• 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 MBP WRX wagon, 103k miles, two owner - $9000

I bought this back in April and planned on keeping it for a while, but started a business and needed a truck. I bought a truck and need to sell this to get rid of the monthly payment and get more space in my driveway.

It is a great car, bought it from the original owner. I have every maintenance record on the car from the day it was bought, including the original window sticker and all. Ever since I have purchased it I have kept a log of gas fillups, oil changes, etc. I have tons of records for this car.

It is a 5-spd and runs great, fun to drive, no issues at all. Brakes are good, tires are only like a year old.


The car is BONE STOCK. The only thing that I changed was I polished the headlights and painted the inside of them black. Not the lens itself, just around the reflector inside the light. Looks really good.

This car is a completely unmolested and not beat on WRX. VERY hard to find. The guy I bought it from was older and had kids, it was his commuter. I am older and have kids and it was my commuter. This was never raced, never driven like an asshat.


Now the bad, the car needs a little body work. It had some dings and stuff when I bought it. The front lip of the hood has a big ding and there is a big ding over the driver's passenger door. The front lower skirt on the bumper also has a little damage/deep scratches. The worst part is that some idiot backed into me in the parking lot a few months ago. It needs a new passenger side front door, although I do have one in the garage that goes with it, correct color and all but would need paint and blending. Wouldn't need to jamb it though. It would be an easy fix, replace door, minor body work on rear door, paint and done. Body shop quoted me $1600 for a brand new door, replacing it, painting the entire thing, etc. You can get out MUCH less by putting the door on it since it wouldn't have the cost of the door, installing the door, or jambing the door.

This is a great car that has a great interior and great drivetrain that just needs a bit of body work to be perfect. With this low of miles this car will last a LONG time.

I'm taking it at lunch to be detailed and then I'll post pictures.

$9000 obo
 


You can see the door damage in the first picture.

Price is OBO as well, really would like to sell this soon.
 
wish i had extra money to spend, this would be a nice little sleeper because it does look like itl be fast with that goofy front end

Bump for the local
 
It is pretty quick, but with a little bit of work these things can be made wicked fast. It's like a go-kart. The aftermarket for these things are HUGE.
 
A friend of mine has an 05 and its stupid fast, just hangin with him ive learned alot about this motors and what they can take, if i had extra monies id be all over this and had the extra room to work and play with it and plus your local...hmmmm
Trade for my grand prix????? maybe????...lol jkjk
 


I'm going to start designing and selling car parts, I am a mechanical designer by trade. I have a few F-body parts I've designed and am working on some w-body stuff too. I'm also going to start rebuilding cars.

I've been doing design work for other people for almost 11 years now, HVAC design for almost 9. I am very tired of this work and want to get into doing what I've always wanted to do. :)
 


Thanks man, I appreciate it. So far for the W-bodies I have the stuff to convert LS1 brakes to bolt-on to the cars (easy, just a drill press and tap plus a bunch of banjo bolts lying around) and am working on a bracket to get C5/C6 brakes on the cars. I think someone may already do that, but not sure. I know I can do it cheaper. I also have a design for a thin metal version of the cheap black strips that go on the top of the door panels. Seems like EVERYONE needs those and they aren't difficult to design/make. Going to send that out to be prototyped here shortly.

But first things first, I need to get this WRX out of my driveway. :th_laugh-lol3:
 
Oh, and if anyone has any ideas for designs of things for these cars, please let me know. Obviously I won't sell anything until I am a sponsor, but I can get ideas for designs. :)
