QuoteReally?

this is how the add on Craig's list read:

1990 Turbo Grand Prix. $850

1990 Turbo Grand Prix. This car is 1 of only 3750 of its kind made. It needs front brakes to be driveable. I don't have time to fix it.

Nothing was misrepresented, it could have been my other TGP, he never asked. There is nothing more to be said on this matter.

Now, considering the fact that he asked no other questions about the car when he came to look at it, nor did he say or act as if he knew anything else about these cars, how was anything misrepresented? Even if he thought it was the same car, for all he knew I could have owned two of these cars, there are at least a few people that I know of that own more than one of these cars.
He knows it wasn't misrepresented and obviously not a big deal to him, so that's all I'm going to say on this matter.

He contacted me about the car through a Craig's list listing which mentioned nothing about performance parts. He asked no questions about the car, and made no mention of this site or any knowledge whatsoever about these cars. He had no way of knowing that this was the same car listed on here other than an assumption. This listing doesn't even say where I'm located at. It could have been a completely different car. I was not and would not try to defraud anyone. Anyone who would have contacted me through this sight would have had the chip included. It's only a 10 minute job to swap it by the way.

QuoteI got to purchase this beastly, pretty nice car really outside of the interior falling apart (which is GM build materials versus abuse) and the poor idle (which the missing 160 chip addressed) and the need of a crossover pipe.

I bought it for $700.00 so I am not pissed that Steve did noit leave the chip in but had I known it was not there I would have offerred $650.00.

Oh well.

This weekend will involve putting brakes on it all around and starting the daunting task of cleaning it.

Well, seeing that you bought the car off of Craigs list, not this forum, which made no mention of any performance parts at all and you didn't ask any questions about it, I didn't see any need to mention it. As far as I knew you didn't know what a top gun 160 chip was. I still think you got a good deal and I know where you can get a good deal on a chip if you want one. :icon_wink: I also have a different DIC for the console, which is in much better shape, if you are interested.

Works great.  $200 or Best Offer

OK I lowered the price to $800. Car really needs to go.

OK, this car has been my daily driver for 4 ? years (and still is). It is still a reliable car but it needs some work and I don?t have time anymore to fix it. I would like it to go to someone who can appreciate the car?s potential.

First: The car is a 1990 red TGP Coupe with 166,XXX miles on it. It is located near Lansing, Michigan (48842). I am asking $800 for it. It has tan cloth interior.

Mods:
Topgun 160 chip and 160* thermostat
K&N open cone filter
No Cat

Turbo was rebuilt at 110,000 miles
Oil return line replaced
Replaced coil packs and ignition module
Air conditioning was retrofit to r134a but needs recharging
Rear struts were replaced
Optima red top battery is about 3 years old
Alternator replaced
Fuel pump replaced
Interior is in good shape
All gauges work except for oil pressure, HUD works
Power seats work fine
Sunroof works fine


Issues:

  Still has stock crossover so it is cracked and causes the car to stall sometimes.

ABS pump cycles and light on dash is flashing

Turn signals don?t work due to a problem with the lever

Power antenna doesn?t go down completely

Front brake rotors are badly warped and need to be replaced

The cassette deck is broken but the radio works

Steering wheel radio controls don?t work

Runs well but does use some oil

Front end may need some work; it makes some popping noises sometimes

Will need tires soon

Power mirror on driver?s side won?t move with power in the ?up? direction

Cruise control doesn?t work

I had to remove the front lower valance a few months ago after driving through a big snow finally ripped it in half

Paint has normal fading for its age and clearcoat is coming off the fender flares

There is some minor surface rust in a few spots but no other body damage to speak of.

Whole car needs a good cleaning, inside and out

That?s all I can think of right now. I have tried to represent the car as accurately as possible so there are no disappointments.

I do have some more pictures if you are interested.
