Default I think I might buy this SS....

Okay so I found a low miles SS on autotrader that I am considering. How does this one look? And can anybody tell what the heck is on the steering wheel?

Yeah those taillights are gay. I asked the guy and he has the stock ones still. He is open to taking offers so I wouldn't be paying full price. And I meant that little brown spot on the steering wheel. Any idea what that is?

I don't know what that brown spot is, I wouldn't worry about it though. I def wouldn't pay 22 for that car either. great condition, but still.

Nice car, but I think he's asking waaaay to much for it. I mean its not like its a new car.

I'd give him 18K max for it, thats more of a fair price

actually i looked at it again, and i'm very positive that's what it is. so no worries, it probably just looks brown because of the lighting. they are actually just indendted into the leather.

If you mean the brown spot on the steering wheel rim, looks like a stain from where the guy usually grips the wheel, it may be just a lighting effect. Other than that, it looks good, (other than the tail lights) I don't know as I'd give him $22k for it, more like $18-19

No silly, I'm talking about the brown spot on the rim of the streering wheel. It's about at the 2 O'Clock position (with the steering wheel at dead center).

it looks like a nice car... i agree the lighting may be why theres that spot on the wheel. the miles need to be a tad lower for that price though... i paid around that and mine only has 8300 on it. and its modded.

And at least at a reasonable price.

The brown spot is either a picture fluke or a dirty spot.

For 22k, I'd rather have a '97-up Vette or a '03-04 Cobra. It's a very nice car, but it's not worth 22k. I'd say 17.5k max.

Thanks for the input guys . Like I said earlier, I would NOT be paying full price. The guy said he is somewhat flexible about the price so I think I will try to get it down to 18k.

Thanks again guys

Lol yeah, that's the first thing I asked him about when I sent him an E-Mail. He says he still has the stock tails (whew) *wipe sweat off forehead*)
