Also they say its gold, Im not sure if T/As came in gold as a color code? I couldnt find anything searching for color codes too. But my dad was stating it looks like a pewter from the pictures.

im pretty sure gold is a 98 only color... i dont know about ou but i would never buy from a car lot. i work at a dealership and everycar i get in i wring the **** out of, just because it isnt mine!!! if you are buying right now dont settle!!! if you look long enough you will find what you want, right miles at the right price. my old man scored at 98ta, 56k black on grey, m6 - mint car, for like 9000!!! they are wtill out there man, you just have to search deep enough!

BTW, 9k is not that great of a deal for a 98 T/A.

2. vehicles need to see occasional WOT for engine management to function
correctly.
3. 80% of the time i do go WOT there is a huge cloud of carbon smoke, so
it needed that.
4. next time you find a 10 year old, bone stock all original car with 50k send
me a PM! it must be a good deal if yall are talking about spending 10k on
a car with 130k miles!!

Really, thanks for the math lesson! My point is that the 2000 WS6 for $8K, even with 90k miles, is a much better deal than a 98 t/a for $9k with 56k miles. Look it up on kbb. Your deal was okay but his is much better. I do agree the SS is a little high though.

in the 5th picture it looks like something is wrong with the shifter
but seriously, you didn't mention the year. Looks nice, but the price sounds a little high for the miles. And it seems to me there are a lot of auto cars out there, have you checked cars.com? Also autotrader.com too, but I've had great luck with cars.com, my Z and my subaru

For example if I sold my car, it's chirped gears a thousand times and tached up plenty of times. Big deal, it's maintained and goes like hell.

That T/A is pure sex.....and it's definitely a better deal than the SS.
40K miles less for 2 grand less, plus it's way better looking. Pretty much a no brainer, wouldn't you say?
And what's up with the SS anyway, it looks like an Armour All bomb went off under the hood.

so if it's good for the car, why are you saying don't buy from a dealer if at the dealer, the mechanics blow the carbon out? Anyway, I'm sure many private sellers also ring them out. Really makes no difference besides not getting the maintainence receipts etc.

it may not make a difference to you, but it does to some. just my opinion. some people dont know what the hell they are doing when they beat on a car. i would rather buy from a private seller that a used car lot any day. at least if i get from a private seller i know that everyone in the shop hasnt had their way with it. even when my car was under warranty i wouldnt bring it to the dealership!
