• Failure to follow these rules may result in your threads being locked, deleted, or moved. Depending on the severity of your actions, or frequency of your actions, your user account could be suspended or banned. These rules are to help protect both buyer and seller.


    1. CONSOLIDATE all of your for sale items into ONE thread only. This means there will be NO making multiple sales threads for different items regardless if the parts are related or not.

    2. PRICE IS REQUIRED. We do not permit ads without an asking price for each item. "Best Offer" is not an allowable substitute for posting a price. You may ask for $1 but a price must be listed regardless. If a price is not listed with in the first 24 hours of making your sale thread IT WILL BE LOCKED or DELETED. Once a price is listed a bidding war is not permitted. If the seller gets an offer that meets his asking price, the seller should honor the asking price and sell for that amount.

    3. EBAY LINKS AND OTHER LINKS. We allow links to ebay ads, but you MUST have a buy-it-now price posted, or an asking price to stop the auction in your ad here (Not just in the link). If it is from another site or from here, do not use a link but post the full text instead with pictures if you have them listed. If a BIN price is not posted, then your thread will be DELETED.

    4. CITY / STATE are required info for each ad. Information must be posted in the first post of thread, NO EXCEPTIONS. Buyers and sellers reserve the rights to privately ask for full contact information on any purchase or sale. 24 hour notice will be given, if you do not comply your post will be DELETED.

    5. NO TWO PARTY SALES. This means no more "I'm selling for a friend" posts and will be deleted immediately with no notice. Seller assumes all responsibility of anything they post for sale.

    6. NO FEELER THREADS. You are either selling it or you aren’t selling it.

    7. POST COUNT AND/OR TIME LIMIT. We are requesting that you spend some time with us before you start a For Sale thread. A pre-determined minimum number of posts will be required or 1 year since creating the account + an intro thread (just so we know you aren’t the Prince of Africa). Any for sale thread posted out of the For Sale section to circumvent the rules will result in being deleted. Those who do meet the criteria and post outside the section will have their thread moved, constant violation of this will result in an infraction.

    8. NO BUMPING OR TT’ing YOUR THREAD MORE THAN ONCE IN 48 HOURS. Don’t worry your thread will still be a bold read until a user reads it and if people are really interested they will let you know. Post warning will be issued if in violation and on the 3rd warning, the thread will just be locked.

    9. NO THREAD DUMPING OR I DON’T LIKE YOUR PRICE. Don’t post in a person’s thread just to tell them they are too high, either move along and say nothing or throw an offer to them. The person can sell it at whatever price they think someone is willing to pay. Offenders will be issued a warning, if it is a constant issue then an infraction will be issued.

    10. KEEP YOUR THREAD UP TO DATE. This is really for your benefit, so you don’t get 10 PMs asking if you still have it when you already sold it.

    11. NO WEAPONS. As Admins we have determined that no weapons will be allowed to be sold, this includes knives, guns and anything else deemed a weapon (even if its a wall hanger only). We ask that if you want to sell these items you seek out the appropriate websites elsewhere to do so.

    12. Pictures are REQUIRED. Pictures of all items for sale. This is to help BOTH seller and buyer. As a seller it is MUCH easier to sell something if you have pictures of it. As a buyer you feel better seeing exactly what you are buying. Pictures should contain the item/s for sale and a sign of some kind that has your username on it. 24 hour notice will be given, if you do not comply your post will be DELETED.

    FRAUD & RISK. Buy and Sell at your own risk. Grand Prix Forums and its staff are not responsible if someone rips you off or doesn't send parts out in a timely manner. This classifieds section is a free service for the community, and it is YOUR responsibility to handle all transactions in a low-risk method. DO NOT contact us if there is a dispute between you and someone else, we are NOT INVOLVED. You can help minimize fraud risk by doing these suggestions:

    Pay using PAYPAL, using a credit card. This way, if a part does not arrive, you can do a charge back through your credit card company. If you gift it, then you have no recourse to get your money back when things fall through. Pay the 3% and have the buyer protection. Using someone else's paypal and gifting to pay for goods is violating Paypal's Terms of Service.



