What is it Worth? - Should I buy the ws6?

I found another car I'm interested in, but not sure if it's worth it. What do you think?

Car still has stock clutch!!

2000 6spd Trans am Ws6, original owner, white with the black stripes, new tires, leather with engraved Pontiac and bird emblem, 146,500 miles, small tear in leather, paint has small chips from highway driving, but overall very good. The decal stripe that goes over the top is slightly peeling due to heat and being original. Car is completely stock except for flowmaster exhaust...I can't believe it's all stock. Everything works except the stock radio. Plays cd's but the display is screwed up. I would need another one. Both lights also make a grinding noise when being closed. I'll need two headlight gears.

He is asking $7200 obo. If I got him down to $6500 should I go for it, or pass because of the miles? I won't be driving it much, it will be a second car for the occasional weekend.

Thanks in advance!

This isn't looking good, lol. Bad buy?

Tough call. That's not too bad to have a real 6 speed WS6. I was thinking around $5500-$6500. How long have you been looking around?

For a while. It just seems like the mileage gets higher and people who have under 100,000 ask 12,000. It's a big price difference.

just think if you mod it , rear end could go , clutch , trans synchros , any number of nickel and dime things. Id feel better at 5500-6000

I agree. Should I just offer 5500, but take 6000?

if its a overall good car 6 isnt bad, you will always be able to get your money back out of it, honest if you plan to mod etc, the best thing you can buy is a roller, i really wish i would have just bought a roller, i have seen a few of them with rearends and complete suspension ,perfect paint,int go for under 4 grand, put a good motor ,trans in there and you have a badass car done pretty cheap depending on what you go with motor wise, is this a car you plan to mod/race/etc?dont let miles scare you, yes alot of these cars have lived very hard lives, but if it has been taken care of i wouldnt be scared of it,

Here is an update. I got him down to $6000...

I'll try and show a picture.

Honestly, the WS6 is overrated... it you just want it to have a "real ws6" then thats all you man... I got mine for 4800 with 142k on the clock 2 years ago... It no longer has the Hood, rims or suspension that make it a WS6 anymore so what was the point.. haha. Id say you can do better but some areas just charge more than in others.... bring him $5500, I bet he takes it....

Also remember, you do NOT know how well it was taken care of... dont believe a word he says, ask to see his ID and see if it matches the title... assume the car has had the piss beat out of it because it most likely has.... At that mileage, things start to go... steering rack, alternator, waterpump, tranny and rear (especially with a 6speed).. they are all worn pretty good Im sure...

What is the oil pressure at warm idle? Does he have any receipts for maintenance? Look at his driveway, does it have oil spots? Be cautious, these cars to fetch a pretty penny when theyre truly babied and in perfect working order, problem is, MOST HAVE HAD THE SHIT BEAT OUT OF THEM...

Good luck bro...

I did most of these things. No oil spots, motor has not even been cleaned. He definitely waxes the outside and i checked that he is the original owner. The car still has the stock shifter in it and nothing is aftermarket. It just doesn't seem like it could have been beaten on. It doesn't even rattle while you're driving it. I also made tight u-turns to check for any noises and nothing. No stains on the carpet either.

The guy is married and in the military, He's getting rid of the car because he's moving to Alaska. He doesn't want to get rid of it, but said he spoke with his dad and it's more logical to sell it. If he's lieing, this is one hell of a story.

I also saw coast guard stuff all in his garage and license plate. Doesn't seem like a liar, but who knows.

Here is the car.

looks clean and well kept just look everything over since its a 2000.

I agree. I think i should take it to a shop. Especially since the check engine light is on. The car has exhaust and i think it may be an 02 sensor? But still, maybe i should get it checked.

Hard to say, they sell differently in different areas. I sold my Red 01 WS6 M6 mostly stock with a few suspension mods and 88k miles for $7,000 about a year ago. It looks nice though, good luck!

its a good looking car... try 5500, but it looks like its worth it.. get it on a lift just to be certain.. carfax wouldnt hurt but they arent always accurate....

I agree. I think i should take it to a shop. Especially since the check engine light is on. The car has exhaust and i think it may be an 02 sensor? But still, maybe i should get it checked.

just make sure its an o2 sensor, also use it to your advantage to bring the price down because i wouldn't pay over 7k for an 00. I payed 7900 for my 02 with 98k. Over all the car looks very clean though. Pictures can be deceiving though, lol i learned this the hard way twice before i came across my car. ALSO when he turns the car on stand behind it to see if it smokes i read about 98-00 having shitty oil pumps and they usually lead to the bottom ends going. The 2 previous F-bodys i saw before the car i own now both smoked on start up they were both 98-00's. Good luck.

