Default Just got 02 SS

Well it finally came I found the one! There was a beatiful SS at this dealership, I just went to look at it and never thought that I wouldn be taking it home, i traded my 04 Mustang GT for it, I will never look back again. Everthing is 100 percent perfect with the car it has 46000 miles, the interior is beatiful and the exterior has no hardcore scratches, it was supposed to from a 68 year old retired veteran, i can tell becuase when ever i get in it, it just smell like and old man, i am so happy. the way it was taking care of and not a single mod on it i know that it wasn't ripped in. but the clutch feels a little wierder then my mustang and my buddys 00 ws6. i dont know if its normal but it dont want to engage until like the end of letting the peddle out i will get pictures tommorow

Congrats! The Z06 clutch does tend to grab a bit high. I wouldn't worry about it unless it is slipping.

I love it when they say this car was owned by an old person.... whats that supposed to mean even if it was true. I know some old farts that love to rip on cars.

Congrats!

Heh...yeah you can't believe most car salesmen at all...I had spoken to the guy who had bought my old TA and the new owner of my car claims that the salesman who sold him the car said an old guy had traded it in on a C5 and racked up milage because of business trips...LOL!!

I told him that I am 33yrs old I never used the TA for business,just weekend getaways all over Texas and I certainly don't have a C5 vette in my driveway...

Just goes to show you...when checking out a car,block out the sales guy...they are the same as an annoying fly buzzing in your ear...Most of them anyways....

Congrats on the new ride!!!!!!!
