Corner Store Forums Rules - PLEASE READ this and the stickies!

UPDATED: Changes have been made, effective 1 Nov 2010, and are in RED

The general WTB forum has been REINSTATED and REOPENED!


Rules for the Corner Store forums:
  • No E-bay links - if you want to sell something here, sell it. This is not an auction house.
  • No feeler threads - again, if you want to sell something, sell it.
  • No soliciting sales through the PM system. If you are caught doing this, you will be dealt with accordingly.
  • If you are selling something, include either a fixed price or the lowest acceptable price.
  • Please use a descriptive thread title. If you post in the For Sale forum, please add a FS: tag to whatever it is you're selling.
  • Please add state tags in all thread titles in the CS, No one is excluded from this.
  • Post in the CORRECT forum. Miscellaneous items belong in that forum. The For Sale forum is strictly for Probe/MX-6/MX-3/626 related items.
  • If you have multiple items for sale, list them in ONE thread!
  • Only Authorized PT Vendors may post new threads in the Vendor For Sale forum. This is to facilitate easily finding the Vendors sale threads.
  • Any parts sellers must now include a picture of the parts they are selling, along with something showing their screen name and ProbeTalk.com alongside the item they're selling
  • Anyone who takes an unreasonable amount of time to deliver goods or pay for those goods will be UNCONDITIONALLY BANNED PERMANENTLY.
  • The ONLY way to reverse this is to make good on your commitment and then both seller and buyer contact me to lift the ban.
  • Anyone banned and reinstated for failing to deliver/pay for goods will not be allowed back into the Corner Store.
  • "Reasonable time" means not more than 15 days after a deal has been reached, unless the parties involved have made prior arrangements.
  • The minimum number of posts required to view the Corner Store is 15.
  • Lastly, no *bump* posts. This is frowned upon and we look at it in the same light as 'free post'. DO NOT DO IT!

These rules were not meant to be all-inclusive, however with the amount of time spent trying to work them out, these are the best set of rules that we felt should be documented and made readily available for the members and to provide a point of reference for the staff in case they are approached with any questions.

The rules for the Corner Store are always up for review and revision as necessary.

To clarify a few things regarding advertising: when the board was first created, we did not seek sponsorships of any kind. As the board grew, it became necessary to seek out and secure sponsors for the site in order to help growth of the site and to maintain/upgrade the server on which it sat. Any additional funds were used to acquire site items that were made available for sale and to help provide funding for meets the site would help sponsor or sponsor entirely.

We have done our best to remain outside of the vendor/customer relationship. We have never tried to push any sort of vendor or product to our membership, as it has often been alluded to in the past, we have taken this stance so that we would not be perceived as 'playing favorites. We think it has worked well and our members have been able to speak their minds freely, however as with most sites, there have been some members who have taken this to the extreme and felt that they were entitled to do so.

As a result, this means that we will continue to implement a policy on non-sponsor advertisements and general spam. We will not hinder discussion of competing websites or their products as long as it is relevant to the discussion at hand, however general spamming or promotion of competing sites or of non-sponsored vendors or products cannot be allowed. To allow this would do a disservice to the vendors/sponsors who have given their time and resources to help make this site available to everyone.

An example of a relevant discussion would be regarding throttle bodies, intake manifolds, or suspension items. Yes, it would be okay to mention who manufactured the item and what the benefits of the product would be vs. another manufacturer's product. It would NOT be okay to mention where to purchase them if they are NOT an Authorized PT Vendor or site sponsor.

Another example would be using the private messaging system to circumvent the advertising rules. A last example are signature links. Only Authorized PT Vendors are allowed to have links to their website or to any other Vendor site. There are NO exceptions. Any violator may or may not be warned if they are in violation.

A final example would be lurking through the For Sale forum for potential customers if you are someone who is operating a salvage business. By salvage business, we mean that you are a person or agent of a company who deals in the salvage parts trade. This could mean someone who frequents the local salvage yards, picks up whatever parts are available, then comes onto the board looking to sell them. This is a means of using a free service to promote your business and that is considered unauthorized advertising.

We ask for your understanding in our need to take these steps for the betterment of our community. These changes should not affect most of the membership, except in a good way. If you've had a good experience with a sponsor, by all means, let others know; if your experience wasn't so good, we ask that you let others know of this as well. This is what the feedback system is for and we encourage everyone to use it.

Our operating procedures will always be independent of any vendor or product and we will always listen to suggestions that any member might have.

  • OR: 1995 KLZE Probe GT - $1000 OBO

    Hey all,

    Time to part ways with my Probe. It has been sitting in the driveway for about 6 months now. 207k on the body, 150ish on the motor and transmission. This little dude survived two cross country trips in the last 10 years with no issues, a real champ.

    This was originally an automatic, I swapped the motor and transmission 10 years ago and I have been driving this car for 10 years with very few issues. Quite reliable and decent fuel consumption and power. Air conditioning blows cold in summer.

    Price is $1000 or best offer. I need this to leave my driveway, it has been taking up space for a few months now and it has to go.

    New front tires less than 500 miles, rear tires 75%
    New battery
    New distributor
    Timing belt and water pump replaced in the last 20k miles, 2013


    Minor issues:
    Paint is less than stellar, never bothered me too much though

    All speakers removed - I had a 6 channel amp in this car and it has also been removed. The pioneer head unit goes with the vehicle, pop in some new speakers and it is good to go.

    Downshifting to third gear is a little screwy but still works, transmission synchronizers are wearing.

    Fuel pump baffles have broken off inside the fuel tank. When tank is below 1/8 full, sometimes going around a corner the car will try to stall. Keep it over 1/8 tank and you have no issue.

    Needs tags/registration. Expired 1/17. No plates.

      It's also listed on craigslist, so make your offer. I'm already getting texts from CL. Rather see it go to someone on here than some Portland junkie who's just going to wreck it. I don't particularly need the money or anything, just need it to leave my house. That being said, I'm not inclined to give it away either.

        I saw it on craigslist.

        You will get a lot of texts from people on there, but good luck getting anyone to show up lol. I do this for a living and craigslist is the worst when it comes to flakes.

        I hear ya on not giving it away, but at the same time I don't have $1000 to spend on another probe right now. I have 1 in my shop and 2 in my driveway lol.

        I don't want to offend you with a low ball offer the same day you posted.

            I keep the new battery and $500 takes it away. I'm starting house renovations next weekend and I need my driveway back. Will be donated to a charity if no one takes it, Craigslist is a damn nightmare!

              If I had a ride down there this weekend I would buy it easily. Just with the weather right now it'd be hard for me to get down there with a ride for me to drive it back, or a trailer.

              Well I take that back, I'm working on a trailer possibly.
              I'll send ya a pm

                  I was ready to buy it this last saturday, but his coworkers kids car was stolen and they were coming to look at it, and he never got back to me. So I'd assume it was sold. I was just waiting to hear back before I drove down to get it.
