Default 2002 Pontiac Trans Am Formula

Ho guys

I'm a owner of a 96 Cobra and i'm thinking to switch to a Pontiac Trans Am. But there are just a few cars (in figures: 2) here in my country (Switzerland)

What do you think about them:

Price in USD: 20000

or

http://www.autoscout24.ch/AS24Web/De...3&page=1&row=3

Price in USD: 34500

It's a german description. If there are question to the descriptions feel free to ask. =)

What do you think? Will i "feel" the change of my Sports Car?

The black one must have some work done, its engine size is listed at 6100ccm, which means it is a 6.1 liter...

@SneakyWS6

The engine was modded by Mallet. It has 370HP and 550NM (dunno what is that in lbs) on the WHEELS and the car should reach 300km/h. Thats why the car has this bodywork and the ricer Spoiler.

Id go for the silver. Save that extra money and use it for performance and appearence.

Theres no need for the spoiler or ground-effects on the TA, theres a guy who took his F-Body to 199mph without any body modifcations.

I'd go for the Formula (the silver one)... much cheaper, and pretty much the same minus a few minor suspension upgrades and a cheap exhaust.

Damn, they are expensive over there, huh? That same car would probably cost HALF that in the US.

@DrEvyl

Yes because here it is "Seller market" than al T/A's, Camaro SS oder Mustang Cobras are single imports and that make them exepensive. Most of the seller have not to sell their car but maybe the wanna have something else.

I also thought i shall import a car by myself. But shipping, taxes and some more will cost me around 3000dollars + car.

What i REALLY wanna have is a:
black T/A WS6, 2000-2002, M6, T-Top, stock, low miles... but in the internet i do not find really cheap ones. What will a car like i expect will cost me?

just posted this up in another thread... disregard the parts that don't pertain to you, heh:

i have a 2000 WS6 that i paid $21.5 for. i know a lot of people on here that would tell you that you can find them for a lot cheaper, but if you're adimate about a low mileage car that is stock and as close to a new car as you can get for a car that is no longer made, that's a reasonable price. i spent 2 months scowering websites, autotrader mags, local lots, forums... you name it! admittadly, there were a few deals that i just wasn't quick enough on that would have worked out better financially, but for 6k miles that price seems more than reasonable. in two months there were maybe a select few other cars that had the m6 with low miles in good condition for a better price ($18.5k was the cheapest one i found that was still worthy of purchase). fyi... my car had 13,9XX miles on it the day i picked it up. i even flew a thousand miles from San Antonio TX to Denver CO just to get it. don't be afraid to look around the entire country for a nice ride. if it's in good condition, it's worth the effort to retrieve it. plus... you get to spend all that time driving it back!
