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.

I have one that I haven't used in forever. I'll let it go for $150 + PayPal fees shipped to you, including the Keyspan USB adapter. I'm in Fort Lauderdale, FL. I can pull it out and get pics for you tonight if you're interested.

This is the car you're helping me get back on the road where she needs to be. I've worked really hard getting it from the 225$ POS to where it is now over the last 3 months. It had a snapped front sway bar, COMPLETELY rusted out rockers, brake lines and fuel lines. Broken trailing arm, bad fuel pump, no exhaust. The BOUNCIEST front struts I've ever felt, they were beyond shot and one of the springs were broken. The list goes on and on. Luckily I have a 01 regal gs parts car to steal everything from. The previous owner installed a GT trans not knowing they were NOT the same. I personally prefer 2.93s, so rather than just tuning pcm for 3.29s, I switched to an old 15/16ths 2.93 I had laying around and a nice used HD diff setup and tore a shift kit out of another smoked trans core i had laying around. Car has 121k on the clock and runs flawlessly(now, lol). Car is has a thrasher 3.4 mps bolted to a self ported (inlet opened to 75mm awaiting future n* setup, egr divot blended out, outlet opened up, radiused, polished, h bar removed) blower mounted on top of a ZZP from plumbed to a dual pass fmhe. I need to find a set of 42.5 or 60s for a decent deal here soon when I have some extra cash so I can slap on the thrasher 3.0 pulley. Also would like to find an old set of modded rockers cheap, cant afford the newer style ones.Sorry for the long post, just figured you guys might like the story of the junker turned awesome. I'm so excited to drive it. Also, don't bash my diy modded rails, they don't leak a drop and I've made several sets of these in the past with no issues.
I have some stock parts for sale pics are in the photobucket that the red car is hosted on. Black sedan gtp doors, nice paint, no dents, clean black rear bumper excellent paint, no fading, 81k mile cluster, sunroof, dic, and more, let me know if you need something, chances are that I have it. I'm trying to sell off some stuff to fund this project.

Only thing I really need to start off will be a complete L67 or L32 motor minus accessories. It looks like I'll be demodding my car a bit soon and giving it to my little sister. I have my 09 G8 GT with about 81k miles on it and my 2017 Chevy SS ordered in January and arrived beginning of August still sitting in the garage with 14 miles on it, so the Prix has to go soon.

Dude i literally just sold a 120k mile old lady driven l67 longblock 3 weeks ago for 120$. pulled it from a perfectly running no rockers flintstones car.
i regret that now. if you have a cheap way to freight, i can get you a good low mileage engine. my uncle is a parts puller at the local u part it and gets first dibs on all of the cars in the back no ones allowed to touch. which means i have the same priveleges!
