• 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.

Time to let go of the 98. Bought this for daughter #2 in 2006 when she got her license. She took it to college, I got it back when she went to grad school, she got it back when she got a job teaching, now she is moving to York, England to get her Doctorate degree.

  • Car is 100% stock, a good solid daily driver, and is inspected and on the road now.
  • I just had 4 brand new Goodyear Eagles installed around Thanksgiving last year, very few miles on them.
  • Transmission was rebuilt in the Fall of either 2008 or 2009 at around 110k miles. Rebuild was done by LaFleur Transmission in Bristol, CT. Serviced regularly, no shift kit, but shifts smooth and firm.
  • Lower Intake manifold gasket and associated work (water pump, Dorman elbows, etc.) done in summer of 2013. I didn't plug the coolant port in the LIM, but I did replace the UIM and all associated parts. Had the fuel injectors ultrasonically cleaned with the ASNU process while the fuel rail was out.
  • Lower engine mount, transmission mount, and oil pan replaced in Spring of 2014.
  • Summer of 2014 at about 150k miles, I did a bunch of preventative maintenance. Replaced both drive axles, both front hub bearings, lower control arms (including bushings and ball joints), sway bar ends, and tie rods. New KYB spring/strut assemblies front and rear. New fuel pump. New brake pads and rotors all around.
  • Earlier this year I replaced both rear hub bearings, rear brake lines from the ABS unit to the calipers, and both transmission cooler lines.
  • Some rust on the rear inner rockers, the rear passenger side has a hole in the door sill but you can't see it from the outside with the door closed.
  • Paint is mostly in decent condition with some chips and scratches. I compounded and waxed, but the spoiler needs to be repainted.
  • Pioneer CD/MP3 with iPod and steering wheel controls installed. Head unit will support both Bluetooth hands-free and Sirius/XM radio if you buy those accessories. OEM radio died. Also replaced all 4 speakers with Pioneer coaxials.
  • A/C is still ice cold.
  • Running Mobil 1 High Mileage Synthetic 10W30 with a 5k change interval.
  • Belts and hoses are fairly new, new 190 t-stat.
  • Leather interior. Door panels and floor mats replaced in 2013 from a very clean 2002 donor at Pull-a-Part.

I am listing this here before CL, this car is great for a winter beater, someone's first car or a downtown commuter. I'm offering it here for $1200 before I try to get more on CL. If you are interested PM me and I will hold it for you. Car is located in East Islip NY, 11730.

Re: 1998 GT Sedan

98 was a funky year. And its from NY (salt) so that scares away some people. Car looks clean for being 18 years old. i think you could get closer to $2k on CL.
 
Re: 1998 GT Sedan

That's what I thought...it's on CL here for $1900. Average dealer retail from KBB and NADA is right at $2900, private party is $1700-$1800. It's got a ton of new mechanical parts and runs like a top, except the rust is winning....

Offering it for $1200 here since you guys have helped me a ton, that's the "friends and family" price.

But, it would make someone a good car for another year or two or three....somebody's first car, station/commuter, or maybe somebody struggling financially who needs a cheap car to get back/forth to work until they get on their feet again.
