Exclamation Car is for sale

Black 2001 Trans Am WS6
6 Speed 66,000 miles.
TCS/ABS
Black Leather
12 Disc changer

Just Dynoed 327 HP, 340 Ft/lbs @ Dez Racing

SLP Loudmouth
SLP Lid
K&N Filter
UMI Subframe Connectors, welded in
WS6 Store short throw shifter, Hurst included as well
HyperTech 160 Thermostat

Tuned by me. I can put the stock tune back on if you want, but it's pretty stout as it is. Runs 13.1 AFR straight across the Dyno Chart.

Going on once I have a buyer - 4 Powerslot Rotors, and new Hawk Brake Pads.
I would do it now but money is tight, so once the car is officially sold I will buy them and put them on. It needs brakes and I can get a good deal on these.

I do owe more than the car is worth, but hopefully the selling price is close enough to use a credit card to pay off.

An appointment is set up for October 17th at Falmouth Autoworks to fix my door. It has a hole from an Excursion. They are a very reputable business.

Any questions feel free to ask.

No offense at all, but i dont see you selling it for that much on here.
seeing tracers 11 sec car go for 13Kish with a little over 20,000 miles i believe and other awesome cars go for so cheap. The value of these cars dropped a lot, you'd prob be luckier putting it on ebay or something. good luck

im selling it in other places too. it just sux that i owe more than its worth, otherwise dropping the price wouldnt be a problem. I have to come up with the difference to pay off the bank and the get the title to the new owner somehow... Im too broke to afford the car and too broke to sell the car

its a tuff spot. cars kinda suck in the fact that most of them decrease in value so quick, not really made for an investment.

but you have to figure, if you paid 18,000 for it and took out a 17,000 loan, in a few years you still will not get enough money to finish paying off your loan. If i sold my car, it would prob go for about $12,000, that means i just ate $4000 for driving it for 1.5 years, and that doesn't even count the $10,000+ in mods

buy a new honda , by the time u want to sell it it will still retain 50 percent of its original price... sad a i know but true. u could buy a new one for 14 grand and sell it for 6 years later for 9 grand... sooo sad but so true. at least when i bought the car and then started modding it i knew i was the 2nd and final owner. a car is not an investment,the way to go is realty... big bucls on that business. bit once again best of luck to u selling the t/a
