp for cheap. Love my Z but even if I get a turbo or supercharger, I’ll be paying 15k after parts and installation just to reach power, regular turbo cars from factory can reach with a down pipe and a tune

Lol I hear ya- a need for speed. Them Supras are nice, I dig em. 15k is a good amount of $, better to just get the factory turbo'd car & do what you will with it with the power mods. You looked at older GT-R's 2012-2016, some nice deals out there. They do hold their value pretty well too. My brother sold his Z last week, broke even on it. He's married now so a 2 door/2 seater ain't going to cut it with errands and groceries etc. He said he is now a lease-only kind of guy. I lease him my '96 Maxima for the weekends as long as he returns it with a full tank lol.idk just being around so much people with 500+ whp cars in my area, I’m getting really impatient pretty much lol.
