the phone number for the lot is in tn. but the guys phone number is from here in west texas, odessa midland area. looks real shady. if that car is here in odessa, it may very well be my old ta, it was a 2000. got totaled and that would explain no ws6 rims and hood. i will find my paper work from the car after work and see if the vins match.

VIN says black leather, WS6. It is the right color exterior. I think it's likely VIN swapped, or a car that was stripped and put together with anything that could be found. Between the wrong seats, dash, gauge cluster, 98-00 engine in an 02 car, V6 lid, wrong hood, wrong steering wheel, Fake Z28 exhaust tips, wrong wheels etc, something SERIOUS is up. I'm led more towards a V6 car with the VIN changed and engine/tranny swapped to an LS1, because there is a lot of V6 stuff for someone to have put all of that on a legit WS6 car.

This would be fine if he was not trying to scam people that its is a real WS6. he will is probably be trying to sell it to someone who does not know these cars very well. I hate scammers.

I told him that he either needs to investigate it more if he doesn't realize the issues, or stop trying to rip people off if he did. He sent back for me to **** off and that I was a ******* idiot, so I told him what all was wrong with it, and that if he's a legit business he's looking at a lawsuit since he has been made aware of the issue that he is advertising something without disclosing the issues. He sent me this in response

Thank you oh holy Savior. I think you are all ***** for expecting the car to be a perfect car for half of what it is worth. It says it is too cheap and to call for details. The Vin tag and sticker in the door match a WS-6. Whatever was removed for whatever reason along it's life is not my fault or concern. I have a carfax for anyone that is really interested in the car that explains a lot. Otherwise I really don't care what you all think about my ad. By the way, where am I catching all of this **** from anyway??? if you all had real ***** and were real men you would give me the name of the forum where all this **** is being stirred so I could give you folks the details. However, all you keyboard warriors would rather talk **** in emails. If you really want to know all the details send me the name of the forums where this **** started and I will set you all straight. If not, do not waste my time anymore. Thanks, Drew
Shall I send him the link!?!?!?!???!?!?!

I am the seller of this vehicle I finaly found where I was getting all the griping from. I am a licensed dealer and this is not a scam. The Vin on the door that has all of the RPO codes including the WS-6 option matches the metal VIN in the window. There is an abvious story to this car and it is not me trying to scam anyone. If you are truely interested in this vehicle you should call and get the entire story, not just email me telling me I am trying to screw someone. The car was wrecked long ago and put back together. I have no idea as to what the whole story is as I bought the car at an auction. We are not in business to scam anyone and we would not have been in business for the past 20+ years if we were scammers. You folks should all know that the car has to have a storry since I am asking roughly half what it would be worth if it was perfect.... That should be blattenly obvious. I am a used car salesman and not an expert on what T/A's or Camaros are supposed to have. If I knew every option that was supposed to be on every vehicle I sold, you folks would be praying to me because I would be "THE CAR GOD". If you visit our website
www.4seasonsautos.com you would see we have two other T/A's for sale. You would also see that most everything has a free carfax listed for you to draw your own conclusions. Carfax will not let me post thier carfax on autotrader because this car does not qualify for the buyback gaurantee. I just love how everything gets blown out of proportion on forums and it certainly helps when people tweak personal email replies to make things sound even worse. I don't have to sell this vehicle to anyone here and I certainly don't have to scam anyone to sell a vehicle. If you were wondering what the story is with the car here it is. The toll free number listed is through autotrader and has nothing to do with texas other than a router. If you want to know any more than this your guess is as good as mine. Here is a copy of this vehicle's carfax:

as long as you explain that the car has almost nothing original. mis matched interior/engine parts. v/6 speedo that likely doesnt show the correct speed, and a air lid thats not for that car. the car was pieced together and that its about $4500 over priced. also replying with words like "****" in an e-mail from you (representing your dealership) shows a lot of class
