• 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.

Necessity????

Guys don't send their girls to get oil filters and spark plugs, Girls shouldn't send their guys to get their girl filters and plugs.

Ye'all:th_winking:
 
You Ready???
I DO get my own parts, AND, I change my own plugs and wires. I gap em first because they arent always pre gapped like they say. I check and add all of the fluids in Both of our cars! I've set my own timing. I've worked on my girl-friends Denali. I put on my own alternator. I change out batteries, tires, and thermostats.
Also, one day at Auto Zone, a Grown Man didn't know where to put his freon. No one that worked there knew what to tell him. I took him outside and showed him. I also showed him where not to put it.
When I got my first car (84 TA), my husband had to work on it everyday. He HATES that car. He got to a point where he won't tuch it. My car would overheat and I had to figure out on my own what to do. I had to re wire the fans. Or it would blow a fuse. Now, when he works all the time, I have to get HIS parts. I have to check all the antifreeze in all the cars because he's out, and IT'S NOT HARD. I have smaller hands and I think alot of it is easier for me to reach.
I've had my GP for 3(?) years. HE hasn't worked on it yet. I even changed the fuel filter.You better put your woman in the garage!
:th_sign-ohsnap: ;)
 


Your kind is rare! Do you have a younger sister?;)

What's funny is about 5 minutes ago, my co-worker was talking on the phone to his fiance and was telling her to get parts so he could change the oil on her car tonight, needless to say she got all mad and I think she hung up. That reminded me of this thread and I jumped on here...

About 2 weeks ago she called him here at work and he put her on speaker for our entertainment. She is scared of driving in the snow and was crying the whole time she drove and was talking to him. I could not stop laughing thinking about the fact that she is crying in her car, on her cell phone and terrified of driving in the snow, let alone if anyone near her driving saw all this. Ever see the Dane Cook skit about that?

Very good point, especially when the employees behind the counter dont know what they are doing. Example: I needed a Torque arm bushing and the guy kept looking up a control arm bushing. Hmmmm big difference. That was Autozone BTW.
 
I never ask for help! If I don't know what I need, I ask my husband to show me what it looks like. For some reason, the part store employees are complete idiots.

FoSHO: Younger sister? Am I old??
I didn't see that Dane Cook act yet. If I did, I don't remember.:)
 


I wont repeat what I say when I make my second or third trip LOL. I was banned from an autozone in florida for an incident of being given a wrong size belt. :th_chairshot:
 
it's even better when they give you the wrong part, and the computer shows the right part, I have had Oreillys do that at least 6 times (they are by far the worst parts place around here)
 
Good to know. I havent gone to them yet. Back home I used car quest because they supplied auto shops. So the guys behind the counter really knew cars. Down here I have had the best luck with NAPA. but autozone is very close to my house. This is the second time they didnt have a clue here in Charlotte. So I am done with autozone.
 
We only have A.Z., Napa, and O'Reilly. Napa cost Way too much, but they are older,smarter, and a family business. AZone is cheapest but the dumbest. I go to O'Reillys. They'll match the cheaper price, and have a few decent employees. I know a few people who work there. I used to get a hook up. This one guy would warrenty out my plugs and wires. Those were the good ol days.
