Default Just got a 00 Trans am WS6, how did I do?

I will have pictures upon request, but I was curious if anyone thought I got ripped off...

The car is a 2000 black WS6 with black leather interior, (excellent condition interior, no crack on dash, no tears) it's a 6-speed and the car is bone stock, lol. Not even exhaust.

The paint has a nice gloss still, but has a few areas where the previous owner touched it up and you can see the clear coat bubble a little on the roof. It has the stock WS6 chrome wheels and the tires are new.

Car has 128,003 miles on it and I got it for $6100. How does that sound, or did I get screwed?

Thanks, I just wanted a few opinions to make sure it wasn't a complete waste. The car is really great to drive. I already prefer it over the 2001 Camaro SS I had.

Default depends on what you want

i have '00 NBM WS6 M6 and I paid 18000

it only had 9600 miles on it when I got it 6 months ago.

i wanted something that would be collectors condition for the next 20 years.
so it was worth it for me.

i think you got a legendary car, and i think you got a deal. enjoy it.

Sounds like a good deal. Be ready for random quirky things to go wrong though. A lot of guys I know have 99's and they all had weird electrical problems. From what I have seen on here the 00's are about the same.

Id say you did good. I sold my 01 WS6 with 122k miles for 7k It had a cam,springs stall and full exhaust but it had some issues. Bad tune, clear coat pealing streo was messed up. Wish i would kept it. Would make a great DD so i would have to put miles on my SOM. Post some pics up.

You did fine if the title was clean and no serious Carfax issues.

If you like it and drive it without feeeling regret, then you got a good deal. By looking at the pics, I'd say a very good deal. Congrats!

Oh, shes pretty. I think you got a good deal. Those bubbles on the roof are pretty normal and will most likely come back even with new paint. No cracked dash is amazing. I wish mine wasn't cracked. Over all, very good.
