Default Finally bit the bullet

Well, I finally sold my poop-*** V6, and got something with some *****. It's a 2001 Trans Am, i know it has some sort of SLP Loudmouth on it, and I want to say its a loudmouth 1, but i dont know of anyway to tell, but the guy said he was almost sure it was one. It has an SLP lid, smooth bellow, FTRA kit and thats all I know of. It is a bit of a project, has a few paint issues, but nothing worth immediate attention, I will get pics up soon, this OH rain is killing me. Nice to finally have something worth modding, and flooring I guess next is to do some free/ cheap mods, first i think will be manual fans, pretty easy to do from what i hear, and nice to have at the track and the stop and go traffic im in a lot.

Yea, it does seem a little high, even from a dealer, Was the warranty included or was it extra?

That's pretty high priced
I've seen quite a few decent ones around here for around 7-8k
Congratulations nonetheless

No, warrenty was an extra 1800, 2 years unlimited miles, even covers coils, but the way i see it is that 1800 now is cheaper than a 2 grand rear end replacement soon

Yeah, that is top retail pricing for an excellent car in my zip code. www.kbb.com shows $11,800 but if the car was really decent and just what BrdOPry wanted, then that is cool . I get nervous hearing about additional warranties though. So many bad companies out there that just don't honor them. In any event, BrdOPry, nice upgrade and enjoy the ride. Hope you have many good years of driving in that baby.

Manual fans are a waste, and that ******* warranty is way too high Sounds like something a woman would buy.

Pics or ban! I know I was sure excited when I went from my 3.4 V6 to a Trans Am, my first one was an LT1, and it was a blast. Now my LS1 is even moreso.

Don't feel too bad about the price, that's not an extreme price for one in good condition.. I actually paid $11.5k for mine, with no warranty, but I don't care because I was willing to pay for the EXACT car I wanted, and I got it. SOM WS6 M6, with rare Camel interior, almost bone stock. 92k miles when I bought it still happy to this day.

^ exactly, it sickens me seeing these beautiful last of the breed f-bodys going for dirt cheap. Dont feel bad i paid more than you for mine, of course mine only had 38,xxx miles.


OP thats the best decision you ever made, Welcome to Heaven.
