Default Looking to buy a Trans Am. need help

'99 Trans Am
$6800
99,000 miles

I still have to go and check out the tranny, clutch, electronics, engine, ect. But if all that is good is it worth buying?
Sorry for the huge pictures, not mine and I didn't feel like downsizing them all after I uploaded them.
















It looks like the steering wheel is broken or something. And even though you can't really tell from the pictures it looks to have a lot of scratches. Thoughts??

It kinda looks like the air bag went off. I wouldn't buy it pure and simple 'cause it looks like a kid owned it, all that stupid *** stereo ****. And if that's true you know it's been beat on.

I haven't looked at it from that point of view, but I have to agree on all your points. Fortunately I have a friend who is a wholesaler that can get me a better car for less money. Hopefully a ws6 too

Well I'm 18 and I don't like the stereo, light (lol), or shift ****, so what does that make me?
