    Greetings, folks! I'm from northwest Indiana and currently have a 99 gtp coupe and an 02 gtp coupe, both of which are for sale.

    Did you solely join the forum to try to sell your cars?

    Yup, but since there's some set of circumstances that either no one knows or no one is willing to tell, it appears they're not going to be advertised here. It's too bad they don't have a better way to filter spammers because I'm sure some of the folks here could use some of the parts on these instead of them getting scrapped...

    It would have benefited you to be an active member of the forum while you had the cars. This forum is built to be a community, not a classified section for just anyone to use.

    Good luck on Craigslist and eBay.

    I wasn't into the cars on that level really. I got them to combine into one and drive. Then I ended up spending 10 months in the hospital and my priorities changed drastically. Either way, it's the members that end up getting hosed because now they're more likely to get scrapped instead of supplying parts to those that actually care about them. I have had other cars that have followings, and I'll tell you that no matter how much or how little they are into their cars, it's still the same car. How many cars have you seen crushed that went for $150 to the previous owner when they have hundreds to thousands of dollars worth of parts in them?

    Alright, you have peaked my interest. How do you have hundreds of thousands in parts in 2 w-bodies?

    *piqued*. And I said "hundreds TO thousands" and I'm not talking about my cars specifically. But they both have good transmissions, ground effects, tires and wheels, good leather interior with heated seats on one. Good dash components with hud on both. Sheet metal, etc. Think anyone here might want some of that stuff instead of it getting scrapped? Plus, non enthusiasts don't always value things the same. No reason to cut your nose off to spite your face...

    Stick around for a while and the classified section will unlock for you eventually. Stock parts are a hard sell as most people want aftermarket around here for dirt cheap. Transmissions and whole engines are a hard sell due to shipping. The ground effects, superchargers, and wheels and tires and HUD might move quickly though.
