Question 2001 Ss Or 1998 Trans Am

Here's My Problem,
I Have A 1998 Bright Green Metallic Trans Am In Good Shape With 97k And Everything In Good Shape No Ws6 And Automatic.
I Can Trade My Trans Am Plus $3000 For A 2001 Ss Camero 6 Speed With 103k And In Pretty Good Shape But An Unknown Car. Camero Is Silver And Appears To Be Completely Stock. Looking For A Car To Enjoy And That May Grow In Value
Questions
How Much Should I Be Willing To Pay With Trade (just A Range)
Thanks My Ls1 Friends

i'd keep your 98. same milage, and you know the history on your car.

just take that 3k and sink it in your TA - buy a WS6 hood and get some new paint if you are concerned about looks.

Def keep the T/A, you know the history of it and if anything wrong/not wrong and it has lower miles.

I would just keep ya ta, like stated in few posts before, buying (trading) for a car with unknown history can be a mistake...

if you want to mod the car in the future it would be a good time to trade, just make sure you check out the car throughly

b/c the cars have even mileage, I wouldnt give more than 1K for the trade, assuming the cars are also in equal condition, otherwise just keep the TA and start modding it

The TA is a rare color. Keep it.

WS6 = Performance Package AKA Suspenion, and some other things.

You can have Ram Air without WS6, and WS6 without Ram Air.

Keep what you got and mod it, unless your really liking the SS. More or less, you will probably pick up someone else's problems by trading your car in on another (you don't know what that car has been through, where as you know what yours has).
