Should I buy 98 SGM Trans Am Well I sold my WS6 a few weeks ago because the payment was to big for my Air force paycheck I thought I was gonna get an old firebird but im being drawn back to the LS1.
I dont want to spend over 6k and would prefer A4 after dealing with all the issues of the M6.
Anyways I found a 1998 Sport Gold Metallic Trans Am for 5,500. It looks really clean, has new tires, automatic, 111K.
Sound like a good deal? Im really looking for a Artic white TA with Tan interior though think I should wait?

SGM is pretty awesome color. You probably wont see another one on the road unless you go to a meet.
However, dont settle on the color. If you want white with tan, then wait for it. Im paying for that mistake with my Formula.

Trust me on this one buddy, you would rather deal with M6 ISSUES than A4 Issues!!! LMAO. A4's go out about every 2 years it seems for me. I have 3 Fbodies. My M6 has almost 800 hp and I have had NO Major problems with it, except replacing the clutch. My A4 is 1700 for the Tranny and 725 for the stall. Everytime the tranny goes out. DONT GET AN A4, YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!

What's DD insurance?
And do you live in dorms or off base making BAH? Because if you can get off base you can definitely make bank via BAH if you live with roommates.

DD insurance is Daily driver LOL.
Anyways I think I found my car its a 1998 NBM Trans Am has OEM WS6 hood, Vette Zr1s, SLP LM1, SLP Lid, TB spacer which I dont even know if it does anything, and a "super sucker" as he called it its a plastic air duct that runs to the underneath of the car. It only has 77K with 64K on engine and trans only flaws are two small paint spots. Also has a banging stereo two kenwood 12's with nice amp and deck.
His lowest price is 7500 good deal? BTW A4

I wasn't sure about gold either when i first got mine but i got to tell you when the sun hits it right after you have detailed it it is one of the best looking colors GM did. And if the ta is a Ws6 that runs that number down to 60 give or take a few.

m6 for the win lol i like the sgm its also rare as hell i have only seen them on the internet but if its not what you want wait for what you want and also just my opionion if your last car was m6 and you go to a4 you might get a little bored with it and a4s have waaay more problems then m6's unless you cant drive for **** and fry your clutch once a month lol
