Default Im picking up my "new to me" car tomorrow, let me know what you think...

I don't like buying from dealerships, but buying from a private party wasn't working out. It say's $12k, but I'm getting it for $10k out the door.

Only plans for it are lowering springs, exhaust, and OF COURSE... WHEELS. Let me know what you guys think.

Patrick.

Beautiful car, definitely the right color, but it is an automatic. I thought you had to have M6? Of course I may have been drinking.

Looks sharp - price seems decent; Jason had a 2000 TA with 84k on it for a bit less than that so sounds right. Congrats on the purchase

Nice looking car - are you keeping the billet grill? not sure how I feel about it.

best part of a bright red car is you can put any kind of wheel you want on it- black, white, chrome, billet, gunmetal.

I can't beleive I am going to say this, but I saw that someone in the special edition section painted some firehawk wheels white. What about white wheels (18's?) with white grans sport hash stripes on the fender? be a pain to keep clean. The white wheels on my 25th Anniv T/A are tough to keep clean and it isn't driven every day. still- it would be something different.