    Always ask for full name, residential address, phone numbers of both buyers and sellers. An honest seller should have no problem disclosing this info to you privately.


    Shipping things C.O.D. is risky. Try to use UPS or Fedex, so that you can track shipments. Have someone sign for it if it is expensive.


    Ask for references from other members, hopefully from other members who have been registered for longer than one year and are active here.


    Use your gut feeling. If something seems too good to be true, or a seller/buyer seems a little shady, don't take the risk.

    TIPS:
    -Post pictures: with mobile phones these days and auto uploads, it’s not even really hard anymore. Have it automatically drop in Photobucket, grab the Img tag link and paste it in.

    -Give good contact information if you aren’t going to be on here a lot.

    -If you are going to disappear for an extended time (vacation, time in jail, what have you), then give us a quick note that you aren’t going to be around. People will trust you a little more.

    -Look around and gauge your price with other items. Just cause you bought it for $1000, doesn’t mean it’s now worth $1,200 or even the original $1,000. You are free to ask what ever you want, but an item that is priced right will sell quicker.
  • The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What's my 2003 GTP Limited worth?

Unless you find a sucker..can't expect kbb out of a 10+ year old car especially ones that's been modded. Demod, return car back to stock then sell like that bet you'll get more bites like that

Well I'm not in a huge hurry to sell I was figuring on throwing it on Craigslist for $6200 and see what happens. No way I'm demodding. Tranny alone was close to $4000 and that was only 10k miles ago.
 
It won't hurt if you have some time to sell it. Thing is most guys are cautious about buying modded cars just because of that hidden what if factor. If something was to break it could be costly or who's to say the work was done right unless of course you know who did it. Trans I would keep in the car unless you wanted to remove that and sell separately. All the other parts I would remove and sell separately and throw the stock parts back on and still probably ask $5k for the car because of the mileage and advertise it as stock. The word modded scares buyers away!
 


Yeah i hear you there. Guess see what happens. Don't really want to get rid of it anyways but if someone has the cash buh bye GTP.

Or you live in North Dakota, I watched a guy sell a 2001 GTX that was in meh condition with 195k miles on it for $5000 to some guy.
 
Jobs might pay well but the cost of living there is horrendous. Good luck finding a ****ty apartment for less than $1200 a month.

Depends on where in ND obviously, I live on the east side of the state and even that housing is getting insane. Even in the Fargo Grand Forks area used cars sell for pretty decent prices. Pics and mileage of the car would help. Looks like its got a nice list of mods as long as the work is done properly.

The hard lesson to learn is that VALUE is not in what you THINK something is worth, but what someone is willing to pay for it. Baseball Cards is the prime example or Tickle Me Elmo's... Lol, showing my age a bit!

To gauge interest and then say you should get more is only being in denial and showing disappointment that others do not have the same interest or values you place in something. A $4k tranny to you, is maybe $1k to me (used) as I have no idea what you did to it. S2IC, same... Maybe 50% value on used resale is you're lucky and it's in tip top condition. No use denying it, but there's good suggestions here, you just have to decide what you want. Throw the bait out there and see if you get bites. Or take the time, demod, sell car as stock and get some good $ back on the parts as they're always worth more than the whole. : )

Now, if it was a crazy Whipple car, it would probably be sold before it made CL... :D
just sayin...

Anyways, GLWS, no matter what you decide.
 
I would ask 6000..

When I first bought my 01 GT with 49500 miles, I put it on craigslist for 7200, kbb was at about 5000 I think.

I had multiple people wanting to drive a good hour or two to come and pick it up.

My thoughts, KBB has nothing on these cars with LOW miles, they cant find a good price, and find the right person they pay ALOT.

I only bought it for 4300, could of made a huge profit, but Im still driving it with 6k more miles on it.

Eastern ND, not western, jobs are at min wage here in Fargo, least fast food. Same places out west pay a good 8$ more.