It always makes me cringe how much used LS1 (especially the WS6 cars) cars normally go for. I bought my '95 when it was 12 years old with 67k miles on it for $5800. That is a decent price for the car you're looking at, but if you're looking to mod it, Id just start with a base trans am or formula. The WS6 package is mostly an expensive cosmetic gimmick IMO

So, check for white smoke on startup?

I revved the car up while I was there and a white smoke came out shortly after start up. ( not while i started, but when i revved high ) After I drove it and did it again nothing came out though...I assumed it was because the car was sitting? Maybe not?

This will be a second car just sitting in the garage. I'm going to touch it up and make it look good. I just like having the real ws6, or real SS. I like the way they look and I found myself always wanting an SS when I had a Z28 and I wanted a Ws6 when I had a formula. It just looks better with the different front end, hood, side skirts, spoiler, etc.

So much hate for the ws6 lol. I bought my totally stock, perfect condition, no mods, 70,000 miles, 2000 ws6 for $8,500 this August. I think I just got lucky though. To ease your mind I know kids who have 130,000 on their ws6's who drive the snot out of them with big cams and nitrous and their cars are still running with nothing major ever going out. I think the car you're looking at SEEMS solid, just drive it first.

PASS. Too much mileage and an SES light plus ???? No thanks. Look around and don't settle. Even for a weekend car you don't aggravation or a 'money pit'.

I'm starting to agree, but it drove really good...I just know the car wasnt beaten on because it has the stock clutch. No way that thing could last 140,000 miles without the clutch going out being beat on.

The check engine light bothers me, but honestly every Fbody I've owned had a check engine light and no problems, lol.

I guess what really attracted me to this car is that it has the stock clutch, no headers, or intake and paint looked good.

IMO... If you're in no hurry wait and invest some time and find yourself a lower mile WS6. Even though it's just a WS6 it's safe to say it's just cosmetics with standard 17's wheels compared to the base Trans Am or Formula. Is there a big difference in performance stock wise? not really. And since this will be your fair weather 2nd car might as well find a WS6 that's been cared for unless your plans are to mod it.

Don't listen to the WS6 haters who'll some would wish they also had a WS6 or SS car. It's your desire and your money! Heck life is short so get what you want in life so long as you ain't hurting nobody to get there! :nod::usa:

6k? sounds decent to me. One owner car guys. Not some kid beating on it for a year after he bought it and trying to get out from under. Ditch all the graphics IMO. Original Clutch? Shows how he drove it. Autozone/local auto store will be able to run the engine code for you for free. google/ search the forum for that code and youll have an idea what it is. Dont listen to the guy at the parts store. ;-) My last bird had 124k+ and the one before that had almost 150k and ran fine. Of course its going to need things, its a 13 year old car. I just had to replace the clutch hydraulics in my 2000 Hawk and she only has 16k on her! Where are you BTW?

I just want a WS6 because I've never had one.

On the other hand, I don't think it's worth getting one with 50-70k and paying 12,000 for it...I'd rather put that money towards a zo6. $6500 is pretty much the max I'm willing to pay for a 11-14 year old car. A 70k mile Ls1 beat to hell is no different than a 140,000 ls1 taken care of. It just seems like you pay 4000-6000 more because of miles. One starts to think if that's even worth it, because even if your high mileage ls1 broke, it would be cheaper to rebuild and make it better/faster than stock. Assuming it breaks, you could use that money for a heads/cam swap. Or just put an ls7 in it.

See what I mean?

Tampa Florida.

Tell me about it...I couldn't believe it was the original clutch and shift knob. Everything is stock. (Except flowmaster)

Something must be on its way to break though. It's weird to me that nothing has gone wrong. His wife was there when I saw it and said she makes fun of him because of how slow he drives it, lol. I believe it because of the clutch, but she could be lieing of course. I was expecting an oil leak in the garage, but definitely didn't see that either.

