http://houston.craigslist.org/ctd/1506726625.html

kinda like it, minus the steering wheel, and not sure how I feel about the hood at the moment but seems to be a pretty clean car...

Looks good, I have an ebony leather steering wheel from an 01 WS6 I would trade you if it was that big of a deal to you.

You can buy a decent shape TA for 10 and spend 2k on the interior to get it looking like that.. so not worth it

damn, i love that hood, whats the name of it? i just dont like the bird but the rest of the car is clean as hell, but not worth that much at all. the rims are also questionable, do my eyes see it right and they do kind of a whirlpool thing?

the fact that they weren't brought back like the Camaros has people keeping the price up on them......it's just marketing

i kinda like it, except for the steering wheel and the wheels.....definitely looks pretty clean.....but again, not clean enough to pay almost $18k for it. my car was $17.6k 5.5 years ago with less than 12k miles on it. i'd offer them $9k - $10k max on it and walk away without looking back if they scoffed at that price.

That's an interesting trick they pulled with the cracks in the upper door panels, kind of looks like there is some black piping pushed into the cracks maybe??

Why does this always happen? Dealers get a 4th gen F-body and think it's gold and jack the damn price up, regardless if the car is clean or not.. there's a difference between what it's actually worth then what they think it's worth...

But thanks for the input, now I won't waste my time or gas making a drive to deal with asshats

I don't really care for tan interior... but I'd rock that. I don't like the steering wheel, the wheels, and the price. Other than that... I'd drive the heck out of it!

Sounds like you should pass then. I think the seats are disgusting and make me want to vomit, but I do like the wheels.
