Hello Guys and Dolls!
I still have this TGP. It needs to go. I've held out as long as I could. If someoe dosen't buy it it very soon it will be parted. I really dont want to shread the car, but if I must, I must.
Updates: Needs a battery and most likely a starter. Parked it after trying to start it killed the battery and sent all the gaugues on the dash going nuts. Pretty sure the starter has grounded internally.
I have posted the orignial text from the old post.
Greetings folks.
It's been a while since I've been to the board. Well the time has come to move on something else. So I must sell my 1990 GTP. I'm offering it here first because the general public dosent understand or apprciate these cars, and I would hate to see it get destroyed due to miss understanding or lack of knowledge of the car. I dont have the time right now to dedicate to restoring this car. Here;s the details:
1990 Pontiac Gran Prix GTP
158k miles
Red, with beachwood interior
Bone stock.
Whats wrong : paint is shot, driver seat is torn badly, headliner is starting to droop, front air dam is in shreads (have new replacment)
All the following parts were replaced within the last two years, 10-20k mi.
ABS - acumulator, pressure switch
Ignition- all three coils (GM-Delco), ign. modul (GM-Delco),wires (GM), Plugs-Rapid fires
Cooling- right side elctric fan motor and blade
Emissions- O2 sensor, Idel control valve at throttle plate
Brakes- both rear calipers, front and rear pads, front rotors front calipers
Power antenea - mast and cable
Park Brake - Front cable (GM)
Heater - Core (Autozone)
What needs to be done: Turbo wastegate actuator vlave is bad (Scarry on the road!)
Check gagues light is stuck on the dash. Feels like it needs an alignment
Head rest air blader on driver side not working
Power door locks takes to two or three hits with the switch to lock(driver)
Express window down dose not work
Tape player will get stuck just keep flipping
Keyless entry is flaky
Trans slams when you dont step on the gas hard enough, otherwise works fine.
What still works: Radio(no cd) hud, sun(Moon) roof, power seat, pw, tilt, ac,ptrunk, cruise, all air bladers (except those mentioned) , Power mirrors, Compass, trip computer, steering wheel controls, all the gagues,
Tires are still good, runs strong, no smoke, Trans oil was changed when I got it (25k mi ago) oil change regularly at 3500, running mobile 1 synthetic, still has original wheels, owners manual, keys, remote, exhaust and exhaust tips.
By no means a show car, but still looks ok and runs like a bat out of H---
when you get on the gas. No mods have been done. I have taken this car to Las Vegas several times with no problems, San Deigo, Sacramento and Flagstaff Az. Each time with no problems. I have no doubt that this car could make an interstate drive with out problems. Just top off the fulids, fill er up with gas and hit the road.
$2400. 00 Obo, In the Los Angeles area. Pix on request.

I must agree. Your asking price might be a large part of the reason why that car hasn't sold yet. I also picked up mine with a decent body, much better paint, and nearly flawless interior for $404 on eBay. I'm sure you've spent a decent chunk of change on repairs and such, but as anyone who knows anything about buying and selling cars will tell you, you don't get your money back for those sorts of things. Cars are not an investment, they are a money pit.
Usually, the price range you're asking picks you up a really nice condition TGP. The only way they go for more is if they're
immaculate with
extremely low miles for the year. But with the amount of miles on your car, the sagging front valance, the dier need of a paint job and driver's seat, that price is a bit much. In all honesty, I wouldn't ask more then $1,000 for it. Just telling you what I've seen out of experience. I shopped for TGPs for a while before I picked up mine. :shock:
Yes, the price is DEFINATELY WAY to high! I'd like to know where your gonna scrap it that will give you that for it. I would ask closer to $500 for it if it were me. I mean, come on, you can't even get it to start right now, and it has 158,000 miles on it!!! If you would look around and see the people that are begging to get $3,000 for their MINT CONDITION 80-90k mile TGP's you will understand why yours hasn't sold.

So how much are you asking right now?
Whoops! Fogot to post the new price! Was looking for $1k. However, it dose include a new front air dam and the service manual. Local pick your part will give me $1k. But, I dont want to junk it. I'd hate to see it junked. but.... If i must, I must.
Thanks for the input!
