Default What color's did the WS6 come in?

Hey guy's, I saw a 98-02 WS6 for sale at a lot & was wondering if it has the orginal color. It looked like a deep purple or something similar. Was that one of the color option's???

I would guess you're talking about Navy Blue Metallic which looks purple in the right light. It might also be Bright Purple Metallic which is really rare.

It's not navy blue metallic. It looks more like a bright deep purple in the light & very dark in the night.

Is it the same color as my car???

Find out the year on the car. If it's a 98 it could be bright purple metallic and yeah, that's extremely rare. You'll need to check the paint code on the door sticker to be sure about it....not sure where to find it tho. Hopefully someone can tell you which code to look at.

Found the link on autotrader. Here it is, let me know what you guys think about it. The dealer said it was traded in by a navy guy. I drive by this lot every day & they always have real clean cars.

If it looks as good in person as it does in the pics and is mechanically sound....GET IT!!!
I'd be all over it if I could afford another car.

Btw, If the paint code is the same as the camaros, it should be an 88...

Oh and for the mileage and it being an A4, see if they'll negotiate the price. they may not know how rare that color is on those cars.

For one it is not a WS6. Second I'm really not sure of what options where available. But that looks like it was a formula and then someone put the T/A nose and rear bumper on it but left off the side skirts. I don't that was an option but someone will hopefully chime in and let you know for sure or ready the stickies, there might be some info in there. But one thing is for sure that is not a WS6 hood.

Even if it's not the factory hood, couldn't you get a WS6 formula??
Sorry, I know more about Camaro's than birds..

Your right to.I dont like the hood, the scoops are to far back it looks odd. The price is a little high even for that color

I'll have to go look at it in person. I saw it yesterday when I drove by & it looked really clean & I thought it was a WS6 but he said it is a Formula Firebird. I don't know crap about these car's & that's why I am asking on here.

Formula's look like Firebird but have a V8. Some formula's did come with WS6 package.

From what I know Formula = bare bones V8. I'm actually suprised that it's an auto. Most Formulas I've seen are manuals.
If it's a clean car, in good shape and what you want, make an offer, don't just settle for their listed price.

Mine's an auto

Formulas could be had with RPO WS6 as well, up through the 2000 model year.

The car is obviously not a Trans Am since it has cloth seats and leather seats were standard on LS1 Trans Ams. I would keep looking. I hate that Formula/Trans Am/forgot side skirts/aftermarket hood mix and match crap...not trying to be harsh...just my opinion...

I'm really not ready to buy at this moment unless I came across a very good deal so I'm going to pass on it. Plus I really want a Pewter WS6 or any nice looking WS6 as long as it is a good deal. Thanks for all your input guys!!!
