Default Would you buy it? 2002 WS6

Would you buy it?

Mileage: 23,112
Transmission: 4 Speed Automatic
Engine: 5.7 Liter 8 Cylinder
Ext. Color: Pewter
Stock#: NL14480
VIN: 2G2FV22G822117218
19,600 mileage

What scares me is the NOS Bottle. The car is 800 miles away from so I can't really go and check it out. Would do think?

You listed mileage twice, unless the 19g is the price...? If it has NOS then you know it wasnt babied. So that is your own risk as to how well it was taken care of. I'd say you could find a better ride and one that's closer. Stick to starting out stock and build it up your own way.

you have to be careful with cars that have been modded, imo try to find a stock one, so you know what you're getting into

I think, it is a very expensive gamble. I am really suprized the dealer left the bottle in the car. I say look harder I am sure you can find on alot closer and a better of a deal as well.

I'll have to agree with everyone else. IMO, it's more fun to build up a car the way you want it

"I" wouldn't buy it for a few reasons. 1) it's an automatic 2) it's got some fugly wheels on it 3) it's got nitrous, however I can't see the line running to the engine.

Just an off topic side note, the engine bay looks funny. What's up with the main radiator line? Or the little breather under the radiator shroud. And once again I see no nitrous lines.

on the radiator line is the power steering cooler which comes on all WS6's and SS's and some optioned Z28's.

the breather under the shroud is to the A.I.R pump, that would otherwise plug into the airbox
