I just bought another Trans Am like my black one the other day kind of on a whim. I saw it posted on Craigslist for $4000, then he lowered it to $3000 and I talked him down to $2800 and scooped it up. Its a 98' completely stock with 134k miles minus the Flowmaster exhaust:barf:(It sounds good tho?) And the Hoosier Drag Radials and rakes on it.(Huge ass tires) It says they are 11.5". I'm not sure how much the rims and tires are worth but I'd prefer to sell them and get some nice looking ones or save them for the track. The interior is very nice but the exterior needs a little work with some body panels not lining up and having 2 black doors on a white car looks kinda hillbilly(It came with the original white doors but the fiberglass is separating at the edge... fixable?) The hood and fender seem to match up a little finny but you can tell it wasn't in any accidents( he said he removed the front fascia and fenders for something tho and it never matched after that. Does it look like I got a pretty good deal? I got it for 100 dollars less then my first one.. http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/new-ls1-owners-newbie-tech/916067-just-became-new-ls-owner-help.html

Which you can see above. $2900. What do you guys think? Worth it? And what are the wheels/tires worth?

Nice bro. Now you have a tough decision everyday... Hmmmmm, this one or this one... lol.

Not sure the price of the wheels, but I'd say you got a decent deal.

Those are some truck wheels lol...I'd say worth around $300 to the right person? Maybe 400 with the slicks?

Haha yes aftermarket speakers that sound pretty nice :). And yes the tires are effin huge.. and it has nice skinny ones on the front too! I'd prefer to sell them all as a set but I might just keep the rears to take to the track? Or are they too big and would slow me down?

That thing is a piece of shit. But in the right hands could turn into a nice weekend warrior or drag racer. Good deal though.

That car has seen beatings from the ugly stick, but some TLC with the money you saved, easily fixed. Good deal. I would have jumped on it for 2800, easy.

you bought a panda. lol you need to change your screen name now.

Good price and looks decent for 2800- I would have done the same thing. Find some stock 16 inchers in chrome if you are on a budget- they look ok and are cheap.

Some black rims with a polished lip would look good on it.
