I may be purchasing a 1999 Trans Am (non-ws6) 6 speed (non hurst shift) today. The car is clean, 90k miles, all stock and only needs a few things like headlight motors, antenna motor, window motor, some minor suspension maintenance. The car has a production date of 9/1998. I wanted to get some opinions if people think this would be a great deal at $6k and if an early production 99 would have the 99+ PCM? Also, is there anything in particular you'd recommend looking (problematic thing) for on this car opposed to an 01-02? Thanks!

Sounds good to me if you're prepared to fiddle with replacing those motors (been there, done that). I'm not sure the antenna motor is still available ... I seem to recall not being able to find one once.

On a 99 I would want to replace the intake with a LS6 (about $300) and I definitely plan to get a good shifter (MGW is popular) as the standard non-Hurst shifter is terrible.

Sounds like a good deal to me.

Car has Tipical issues like any other fbody would.

The good news is you won't have to worry about the sail panel bubbling. You can get rebuilt motors at Advanced Auto with a lifetime warranty. I would say that's a fair price.

Not true, cars built after 5/98 are at risk of sail panel bubbling.
