• 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.

Corsa Catback For Sale (compatible with 1997+ grand prix's with dual tip exhausts)

Hey guys!

Haven't been on here in a long time, as I have been without my grand prix for about 3 years :/. I still miss it.

I am back on here to sell the Corsa Catback exhaust I had for it. If you go on Corsa's website, they say it is only compatible with 1997-2003 grand prixs....that is wrong. I had it on my 2005 grand prix. Most of you probably could have figured that out on your own, since I'm sure most of you already know that both generations have the same exhaust set up (with the exception of the last few years when the base model did not have a y pipe dual tip exhaust).

I bought this catback used off of a member here a long time ago. It was in good shape then, still is now...with the exception of it being a bit bent because the person I bought it from was rear-ended with that catback on their car. I never tried to fix that. The exhaust still fit my car fine, it just hung low in one spot. One of the tips has some scratches on it from that accident as well, but they are not noticeable when its on the car.

The catback sounded great! I don't believe there are many sound clips out there of them on grand prixs. I actually have some before and after one's on youtube at idle (search 2005 pontiac grand prix gt stock exhaust or corsa catback and you should be able to find it), those don't do the catback justice. It sounds so much better when the car is in gear. I never got any sound clips of that unfortunately, because you did not really hear the true sound of it from the cabin of the car, and I just never asked anyone to stand on the side of the road and record it for me. Basically, the exhaust is plenty loud, with minimal extra cabin noise. I'm sure if you wanted more you could just weld a straight pipe in place where the resonator on the catback is placed. Oh and that remind's me, when I bought it there were pinhole sized leaks around the resonator...my dad welded those shut so they are fixed.

I was holding onto this catback with the intention of using the mufflers in the future on something else because I love how it sounded, but I will be going to graduate school soon so I need the extra money to put towards my savings for living costs when I move. I want this exhaust to go to someone who will really enjoy it, so this forum was my first stop to attempt to sell it.

If you were to buy a brand new catback from corsa, you will be paying $1380 if you choose the lowest shipping cost at $20. I am selling mine for $750 OBO. I will try to log back on here to check on this thread, but you're better off contacting me on my email, [email protected], if you have any questions or want to send me an offer. I will be checking that more often. I AM LOCATED IN BRISTOL, CT. I would highly prefer to sell this locally. I don't have a probly driving 30-45 minutes to meet someone halfway to sell.

Thanks guys!
 


I've had that same setup on my car for 5 years now. I absolutely love it! Not raspy at all, no drone, and not terribly loud either. If mine were to ever rot out (MN driver here), I wouldn't hesitate to pay full price for another one. If anyone has been looking for the best cat back, look no further. Buy this!!!
 
I see that you guys are quite far from me. I know that no one would be comfortable with cash or checks in the mail for something like this...I am not either. This might be a stupid question, if it is bear with me....how would you guys plan on handling a transaction like that? I was hoping to attract some local attention in the CT, NY, MA, and RI area.

I will be posting pictures in a few hours, some errands to run first.

Handle it with PayPal or cash in hand in person.

Nothing else.

Or post on craigslist.

That's all I would do.

You can also get a debit card through them, there's a $400 a day limit and a $1.50 (i believe it's $1.50 been awhile) charge to withdraw cash at the ATM. But no charge to use it as a debit card.
 


ok guys, i have not received any local attention on this. im on paypal now and ill open this up for anyone anywhere to take it off my hands, i just ask that you pay for shipping. i will be looking into shipping costs soon
 
You can ship big stuff through greyhound bus but I don't know how big. I got a rear bumper but not a hood
