Default Back into ANOTHER LS1...

So I sold my Camaro that I'd been working on a few months back and swore that I was done with F-Bodies. I'd had 3 at that point, two Camaro's and a T/A. While I loved F-Cars, I just thought I wanted something different. Fast forward to today... I am now the owner of a 2002 Black Trans Am WS6... My 4th F-body. I don't know what it is about these cars but every time I find a nice one I fall in love all over again... She's bone stock.

On to some pictures...

That mileage is pretty high for an '02. My '98 is four years older and it has the same miles.

Nice car. Is that the one you posted about possibily getting a while back?

Very nice find! I understand what you mean though. I love them too! I own 3 currently!
99,01, and an 02! The 99 currently has 27k on it. Its a v6 that I use for a DD. Welcome back to the wonderful world of F-Bodies!!!

I did the same thing. I sold my '02 WS6 and bought a G8. I am now back into an '01 Firehawk. These cars are addicting for sure.

No, different car. The other one that I asked about was way too high priced. He wanted 21 for it. Got this one for 17 down in Bloomington.

And yeah, 15K on a 98' is crazy...

That is a MUCH better price, very fair in fact.

Didn't you say that you worked with the guy that wanted $21k for the other one? You should be sure to let him know what you paid for this one.

Great find BTW.

Actually he said he paid $17k. But that's a fair price and pretty much the going rate for a winter-free sub-20k mile LS1 WS6 in our part of the country.

I think he did just fine.

To the people that aren't interested in low mileage or premium condition, then yes this might seem like a lot of money when 100k mile cars are selling for much less. But this is not the right car for those sort of people.

These cars are horribly addictive. I haven't been without one since 1996.
