• 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.

For Sale 1995 bmw m3 - Cobalt SS Network

Very nice and clean, link is above, thanks for taking a look!

Hello all,

Up for sale is my 1995 BMW M3 that has 116,000 miles on it. I bought this car near the end of summer and it is an extremely fun cruiser but the fact of the matter is that I miss my Cobalt game and am looking into buying another. This car has never been in a crash and has all the original VINs on the panels such as the doors, fenders, hood, trunk, etc. The previous owner hit a raccoon with the front bumper so that was replaced and he had the car repainted a matching yellow with a slight pearl to it. The paint job is not the best but keeping that in mind this is a 17-year-old car it didn’t bother me knowing it was in much better condition than the other ones I looked at.

Mechanically this car is in great condition. The cooling system was replaced 20k miles ago by the previous owner, which included a water pump, radiator, and hoses. Fan clutch is also in great condition. If you have done any research on these cars you know that is the common weak point on them. The engine runs perfect and has no CELs and no leaks of oil or coolant. Transmission shifts perfect (5 speed manual) with no grinds or anything. I average 26-28 MPG driving it and to say the least I’m extremely easy on all the cars I own, anyone I know can attest to this.

Modifications on the car include:

Engine- UUC System-U with straight tips installed 2 months ago and probably has 1-1.5k miles if that.

Drivetrain- Rogue short throw shifter with MOMO shift knob.

Suspension- Koni adjustable struts and shocks with Eibach Sportline springs, Hamann strut bar, Turner Motorsport rear shock mount reinforcement plates (rear shock mounts are weak on these cars and this is basically essential to have).

Wheels- SSR Type-C rims (extremely light)

The car is rust free apart from a small amount of surface rust on the trunk near the lock, I was quoted $261 to fix this by a local body shop that has been in business for over 30 years and has an extremely good reputation.

More pictures will be included when I get time to take them. For potential buyers interested in E36 M3s: I was in the same boat as you a few months ago when I was looking for mine and I can honestly say a clean one is extremely hard to come across now days that hasn’t been in a crash or have major rust problems. This is the exact reason why I ended up buying this from Indiana because the ones I found in Michigan did not meet my standards.

This is a fun car do drive and handles amazingly and gets TONS of looks from other people. I have the original window sticker and a bunch of receipts from things I have fixed up since owning it. I currently am on the west side of the state of Michigan for school but live on the east side near Lapeer, Michigan. I don’t need to sell this car at all but if the right buyer comes along I will let her go. Feel free to contact me on here or send an email to [email protected] and I will contact you as soon as I can. Like always thanks for looking!
