Default How good of a deal am I getting?

Hello all.

My aunt is selling me her 2002 Trans Am. She's going through some financial trouble and family trouble. So she decided to finally sell it to me, after i've begged her to sell it to me for years.

The car is a base Trans Am, 40k miles, 6spd, Black/Ebony.

I'm getting it for $10,000. Kbb lists it for $16k. I'm selling my 95 Mustang Cobra to get this. Hopefully it will pay off for us both in the end.

i'm going to...thats something a ricer would do.

i don't really believe in "clone" cars. but i do prefer the ws6 hood over the stock flat hood.

Don't feel bad about the WS6 hood. Wifey drives an '01 T/A and while you and I know it is a Trans Am , it just doesn't look like a Trans Am without hood scoops. I swapped the flat hood for a WS6 lookalike fiberglass one and got it professionally painted to match the factory paint on the rest of the car. Looks 10 times better! Now if I can talk her into ditching the factory wheels/tires....

The lower airbox is different yes. It sits up higher than the rest of the f bods.
