Special Edition Vehicles - Need Help 2000 Firehawk

Hey guys i have the opportunity to purchase a local 2000 Firehawk with 64,000 miles......its in great condition.....only mods are borla adj. catback

He will not budge off 15,000.........what do you guys think is a good price.....would i be paying too much?

Thanks in advance :drive:

j/w, what color? what options? what kind of owner? smoker? teen? older guy?

Black, M6, non smoker, pretty much all options.( ttops, pwr seat/windows/dark leather interior/exc)

Used as a daily driver however.......has seen snow and rain

thanks :drive:

walk up with 13 cash, wave it and drive it home.

Snow, check it out underneath 1st

13 cash sounds good although if he wont lower the price, 15 is still good

64k miles?? no way,,,,whats it gonna be worth in a year with 75k? 100k in a few years??? u might as well take out 3k and burn it, cus car is only worth $12,500 if its mint!!!!! for $15k you should be able to find 2000 ws6 with about 30k miles.

Yea i figured 15 was a little too much......i was really looking to spend like 13,000 ...14,000 max but not with that many miles.....im just gettin frustrated because im particular in what i want and these cars are hard enough to find as it is .......(especially with people around me asking 20g's and above for 2000 or 2001's with 30 -40k on the clock)

If he wont budge i guess i'll just have to be more patient


Thanks for the help guys :drive:

well i guess it depends what you would do with it and how much of an enthusiast u are...good luck w/whatever

Well its basically a toss up between the firehawk if i can get it for cheap enough......or an 2002 ws6 silver fully loaded as well with only 44,000miles.BUT.....it had minor water damage (carpets replaced) and needs a new 1st gear syncro.......but that one is at a dealer and i got him down to 14,000

i really would like the firehawk because its such a special vehicle but $$ is tight.....so i'll keep u guys posted

thanks for the help :drive:

keep us posted :devil:

Buy the Firehawk, ...

Don't risk the water damage it could go farther than you can tell easily. Just get the Hawk.... :judge:

Thanks for the advice guys.......im goin to see if i can get this hawk .....lookin at it this sunday.......i'll keep ya posted

:devil: :drive:

Water damage isn't something I would even consider. Stay far away from it

WoW,,,,,,24k miles??? M6? blk? that thing is cherry,,,,,thats only a little over 3k miles a year!!!!! I would think alot better deal than a daily driver snow driven hawk, that will have to have everything replaced in the next couple years, and will have over 100k miles in a few years......is there any question?? damn.......offer him $14,500 cash,,paid on the spot, and if he says no,,let him sweat for a day or two,,then offer $15k final offer or your gonna by another one for the same price. There is NO SUBSTITUTE FOR LOW MILES,,,EVER.

Even with the Reverse problem though???.........he said it works but about half the time it will pop out of reverse?? even if i get it for 14.5 i cant afford to drop too much more if it needs a tranny or something?....any idea if this is common or an easy fix?

this car says 20 some on line price but i saw the same car in the paper for 18 you can fight with them and knock some off

dont compromise bro. if u dont get what u want everytime you see one you will regret it. i got the same car listed by SOMHawk27 two years ago with 29k on it for 22. it was higher than i wanted but i got the exact car i wanted. i looked at cars for over a year before i bought mine. the only thing i didnt get my first choice on was color i wanted red but got black. i looked everyplace for mine, ebay,yahoo motors, all over the net and it was a 16 hour round trip to pick it up and well worth it. i noticed looking at firehawks alot of sellers wont budge much so do your homework on the cars and i had much better luck at dealerships than private sellers. to many private sellers think the car is worth way to much. good luck,take your time it will pay off in the ends.and SOMHAWK27 im jealous, SOM was my first choice but i gave up tryin to find one.your a lucky man

ps i would steer clear of anything driven in the snow and salt

YEa i guess you guys are right......its just spring is comming and im getting anxious.......i check autotrader and all my sites like 500 times a day just to make sure nothing new came on haha......

Looks like a real nice hawk above there but i cant settle for an auto....i need that M6 :drive:


...The hunt continues ....i'll keep u guys posted

15k for a 2000 Firehawk is a fairly good deal.

I was looking for a 99-01 WS.6 and I couldn't really find anything less than 12-13k. And I was looking for a car with 50k+ miles.

I would take 13.5 or 14 to the deal and if he won't budge I'd definately buy it. Atleast that's my $.02.

Wave 13-13.5, then leave your number if he says no.
You'll prob have him say come get it in a day, especially if he has a signifficant other, make sure she sees the money too!!!

Well Guys.......thanks for all your help.......i waited it out for months and finally got exactly what i wanted....in my driveway as of this morning sits my 2001 Trans-Am WS6 all stock except loudmouth....full options 55,000miles will post pics as soon as i make it mine and get it all cleaned up


Thanks again :drive:
