Default 98+ T/a

Yes, I'm new here and will be making an introduction post in a bit but I figured I'd make this thread first.

Tomorrow night, I'm going to the local dealership to check out a car they're shipping in for me... my dream car. 98+ Trans Am 6-speed Sunset Orange Metallic. I cannot wait. I've been excited since last night when I found out they were having it delivered in for me. I don't know any specs on it (mileage, year, etc.) but I do know it's a 6-speed Sunset Orange Metallic T/A.

So, what should I be looking for? What sort of service records/maintenance should I ask about and at what mileage? This is the exact car I've wanted for years and I am so stoked about it! Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Well, if the color is SOM, it'll be an '01/'02 car. That color wasn't offered on the '98-'00 cars.

Interesting. That is a fact I didn't know. I REALLY want a 02 since it would be a Final Year and that is just awesome. I hope it is... I can't wait!
