• 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.

2003 Grand Prix GTP Limited Edition - original owner, Pittsburgh area, 187K miles

Hello all. Problems with subject vehicle are detailed here: http://www.grandprixforums.net/threads/106671-U1301-Code

And so it's time. Pics will follow, it's blue black with the special spoiler. On the one hand, most of the miles were easy - I had a long commute, didn't drive it hard, I kept up with Amsoil and what-not, including changeout in the supercharger. LIM gasket done (and upper and valve cover while you're at it...) at about 120K. Engine sounds good, cruise still works, air conditioner's been done (converted to the new stuff) and still works; virtually no wear on anything inside but the drivers' seat. Original embroidered mat on passenger side, why I didn't keep the driver's side mat aside I'll never know - wore a hole in it an my wife pitched it. Tires are Goodyear Tripletread new just before last winter - I have the Sam's Club paperwork. Amsoil oil change 7 wks ago. If I could get a cheap tranny and do the work, it'd be on the road again, but that's over my head (in more ways than one - and I don't have a lift).

On the other hand, the tranny is probably gone, or at least the lock-up converter. The paint is hard and the quarter panels have the usual rust - driver's side is barely hanging on. TCS doesn't worked, radio clock light is out, and the gas gauge hasn't worked for a while,(thought the mileage computer and "fuel used", oil life calulationr & boost gauge work fine); both key fobs got lost. If I trade it in, it's headed to the auction. I'd rather see it go to one of y'all for parts or project. The car is immobile, or you'd better not have far to go.

I'll update later tonight with pics, VIN, sticker and more info. I still have the window sticker and original sales literature. I have no idea what to ask.

And I tried to upload pics and kept getting "Upload failed". I'll try again sometime tomorrow. (9/24) and I still can't.

Well you can only do one at a time, apparently, and they have to be small. Basically, (in addition to the above)it's a single owner, all original - even the air & sunroof work, just replaced the fuel filter, good for parts at least. Good set of tires as well. I'll try to do the front tomorrow. I'd hate to see it go to the junkyard if one of you could use the car. What do cars like this go for on here? $500? $1000? Looking at the modded 2002 posted, I can't imagine too much more than that.

And apparently you can't do more that 142 KB total, which is not very much when it comes to pictures. I'd kick some bucks into the bandwidth drive if I thought it'd help...

I am very pleased to report that a forum member here has agreed to take the car into his care; he has the means and abilities to do so. So one more GTP Limited Edition will continue to soldier on! He picked it up today - moderators can delete this thread.
