1987 BUICK GRAND NATIONAL IMMACULATE CONDITION CLEAN TITLE LOW MILES!

Please take a minute to read my description on this vehicle prior to placing bids. This vehicle was offered by USAA insurance in Alabama, he images you see are directly from the USAA holding facility, nd as you can see the vehicle is in excellent condition. The headlight housings were in the trunk and one on the floor. Vehicle runs and drives excellent, ts actually like New inside and out. One of the principals decided they have always wanted one of these vehicles, riginal without prior collision history or any type of damage. It seems as if the driver side quarter panel has had some paint work but it is an original quarter panel. Our Vice President did receive the vehicle in New York and to his surprise the vehicle not only was like new smelled like new, ut the vehicle identification plate that goes on the dashboard, as stripped off the top of the dashboard. If you are a buyer in New York although the vehicle is a clean title, ou might possibly have to take it to a NYS inspection for a re vin which would be a different number. All other states, ctually have a motor vehicle inspector give a new vin plate on the inside of the door after they inspect it. Out of the remaining Grand Nationals out there I have to say this is one fo the cleanest ones and we are pricing it to sell. We can assist with the DMV process in any state, ou can drive this vehicle home, ith title in hand. Our VP has asked us to place this for sale and state firm with the price, lthough we are an online re-marketing technology company, e do have to buy some inventory through bulk deals that we need to make with insurance companies to maintain our bidding contracts. If you need to inspect the vehicle prior to making a decision please contact us, o not place a bid then want to inspect the vehicle after you win the auction. This listing is not subject to financing, uyer must have all the funds to pay for this vehicle in a timely fashion. Do not pass on this vehicle or be discouraged, his vehicle is a beast and one that its value will never go below what they are currently selling, hey will end up being worth more year after year. Its definitely a diamond in the rough!! Good luck and Happy Bidding!

Comments:

Acceleration:A little pokey without pedal overlap, ut the upshifts are sharp. I found holding the car steady on the brakes while raising the rpm to plus-minus 3,000 and the boost to about 5 psi netted the best launch. It seems to spool up quicker now and the midrange is definitely stronger post tune-up. So, he tune-up got us about two-tenths quicker to 60 mph.

Braking:The brakes were best when they were cool. As the number of stops increased, o did the stopping distances. Pedal feel is nearly nonexistent and lock-up (skidding) grew harder and harder to avoid despite my best efforts. I miss ABS.

Handling:

Skid pad:Pretty mild steady-state understeer here. I had to get used to surging from the turbo, ut eventually managed to keep the throttle steady all the way around. Steering weight is light, et I could feel the front tires' grip ebbing. It did puke a little oil during/after the skid pad. We double-checked the level and it was fine. Also did an underhood inspection and found some oil on the right valve cover from the breather. I sopped it up with a rag and sent it on its way home.

Slalom:Obviously new shocks and new tires helped here. Hard to imagine saying this after the last '87 Buick Grand National I tested, ut this car is a confident and capable handler. Not sure if I'd give all the credit to the tires because there's also so little slack in the steering (comparatively speaking) and the chassis feels compliant and forgiving (shocks). I could really attack the slalom in this one, here I wanted to throw in the towel on the other one.
