Not sure, I'm in Michigan, it is in Wisconsin. I may check it out this weekend.

2000 T/A - $14,995 with 57,500 miles. I've been looking everywhere and have talked to a couple sellers. Have had little luck with silver or red 99-01 M6s under 15k. They would need to drop the price at least 2 grand...

yeah that slot where we all put our garage door openers, the thing that you were asking about being a satelite radio, is where the convertible controls go if you got a vertible. If not, it makes an excellent spot for the garage door opener like biggcmas said.

The previous owner might have just changed tips, and nothing else, looks pretty stock otherwise

eh... Like most pre-owned fbodies...

It was returned to as close to stock as the owner could get it before they sold it...
(thats why in the classified section you find people selling mods for cash plus the stock part )

And those 57,000 miles were put on that F-body the same way they are put on EVERY F-body that is not a collectors item...1/4 mile at a time...

If you start with THAT mentallity, then you will not be disappointed with what you get...

Agreed! People should be getting these cars to fulfill their destinies... getting beat up in search of that last tenth or MPH, or hitting the apex on that hairpin, or cruising thousands of miles to see the world. If you got yourself a pristine used F-body, well, lucky for you, but unlucky for the car because it never got to really be DRIVEN.

I say why have it if you aren't going to use it?

Southern cars are generally preferable to northern cars for the obvious reasons, so that is why they are touting it's Florida back ground.

Just watch out for evidence of water damage in hidden places where they might not have been erased like the more visible areas. Florida gets hurricanes...

i looks like an aftermarket cat-back, but it doesnt even look like he put a short-shifter in, so its most likely the only mod

Advertising cars as being "from Florida" is a marketing angle. They're suggesting the car has never seen snow (thus salt) which is major if you're used to seeing rusted out used cars in the midwest. I remember seeing a used car dealership called "Just Florida Cars" when I lived in Wisconsin and they always pushed the zero rust thing hard. I don't think it necessarily means much in this case. Many people in the midwest who own a car like this avoid taking it out during the winter anyway.

I for one don't consider a car with a cat back only to be "modified"... but I also agree it would be pretty easy to swap in the stock stuff before trading in the car. Check it out closely and proceed if it everything points to it being responsibly maintained and driven. There's a big difference between enjoying a car's capabilities every now and then with a dose of wisdom versus beating the daylights out of it and being plain stupid. On a car with more than 50,000 miles on it you should be able to tell the difference pretty easily.

If it is just a catback I could care less, it will eventually be swapped out anyway, and I can probably sell it for more money that a stock one. I just thought it was ironic that the ad says how hard they are to find unmodified, abused, or cut up....yet it has clearly been modified.

But, at least from my point of view, I think if anything this car maybe had a lid (took it off and sold it) and catback car.

I'm inclined to think if it previously had headers, or a big mod like a cam, then they wouldn't have taken everything off but the catback on. If they had a lot of work into it, they would have no reason not to pull something as simple as a catback off.
