• 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.

FS: 2001 Grand Prix GTP Coupe, 119,700 miles, NE Ohio

Drive XR7

New member
I have decided to sell my clean 2001 Bronzemist Grand Prix GTP Coupe, with 119,700 miles. It is fully optioned out - Bose, moonroof, Heads-up display, GTP. I am selling because I need something with 4 doors now that I have a kid. (putting a kid in a carseat in the back is no easy task!) I used this as a daily driver since 2010 when I purchased it from the original owner at 64k. I didn't drive this too often, but have kept it in as great of condition as I could considering its age. As I'm sure you know, GTP coupes are somewhat rare. I have full documentation of any maintenance or part replacement that I've done, including receipts. I have religiously changed the oil, every 5000 miles with Mobil 1 10w30 with a K&N HP-1001 filter. This was my pride and joy for some time, so during this car's lifetime it was never neglected. This needs no work and is a good drive as is. I am asking $3500 OBO. PM or E-mail me if you are interested - [email protected].

Performance parts installed:

· Thrasher CAI w/ clean filter
· ZZP PCM 1.0
· ZZP 3" downpipe
· ZZP 2.5" stainless steel catback
· 3.5" press on pulley w/ Gates belt
· Autolite 104 plugs
· ZZP diagonal braces
· ZZP voltage vooster
· ZZP front and rear strut tower braces
· GMPP front and rear sway bars
· UMI trailing arms
· 180* drilled thermostat

It handles pretty well, far better than stock with the sways and strut tower braces. It runs Goodyear Eagle GT 225/60/16 rubber on factory 16" torque star wheels. The rubber is about 60% worn. Front brake pads are Raybestos Advanced Tech Ceramic Disc pads, have about 20k on them with plenty of life remaining. Front rotors and rear pads are and rotors are new.

I've replaced or added the following parts recently:

· Supercharger fluid
· Carbon Cabin air filter
· Auxillary tape deck mod'd to add auxillary-in 3.5mm cable
· Plugs, wires, PCV valve, all filters all done in the last 30k
· Both Headlight bulbs, both fog lamp bulbs
· Timkin axle bearing/hub assembly replacement for front passenger side
· 2004 Grand Prix GT leather seats including heated drivers seat. Including parts to wire up passenger heat
· GM #15794785 water deflector (new design to prevent leak into passenger foot area)
· Replaced rear struts with Monroe Quick Struts
· Replace transmission cooling lines with ACDelco replacements
· Replace Power Steering return line with ACDelco replacement
· Rotors/pads
· Drivers side temperature actuator
· HVAC unit
· Supercharger belt tensioner assembly
· Supercharger belt "smooth" idler pulley
· New serpentine and supercharger belts
· 20% window tint rear windows
· Grille inserts (will include originals)
· Replacement headlights -- no leaks, fogging, etc, they are in great condition
· Altezza tail-lights tinted by Flip to 50%. They look awesome.
· Red side GTP badges, debaged "Grand Prix" from rear
· Chrome inserts for "Pontiac" logo on rear bumper

As you can see, I have kept up with maintenance on this vehicle. It has also been sealed/waxed and maintained with Zaino and Adams products. It's sparkles nicely for a vehicle of its age.

The bad:
· I have to recharge the A/C every summer. I had a shop diagnose the issue and it's a leak in the compressor.
· A minor oil leak. A few drops here and there, but not a big deal.
· A small dent in the hood, 1 on the drivers side, a few chips in the front bumper and hood, otherwise the body is in great condition
· Rust: I drove this during winters in NE Ohio. It has your standard rust in the rear wheelwells, but it only shows on the passenger side. There is standard rocker rust as you'd expect for a vehicle DD'd in the winter. Overall it's not bad and I'd estimate 10+ years of good life in this vehicle.
· Interior cabin lights do not work. The fuse pops immediately if you try to replace it. I have taken the whole headliner down to look for a short but was unable to find it. I bought the car with this problem and have learned to live with it. It's not a big deal, in my opinion. Original owner did not disclose this to me and I had to find out on my way home.
· ABS light. I have not had it scanned to determine which ABS sensor is not working.

I tracked it once. It ran a 14.0 @ 99mph in the 1/4mile at Norwalk Raceway Park with minimal wheelspin. It's faster than that today because I've added additional performance parts. It's no slouch and is fun to drive. On the freeway, I average about 28MPG if I keep my foot out of it... which is hard sometimes because this gets up and goes.

I'll let the photos speak for themselves. You can tell it's a clean car. No accidents or bodywork.
