99 SS or 98 WS6?? I currently own a 99 SS A4, 80k miles (excl cond) but want a m6 bad hehe.... im also interested in leather too. Well I found a 102k mile 98 WS6 m6 for sale guy is askin 12.5k for it (car's not in excl cond, but is good-ish, headlight motor on one side is gone, tires are wasted, mine are new). Question now is, should I keep the 99 SS or go for the 98 WS6, which one will hold its' value in the long run better?
Also, what are the intrinsic values of both cars, I know the KBB prices, but LS1s are pretty damn rare in the Islands. I also can count the number of WS6s i've ever seen down here with both my hands.

I prefer the M6 and the WS6 myself, but in this case I would hold on to your car. You know your car and have no idea what problems the WS6 may have. But headlight motor, tires, etc don't give a great impression, if it's got obvious problems, who knows what kind of gremlins could be hiding under the hood...

None of the above. I would keep shopping for a M6. You all ready have a nice F-body to drive so that's a plus. But you really want a M6 which I can't say I blame you. I also want a M6 and the only reason I don't get one is that I am now addicted to 1/4 mile drag racing at the track. No way I will go to a M6 when stalled autos rule that domain.
But if you keep shopping, I bet you find a nice 98-00 M6 for less then 15K with half the miles the one you have now. I'm not sure how you feel about looks but me personally, I love the Formula/TA/WS6 looks better. Plus the red dash lights looks bad a$$ while driving at night
Enjoy what you have but don't stop looking for an affordable upgrade either. Good luck bro.

Thanks for the input guys, im still thinkin that i'll keep the SS, so long as the Ws6 guy doesn't want to go down in price..way down hehehe...
I'll probably keep on shoppin for a nice m6, but those rarely go on sale in Hawaii, and the ones that do are all the low mileage 01-02's and they're all black. I was talkin to a cop the other day n he said he sold his old SS patrol car for 8.5k with 72k miles on it.
I got the SS for 9.5k, so that was a steal, and I know of a few guys who'd buy it outright for like 13.5k. Prices in Hawaii are so inflated due to the lack of supply and the current increase in demand. LS1s go like hotcakes down here, though I must say that the WS6 has been on sale for over a month... maybe a good reason to stay away.

Yeah I'd keep the SS and continue shopping for an M6. I first had a 2000 mustang GT that was tricked out, but it was the automatic, and I am so glad I bought the M6 SS, more fun to drive and a hell of a lot more power.

Keep your SS....I think you just want something new....when you have the WS6 for a while, you'll probably be like, why did I switch, I liked the SS just as good. They are equally bad *** cars.
