    Wont start - When it was running had misfire cyl 1 new wires and plugs and coil pack. Did not help misfire. Took to a mechanic and said low compression and told me it needs new motor. 209,000 so yeah. Can't afford the fix and want it gone. The inside is very clean. Outside rust bad on rocker panels. And hood looks like previous owner did a quick paint job and now it's flaking. Originally from Minnesota. Parts car or mechanics special.
    Old pic- will get recent pics if interested.

    Not sure what to do with this- still in driveway
    Posted this almost 2 yrs ago
    Can’t part it out in my driveway (rental property)
    No local junkyard
    Don’t want it to go to scrap recycle center
    Interior is clean and complete
    Still starts if jumped battery won’t hold charge
    Hoping for an offer- more than scrap

    Scrap yard is the only place this thing is headed man. Sorry to tell ya. You probably couldn't even give it away. Nobody is interested in a 3.1 Grand Prix... I mean nobody. It's almost impossible to sell a running GTP, or otherwise modded Grand Prix. Let alone a broke down 3.1.

    Just keeping it real. Save yourself the time and headache and scrap the ol' girl.

    Now, if the interior is as clean as you say... you could take out the radio, HVAC, door panels, door switches, dash, etc and sell on Ebay. You could take that stuff off without attracting too much attention. There is a market for random pieces that are in good shape. You could make some many back, along with what the yard gives ya.

    yea sad to say but hes right 2 turbod gtps by my house on craigslist have been up for as long as I remember over a year or 2 and both are immaculate from the pics and seem to be running flawless with around 100k miles and only up for about $4k. but yea parting out the interior and scraping the rest is some great advice scrapyard by me gives around $200 for the car wheather you bring it to them or they have to tow it (price dosent change) and most the interior bits can be taken apart without anybody even noticing. shoot ive taken apart most that stuff you listed on my way home from work or school and not one person gave a crap or even noticed for all I know haha think I seen a guy on here looking for some clean door switches about a month ago in the wanting to buy section. would be a place to start
