Default Bought a WS6 and backed out

Whats up guys i had just bought a 02 ws6... acutally just driving it home and we were going to finish the paperwork on it. Found when i drove it home and put it on my lift at home that it had some crap cats on it like universial ones or something with the worst weld job i have ever seen and when i took it off the lift it wouldnt go into reverse or it would keep popping out of gear. Decided to take it back but found a 01 ss camaro with 30k miles on it.

Don't feel bad, I found out mine had been wrecked about a month after I bought it. Carfax showed a clean file too. Guess they fixed it without reporting it. Oh well, I am very happy with mine and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

same thing happened to a buddy of mine and his WS6. he reached a settlement with carfax and kept the car, and they wrote him a $4500 check.
