• 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.

98 GTP for sale

Up for sale is a '98 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. Silvermist with black leather interior. Power moonroof, heads up display, heated driver's seat and Alpine CD player. I purchased this a little while back and now I'm getting a job about 80 miles each away so I'm looking to get something more economical. This car is modded from the previous owner, I've done little maintenance items but almost everything in and on the car is from the previous owner.


The car itself has around 155K miles on it but the engine has around 40K on it while the transmission has less than 3K on it. The previous owner owned his own shop in upstate Pennsylvania. The car has a cold air intake, a 3.25'' pulley on the supercharger, Pacesetter headers and a catback exhaust(I don't what kind) along with a DHP tuned PCM(computer) The brakes are good, has Eibach 1'' lowering springs with KYB shocks/struts along with a strut tower brace. Autometer boost gauge, wideband and oil pressure gauges in center heater vents(why he did that is beyond me). I was going to change them to the A-pillar but now that I'm going to be working so far away I won't have the time). It also has clear/altezza tail lights.


Newer tires up front, rears are getting a bit low. The car will need an EGR valve assembly as the previous owner blocked it off along with the washer bottle hoses run to the nozzles. The blower motor makes some noise at times. No A/C compressor either, the previous owner removed it as it locked up so it has the delete kit on it.


It's a decent car that needs some work, pretty fast for what it is. It is however a 16yr old car with 155k miles, it's not perfect. Now that I'm going to be working so far away I need a Civic or Cobalt or something along those lines to get me to and from work without costing a bundle.


Negotiable on price, just looking to get close to what I paid for it. Pics to come soon, email if interested. Car is located in lower Bucks County.

$2600 obo Pics to come soon, car has road salt all over it.

If anyone is interested(which I doubt lol) I have some pics but the car is dirty...would rather not post unless someone has interest.
 
im not interested in buying but was wondering your signature says slightly ported heads, is this how you get by without rockers?
 
Not sure, the previous owner did that(he owned his own shop)...I haven't modded the car at all. I haven't gone through all of the paperwork that came with the car, it might have rockers on it. I have the torque app and there's no knock at WOT(though I've only done that blast twice).
 


I said what I did because I have never seen a pulley that small on the mods you have listed.I would go through the paperwork and see whats actually been done to the car.I would say it has rockers at least or the timing is backed off.I don't think its a bad asking price but any potential buyer is going to have the same questions I do.
 
I hear ya, sorry for getting snippy...I HATE selling cars and even more so online.

I know the boost is backed off to 7#'s...the previous owner modified the wastegate(I thought it was stupid but he says he does it on every L32 he owns/owned).
 
I'm having a brain fart of the name of the part that controls the boost, he made it adjustable(so f'in stupid), has it limited to 7#'s of boost(if I was keeping the car I would get rid of the stupidity lol)
 
So the car has a low idle misfire after warming up...it happened after I washed the car a few weeks ago(didn't hose down the engine bay). Happened right after that. Idles fine for 10-15 seconds until it warms up..yet over 1500 it's fine...weird. I haven't had time to look at it nor do I care to...make an offer and come get it.
 


..or maybe you can not bump an almost 3 month old thread. ;). Kidding. I'm not really gonna bother having it looked at or trying to prep it for a sale

At this point I'm just junking it, not worth the hassle of getting it looked at(though it's probably something stupid), I work too many hours and now drive much nicer things to worry about this POS. Unless I get a grand for it in the next 2 weeks it's going to the junkyard :). It'd make a great parts car or something to drive if someone fixes the idle misfire...but sadly I haven't a care in the world about the car. Someone buy it and part it out or find it in a local yard ;)

One thousand doll hairs you say? Did you happen to look through any more of the paperwork too see what all had been done to the car? Is this a coupe or a sedan?
 


Do dolls come with that many hairs?

The guy never sent the other stuff I asked and I just didn't care anymore and never asked again. It's a coupe. At this point it's a parts car, I can't market it any other way since I couldn't care less about looking into the issue.
 
Okay. Let me get back to ya in the next couple of weeks. Can you pm me some picks of the car, I also would like to see what the rocker panels look like and what the rear strut towers look like.
 
I'll send some pics, pm me your email. No point in sending pics of the rockers, they're gone.

This is pretty much a parts car at this point.
