I have a 1990 Turbo STE Grand Prix for sale. I have owned the car for over 10 years. I bought it for the sole purpose of keeping it for a collector car. The car has always been garage kept. The white original paint is in excellent condition. The original light grey cloth interior is in excellent condition. The car has all available power options, including a moonroof. The tires are new premium Goodyears. I installed a new A/C Delco air conditioning copmpressor 2 years ago, as the original was leaking oil. I have had no other problems with the car. The original mileage on the car is only 49K. My house needs to be remodeled inside, so I must sell my car, as I need the money. I will entertain any reasonable offers. My E-mail address is dcain@wvwcc.org
location?
The car is located in the eastern part of U.S. (West Virginia), which is quite a distance from you. It couldn't be much worse for you as far as distance is concerned, unless you lived in California.
Did you try to sell 2 years ago? Disc sounds very familiar. Have any pics?
I did advertise the car on this site a couple of years ago. I got some ridiculous offers. I do not have any on line pics, and no digital camera. I could mail some pics. to anyone interested in the car.

sound like a nice TSTE. i could host a few pics for you so you don't have to e-mail pics to a bunch of different people.

Thanks for the offer. I will let you know, if anyone is interested in the car, and lives within a reasonable distance from me, so they can actually take a look at the car, if they like what they see in some pics.
It would be in everybodys best interest on this site if you posted up some pics of the car. The guys on here will go great distances to pick up very good cars. Also give us a price range you are looking for. It defeats the game of beating around the bush.
The only use of a computer that I have is the one at work. There is a fine line of what I can and cannot do. Joshua, if you are still interested in hosting some pics, let me know what your mailing address is, and I can send you some pics. My insurance company has a stated value of 10 grand on the car. I do not know what the current value is for an original, rust free, low mileage Turbo GP. I would welcome any input from anyone, as to what would be a fair price for my car.
$4000 max.

i would have to agree tho, even the really really nice TGP's only go for around $4000 tops.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA.
Josh, he's gonna get a return to sender if he tries mailing it to: debaser@turbosedan.com
:drinking:
according to Kelley Blue Book your car is worth $2.530 with 50,000 miles and in excellent condition. So I would say if its as nice as you say it is $4,000 max like everybody else says.
Hey, this guy is parting with his "cream puff". Probably pampered for the last ten years, low miles, sparing no expense to keep it running in top notch condition. Dont insult him with offers like your comming up with. The book dont mean scheit for making up a price.
I don't think anyone means to be insulting with their prices. It's just the fact that these cars are not worth that much because there are still so many of them around. The problems they develop doesn't help matters either. :cry: With as many TGPs as I've seen parted out in the past couple years, I still have managed to purchase two of them, and I am working on picking up a 3rd one....BLACK this time 8) And I haven't paid more than $750 for any of them. Granted they aren't in pristine condition, but they're not scrap either. I've also seen a fair number of them crusing around on the local highways. If this many survived in the heart of the rust belt, I can't imagine how many are still going in other states.
Someday these cars will most likely be worth something......but it won't be anytime soon. And even if they were worth 5k or more, I highly doubt you're going to find anyone on this board willing to pay that for one. The sad part to that is there aren't many people (other than the members of this board, and the W-body board) that know anything at all about these cars (the turbos). The majority of the people out there just see "another" grand prix...and that's all it's worth to them.
I would think you could get close to 6 for it. Every once in a while a TGP with low miles will command a lot of $$. Like was said above, not too many people know what the hell these cars are. Just keep advertising it, take it to shows, put it on ebay, smoke ricers til the word is out.

I agree that KBB can't give a good value on a car like this. No book can give a good value on a car over 15 years old, there are too many variations in condition for it to be accurate.
However, no one is making an offer, just offering input as to what he can expect.
The rommy one speaks the truth. Unfortunately at this point and time, the TGPs/TSTEs are nothing more than another one of those GM oddities from the late '80s/early '90s era that only a handful of people like ourselves give a damn about. This is why, regardless of condition, it is hard for these cars to command a decent dollar amount, especially when you think of what you could pick up for $10K. I'm not trying to put down the cars. These rareties are all I buy, but from a realistic stand point as far as worth goes, they just generally don't do that well. Of course, on rare occasions, someone "has to have it". As I've mentioned before, I got out bid last year with 2 seconds to go on a 40K mile STE AWD (which is a HELL of a lot rarer than any TGP), and it ended up going for $5,500 which was nearly $2K over what KBB said it was worth. But the guy purchasing it is obscenely rich (LITERALLY buys several cars a week off eBay), so I knew if he wanted it, it was his. But is it likely that that will happen again in the near feature? Not at all, because not only have most people never heard of these cars, even AFTER they learn of them, the majority unfortunately just don't care. :(
If I had the money I would offer 7500 or so being its been taken care of....heck if I found one with less then 10,000 miles and say it was Burgandy with Tan Leather I would not be scared to pay 15K for it....