Depends if you have only 6500 to spend and want a ws6 m6 get it, seems like a decent car. (one owner, garage kept, FL car) Id pay 6500 for it and just save on the side for a nice lq9 build. That's just me. I came across my car by mistake lol. Im in South Florida btw, its REALLY rare to see clean f-body down here, let alone being m6.

I could spend spend 10,000, but I don't see the value.

I got him down to $6000, not $6500.

I agree about it being rare seeing a clean Fbody...

Its up to you now. Thats a good price, only thing that sucks is the smoking issue.

Damn, your a week late. I was just down there i would have taken a peek at it with you. You should see what people are asking and seriously think they will get for their rides up here. And most i have looked at are beat up, leaky filthy messes. Then again you can eat off the bottom of my car. ;-) good luck with your decision. If i was looking for a beater summer weekend driver for cheap that would be it. Check to make sure she isnt overheating, run the codes for the Check engine, make sure nothing is leaking terribly and when you get it dont mod the hell out of it. Just drive it and enjoy it. We are always here if you run into problems. And dont go calling the guy 20 times and look at it like 4 more. Go get it or leave the poor bastard alone. :D

I kinda see your point however I fail to see mentioning of putting that $6k towards a z06 when in the end you'll be dropping more money into upkeeping a high mileage WS6 car or not. Now a zo6 will be worth more of your money in the long run. With that said forget the WS6, you're better off buying a standard Trans Am and put a LS7, and a aftermarket hood! At the end of the day you'll still be throwing more money at it just to keep that newfound LS7 or h/c horsepower from destroying the rest of your 140k drivetrain.

This would be a good point under the assumption another LS1 with 50k for 12,000 had zero problems while being modded. Although, plenty of people have had major problems modding cars with 50k. It's still old however you look at it and things break. Just because a car has high miles and the other low miles doesn't mean the lower mileage motor is in better condition. It could have been beaten on while the other was highway mileage. Therefore, you could potentially spend over 10,000 on a lower mileage LS1 and have it break within the same time or less. Seeing a car with a stock clutch generally shows it wasnt murdered on. In the end, I believe it depends on the upkeep of the car which is hard to tell UNLESS the car has a stock clutch, never been modded, etc. I would choose a stock ls1 with 140,000 miles with a stock clutch over a 50k mile ls1 on its second clutch that has full bolt ons and nitto 555's. That tells me they were rough 50k miles.

Essentially, this means either buy the ws6 and keep it stock and drive it for fun. Or, dont buy an fbody and use it toward a zo6. Thats what im getting out of this.

UPDATE

I got all of the information on what was replaced about 15mins ago. What do you think?

This was all done January 27 of 2011 and he got the car back in February. He still has the receipt that shows all of this.

4 new Goodyear tires ($927) Power steering and lines replaced, replaced broken Pcv pipe, spark plugs and wires maintenance, replaced steering gear and outer tie rod ends, replaced water pump, repaired wiring harness, fuel injector service and throttle body service. Cleared ses light and everything running normal.

Total on receipt for all of this maintenance was $5,598.

thats not sa bad price at all. 6000$ is fair if everything is said as is.
i own a ultra clean 99 black m6 with low miles, garage kept, all stock. i restored it back to stock. its not even a ws6. and i would not sell it for 6000$
im asking more. it will stay garaged if dont get what im asking.:D
but mine has way less miles, everything operates correct. has newer motor with even less miles than the body.
im surprised the owner is letting go for so low a price. car looks to be in very good condition.
i would buy it. if was me. good luck

It's definitely a nice piece of mind that these things were taken care of, but 145,000 miles is a lot. Although, $5500 in maintenance is also a lot, lol.

my 00 ws6 has 230k miles on stock motor. stock longblock. i put in used set of pp duals, tsp pushrods. fast intake, ftp lid, maf,ftra new plugs,wires, tune.
i also installed new ff. car had spec clutch on it. didnt drip or leak anything. i found receipts where previous owner got service at walmart,jiffy lube and kwik kar.:engarde:
car runs strong as fack, even with all those miles. i got car in december. it was completely stock when i got it. previous owner didnt abuse it much. just drove that mofo everywhere.
all cylinders were strong. did cranking compression and leak down test.
ive put maybe 6k miles on it since.
dont be fooled by high miles. if the car was well taken care of. it will show.
perhaps have car tested. if feel uncomfortable about high miles,
i guarantee that a zo6 will be just as abused or high miles if was owned by an enthusiast. i prefer buying completely stock as possible cars.
motors are easy to replace in these cars. and so many options. ive personally have never cared for the hi miles. since every fbody ive owned eventually gets new motors or parts.
i keep the low mile ta stored since i know many folks prefer to purchase low mile reliable, good to go, good as new cars. and thats what car is.
if something happens to my ws6. i will just fix it.
even my ss is on its 3rd motor, now.:judge:

you buy this thing yet? :-)

you buy this thing yet? :-)

Lol, nope. Saw it again today for the second time. Cool guy, we get along pretty well.

