Default this an ok deal??

Im looking for a new car and ive found a 02 Trans Am WS6 A4 w/ 95K miles for $10,995. Owner does not want to negotiate on price! The car has an MTI Lid, TTII's, Lowered & looks to have a Magnaflow Exhaust system.

Overall, car looks to be in good shape on the outside. Inside looks ok too, your normal wear on leather seats. Aftermarket Stereo and in clean looking shape as well.

Just curious, with the amount of miles on the car, and for the price. Is this a good deal or keep looking???

Car sounds nice, but too pricey with those miles. I paid 8k for my 2000, with 88,000 miles.

Yeaa, i was thinkin it was to much miles for the price but i guess. He's adding a couple thousand for his upgrades.

I found another A4 02 WS6 w/ 48,500 miles for 17,500 OBO. I can probably work this out to 16k or less. Owned by a female driver, and looks in great shape as well. Think this could be the one i might end up going after.

yeaa, but i guess it dont help much either that im just lookin for a WS6 in 01 or 02 year's. ive always loved the look of the WS6 & wanted one, now that ive got the chance. i really wanna try and find one....

i really hope that lady is willing to drop the price to 16k or lower. i think that's an ok price for a stock ws6, that's well maintained and in great shape in and out.

I ended up with a 2000 WS.6 for $12,550 with 75,000miles. I waited 6 years to get my car cause I was waiting to get out of school. All 6 of those years I looked everywhere on prices and info. I too wanted a 98' or above WS.6 cause it was the coolest T/A from the factory. The thing I learned over all those years of searching is WS.6's for the most part are over priced. ESPECIALLY for 01' 02's cause they were the last years and had the upgraded LS6 goodies. If your gonna get a WS.6 your gonna pay a little extra, but, if you really want one, its worth it. If you don't care and could just slap in a ram air hood on a regular T/A, you can get much better deals on them. I'm sure if you look long enough, the right deal will appear. In the end it's gonna be what you feel is a good deal for a car, not that other people tell you its a good deal.

P.S. But don't just go out and get ripped! LOL

Well man, I paid 8700 for my 01 z with about 67k miles on it. I wanted a t/a ws6 so bad I could taste it. All the ones I found around here were way too pricey. I got the z and am happy with it. Good luck on finding that car

The water pump was shot and that was it. I drove it home with 10 gallons of water in the trunk, stopping every 10 miles to put water in it.......

Well, awhile back I got this 02 CETA at a gm dealership wit 59k miles. They wanted 15,900 for it, but I talked them down to 13,000. So, you will be able to find a good deal out there.

There's a guy in the LSX For Sale Forum with an 02 CE WS6 for around $12k if he still has it.

Are you talking about the 2002 NBM SS with 25,726 miles on it at the dealership, MotorTrends in Alvin, TX? Because if you are, I just bought it this Saturday morning. I finally got back home around 4 hours ago.
