And yes I am fully aware of what a GNX is. I work on at least two GN's/ TR's a week (often the same two!)

I think NADA (NADAguides.com)gives better value estimates than KBB. Especially for our cars.

I know State farm and other insurance companies use it.

NADA estimates
LOW $3100
Average $5700
High $8625

Nada actually considers TGPs to be classics. KBB does not show value for a McClaren they only take into account the powertrain is a turbo.

To see this vaue you have to select "Grand Prix 2 Door Coupe (*) " when it lists all the 1990 pontiacs. THis will diect you to
1990 Pontiac Grand Prix
2 Door Coupe (*)
 (*) ASC/MCLAREN TURBO  

NADA specifically states
Note: This value does not represent a "100 Point" or "# 1" vehicle *.
* "100 Point" or "# 1" vehicle is not driven. It would generally be in a museum or transported in an enclosed trailer to concourse judging and car shows. This type of car would be stored in a climate-regulated facility.
