That seems like a pretty good deal on a low mileage TA no matter the color.

Definitely a rare car. I'm sure you could resell it for more.

I tried so hard to buy a purple one. There was a 98 BPM WS6 with a 6 speed for sale when I was looking for a car, but it was like 16 hours away from me, had 113k miles, and i think the guy ended up selling it for around 9k (more than I wanted to pay for it, by a long shot). Just wasn't feasible at the time. I absolutely love bright purple metallic though, I am still upset that I couldn't buy that car.


Also, if I had seen this car for sale, had time to sell mine and buy this one, I would have lol.

I like that purple way better then that new green charger in the back ground. that should be worth some bucks in the future specially since pontiac is gone.

Very low miles for it's year! If kept in good shape and keep the miles low it'll be worth plenty years from now.

Thats a very nice car, and very rare.

I'm no fan of purple cars, but the fact that its a Ram Air Trans Am makes it cool. Kinda like the old school lime green and purple Mopars.

Anyone else notice that the window sticker doesn't match the car?? The fuel economy ratings are for an automatic, but the car is clearly a 6 speed
