Looks really clean. One thing I noticed is the air box clamps were off, I don't know if you were changing the air filter in the pics or not. Make sure its clamped so you don't accidentally get dirt in the engine.

Sorry for the delay... Just finally finished doing the Adams paint correction, buttery wax, and glaze. She looks brand new!!! I also did all of the interior with Adams products.

How did you find this? Been looking for about 2months and all i find are either trashed real bad or mints worth $20k. Way out of my budget.

Otherwise congrats!

Nice car !

If I came across something like that last year I may of ended up with an 02 BLK/BLK WS6 HT M6 30K vs 98 BLK/Taupe WS6 Vert A4 30K

Regardless looks like you got a good deal. Enjoy !

I actually found it on autotrader.. I had to drive 7 hours (well 21 hours in a blizzard) from Cleveland oh to New Jersey to look at it and buy the title. I had it shipped back to Cleveland the following week. He wanted 14,500 for it, which I totally would have paid. I offered him 13,000 and he took it.

It was a best case senserio, it was his brothers car that just passed away. He had 8 cars that he was trying to sell that was his brothers. The thing is mint besides a little wear on the drivers side floor mat. I was beyond lucky to find a 30,000 mile ws6 for this

I bought mine in 2010 for 19,500 with 46,000 kms/29,000 miles. I didn't want the yellow but it was clean and only had a Magnaflow and K & N intake ( I have the origional). I struggled with painting it, after many polls on this site I learned that the colour was never that desirable and everybody mods these cars! Now, when I see a cage, 9" ford and drag tires, I would be nervous! That said, these are cool cars and meant to be fun, I don't think they will ever get deep in collector status unless you are Jay Leno and have a mint one in your collection! Enjoy, you won't be able to leave it alone for long, LOL.

Congrats on picking up a sweet car! Good job on detailing.
I just picked up a mint '99 30th Anniversary T/A. But I paid way more than you....
