• 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.

2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP

2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. Second owner, bought it with 99,xxx miles on it the summer of 12' from Imlay City Auto Sales. It currently has 117,xxx miles on it and will slowly increase as it it my daily driver. I've kept this car in the same shape as it was when I bought it which was incredible. There are only two spots that are starting to rust and they are shown in the pictures of the rear door rockers. The interior is like new with almost no signs of wear and no tears at all. The exterior is in pretty good shape with just a couple paint scuffs and absolutely no body damage.
List of new parts/aftermarket:

K&N lifelong drop in air filter
New headlight housings
Spyder LED taillights
8K HIDs in the head and fog lights
Small sound system
Drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic brake pads summer of 14'
New starter last month
New front wheel hub assemblies
5% tinted windows
ZZPerformance computer tune that helps with power increase as well as gas mileage
Avital 5303 Remote start/Security system
Black Plasti dipped stock polished torque star rims
LED switchback front turn signal bulbs
6.5 inch pioneer front door speakers
12 inch Polk sub
1600 watt Boss Amp

It has never been in a crash and has a clean history to back it up. I believe that is all but I may have missed a few things. The car is relatively fast and spins the tires with no problem. The trans is in excellent shape and shows no sign of wear. The car really is in great shape. I wash it at least once if not twice a week. The reason I am selling it is I'm looking to upgrade to a Pontiac G8 GT. It was my first car and I hate to see it go but I'm in need of something a little faster. It's a great first car for a kid who just got their license.
Location: Lexington, MI asking $6000

I'm curious as to how you got your door panels that way, black on tan. I have the same color car and mine has all black leather interior. Did you pull different door panels?
 
It's really just the light grey leather on a darker grey panel and I have no clue haha. It came that way when I bought it. I figured that's how most of the gtp's of that year were.
 


Hmm interesting. Personally I like the look of it. It almost looks like the door panels from a Special Edition minus the badges on them.
 
Thanks for the offer! Haha 1 Grand Prix is enough work considering the previous owners never kept up with the maintenance. Transmission fluid never changed, coolant never flushed, valve cover gaskets never changed, intake manifold needed replacement. I'm sure yours doesn't have these problems. Costing me $$$$ lol.
 


From the fact that it's still in really good shape, I have a decent amount of money in it and also I'm in no hurry to sell it. Not trying to come off rude, but I know what the car is worth.
 
Except for the fact that the rockers are rotting, which with these cars is a major deal breaker. And doing routine maintenance and adding some ZZP products doesn't add 2k to the book value of a car.

Next time you buy a car do some research on it first so you don't get ass raped by a dealer. And don't try to get some other sucker to make up for your mistakes.

Truth hurts when you don't want to hear it.

Try craigslist maybe some retard on there will buy it from you.
 
Mines was mint, with no rust and tons of upgrades, with 110,000 on it. Couldn't sell it for 3500.00. These cars don't hold value at all. Good luck with your sale but keep that in mind.
 
Like I said I'm in no hurry to sell it and until I get an offer I want I'll just keep driving it. Trust me I know I'm asking a lot for it but I don't have to sell it. Not trying to start an argument buddy.
 


I'm not trying to start an argument, I'm just giving you a heads up that at that price it will never sell here. Most anyone on here would give you is maybe $3000 and that just depends on how it looks underneath the car and if the strut towers are in good shape.
 
Is this one of those "My wife's making me sell it" type deals? That's the only way I could see this asking price. Not trying to be a dick, but I'd be jumping for joy if someone offered me $3k for that car. Good luck with the sale and all, but I just don't see it happening. Put some money into the rockers and it will sell for more, IMO.
