ive got a 99 t/a (my baby/first car)with exhaust, lid, and about 2500 in stereo stuff with 116k on the clock. would it be smart to sell it and pay 1500 of my own money to buy a perfect condition lower mile storck ws6? or should i put the money into rims and new paint?

I voted no before reading, but I might have to reconsider. Only $1,500 difference? The mileage alone could be worth that.. How low is it?


Any way you can return the system to stock and still make the money?

Depends how many miles the other car has. Sounds like you should sell.

i dont know about the mileage. its just a thought right now. its my girlfriends neighbor and he has gone through about 3 of them already. he keeps it in perfect cond. waxed 2 times a month, in the garage and it has never seen rain. he sold his last one for 7k and it was the same but about a year back.

i still have the stock H.U but the cd player doesnt work. i dont have the stock speakers

$1500 for a nice upgrade is a 'no-brainer' but are you being realistic about what you can get for your car?? The $1500 upgrade might be a good thought but is it just wishful thinking?? A 116,000 mile car that needs paint (does it?) may not be as valuable as you think. Don't get your hopes up too high unless this is all a very real possibility. Good luck!

If it is a low milage car and you definitely can get enough out of your car where $1,500 is the only difference then go for it. But just be sure of your cars value.

see im not talkin about sellin mine for more than 6k. i know the guy and have talked to him and my girlfriend has known him forever so he would cut me a good deal because he would know it is going to a good home and i would take care of it.
my car has a macco job so its still good but some parts need to be buffed and touched up(overspray/underspray)

I would sell it if its the other one is in perfect condition. And stock!

if i understand you correctly you are saying to get the ws6 and sell it for something else?
i was thinking about that later on. maybe a c5...but i couldnt just buy it from the guy and then turn around and sell it.

He's saying sell your TA for the WS6 if the WS6 is in perfect condition and stock. I agree with you selling your TA aswell.

ads_99ta

well you said you hoped to get $6k out of your car. and there's also a $1500 difference in price. which puts a pristine low mileage WS6 at $7500? why is he selling the car that low? if that car is legit he could be your best friend but he's still losing a lot of money on that. if it is legit then i would jump all over it, unless you're just really attached to your car.

Dont invest any more money into the TA. If you change your mind after you paint and add new rims the money is lost. Go get the WS6.

IRONFIST

I'd stick with the T/A, don't get me wrong, I love my WS6, but I'd put the money into something else. Perhaps mods, perhaps invest it somewhere. It's just not a big enough of a difference to be worth the hastle and cost.

Id get the WS6

so how many miles are on the WS6? and id do a check on EVERYTHING as he seems to be selling it pretty cheap.

my bandit

iTrader: (10)

see thats the thing hes about a 60 year old man and he has always sold his cars for cheap. i dont know why. he keeps it in perfect cond. ive never seen it out in the rain and thats one of the reasons i dont want it because it will always be in the rain

THE-HOWARD

iTrader: (1)

well i say get the ws6 but you can always use that money and turn yours into a clone ws6

ads_99ta

why would you do a clone WS6 when you could get a real one and the price difference is only $1500? more importantly the price difference is $1500 between a low mileage WS6 in great condition and the OP's TA with 119k miles.

my bandit: not a shot at your car at all, but looking at it from what both cars are worth to another buyer the WS6 looks like a steal.

a WS6 is a hood, a little suspension upgrade (you would probably upgrade later anyways) some bigger rims, (you would probably change those also) and a badge on the back, nothing special at all. But if you say the car is lower milage, mint, non-macco paint job, and $1500 diff than what you could get for yours, I would buy it. Or buy it, sell it, use the extra $$ which would be several thousand, and make yours even faster and fix the paint....