We drove to advanced auto and got the check engine light run. It said replace catalytic converter. I looked under the car and didn't see one. He has a y-pipe going into a single pipe, then splits into a flowmaster muffler. I assume that's normal for the light to be on.

Clutch engaged around the middle and I chirped second gear with him in the car. I let the car sit for 10mins, revved it and a little smoke came out. Then, I drove to advanced and as soon as we got back I had him rev it to 4500 and no smoke at all? Not sure what's going on with that.

the smoke is from valve seals most likely... He didnt know the cat was gone?

the smoke is from valve seals most likely... He didnt know the cat was gone?

Dude, he didn't know what a catalytic converter was. He said he got exhaust when he first got it and went to a shop and they said that setup would make it sound good. They also suggested 3inch tips which is why he has that...

If it's from the valve seals shouldn't it always smoke? If not, I just won't buy it. I had a 91 camaro in high school with bad valve seals and it started smoking so much when it started. I made clouds, lol.

I took these today.

The maintenance price may seem high because he put off getting it done and now he did it all at once to sell it. If you drive a car it will eventually need some parts replaced. I think that's a fair price and the car looks beautiful from the pictures.

So, I went against it...

After hearing the negative feedback I think I would have a hard time selling it. Someone would probably offer me 4500 when it got to 150,000. It just doesn't seem worth it because a larger margin of people think it's too many miles, although they were highway. I know people would stay away.

I want it, but suppose this is the better way to think.

so are you looking for a car to keep and enjoy? or something you think you can make a profit on and sell later on?
sadly these cars will just diminish in value over time. unless 20-30 yrs. from now they become like the 1st gens.
ive always looked for fbodys that need work.
so i can repair and build em myself. these cars are easy to work on and make fast. and parts are relatively easy to come by. if you just want a fun cruiser, that is low miles, retains value and has no issues then prolly need look into a base corvette with low miles and almost no mods, but prolly wont be nothing under 15k$.
all the z06 and even frc ive found and thought about buying had many miles and or issues and have been beat on. the driveline parts for corvettes are significantly higher priced and more difficult to work on without a lift.
the vettes do seem to retain a lil better value. but ive found out that its not as easy to work on them as an fbody. my uncle owns a 98c5. i built engine for, hotparts and turbo exhaust system,cold side. intank fuel pump, clutch install,etc. he paid for the parts. i did all the labor. without a lift.:bomb:

I have two interests, and either would work.

My main goal is to buy something I can drive maybe once every two weeks for fun, or taking my gf out. No running it hard, just fixing things here and there to make it nicer then when I bought it. I assumed if I ever sold it I would at least get my money back doing this.

My second idea would be to buy a car that is already fast and take to the track every now and then and improve the body condition.

Nice car, but I think its price a little high for the milage

Nice car, but I think its price a little high for the milage

I agree, but Kelly blue book said the WS6 was worth $7200 in "good condion".

I underlined the above in your quote now that I see where you are coming from. BIG MISTAKE!! If you spend anything over $5,000 for that 150,000 miles car, you will most likely never see a dime back on anything you put into it. Please, for your own sake, read the numerous posts in this section about getting 'mod' money back or 'repair money' back. It doesn't happen or rarely does.. This has been a common theme for years and years now since the market tanked in '08. Very few are getting any money back that they put into their F-bodies. It's OK to lose money on a car you buy, everyone does, but limit the hit that you will take at selling time. Price guides are wonderful tools but they never factor in 'future' repairs or needs in their pricing.

I agree and I decided against the car yesterday. Thanks for the help.

It was hard not buying it, lol. I wanted a manual ws6 and since the guy had a receipt for $5598 in vehicle repairs from last year I thought it would have been a solid choice.

You are more than welcome. :thumb: You will find a nice ride without the headaches. That repair bill you mentioned sure makes my point :eek2:
Best of luck with your search!
