Hey everyone! I'm brand new to this site, and about 2 months into my Bonneville owning experience. I won a '96 SSE, Bright Red with Black leather interior, sunroof, every option except for the performance shifting buttons. I currently have over 240,000 miles on her, but she runs like new. Only thing I have a problem with is the A/C compressor bearing is shot so it screams. Paint is in remarkable shape for the age and mileage, interior is like 95% mint!

I recently sold my 1989 ASC/McLaren Turbo Grand Prix, 1 of 995 made that year, which was also Bright Red and had a tan leather interior. I put a ton of time and money into her, but it was time to move on...so I bought an SSE!

I live in New Ulm, Minnesota, and I'm just looking to learn as much about these cars as I can, and hopefully meet some cool people.

Welcome Krenzy.
So can we assume with all the options that it has a blower?

[Krenzy]

LOL ok, so almost all options. I actually opted for a non-supercharged engine. I seem to have bad luck with power-adders. My SHO, my Turbo Grand Prix.......well, the TGP ran great after a 7k investment.

[GXP_vince]

Wait so you won the car or bought it>?

[harofreak00]

You've been to my house

[Krenzy]

Not sure why it looks like I won it, can you explain? I did buy it though.

Andy good to see ya on here! Too bad you don't have any spare 96-99 parts anymore. Not that I ned any, but you can enver have too many spares. By the way, I think you owe me a ride in that SSEi yet lol.

[TenGHz]

I never heard anyone call Andrew Andy before. Not that it matters. lol

Anyways, welcome aboard.

[olblueeyesbonne]

Hey welcome aboard. I've seen you on MNClubGP before!
Hope to see you soon and yeah, that does sound like a sharp SSE.

[GoldenBullet]

Please, let me know what you think!!!!!

[dirtracr95]

Welcome! glad to see your on here now too. Congrats on the Bonne and glad to hear you were finally able to sell the TGP. You were trying to sell it for a long time.

[Krenzy]

Hey thanks for the welcome! It seems I see you everywhere! I listed the TGP on eBay and after a day and a half someone used the Buy It Now function and that was it!

Did you happen to check out my FQuick for my Bonne pics?

yes i did it looks very good. I wish i could find a BLT that nice. But i guess i will just have to keep trying to piecing 2 of them together. I picked up the 87 BLT that you wanted the steering wheel off of. Had to drive to Anoka, MN to get it

[GonneVille]

Dayamn! You got a bit of a rarity there, ya lucky barstard! Red Bonnies are vanishingly rare.


Anyway, I'm pretty familiar with New Ulm, used to be up there every couple of weeks to deliver TimberTech to a lumberyard right off the highway.

[Krenzy]

Wow! I knew that the Red Bonne's were a bit on the uncommon side, though I didn't know that until after I bought it. No rust at all, a couple of scuffs on the paint...but for 246K miles and a '96, and Minnesota winters. I think I got lucky. Gonneville, you don't know how rare it is to find anyone knows where New Ulm is!

Freddy, you should have let me know you were in Anoka. I was just there last month. Hallowe'en Capitol of the World there, so I HAD to go!

[Gumball]

this is why

I won a '96 SSE, Bright Red with Black leather interior, .

I'm sure you ment to type Own and not Won

I think bright red is the rarest color out there. I've only seen a few, and only one SSE. Never personally seen an SSEi, but there's been a couple members here with them.

As for New Ulm, there's a lumber yard on the edge of town, first exit off 14 coming in from the east. I delivered there about once every other month. Even stopped in Mankato a few times to visit Haro.
I've also deliivered to Springfield, and even Sleepy Eye.
