Thinking of Selling the WS6 I just got my WS6 like 2 months ago and Im already thinking of selling the bastard. I love the performance and the look of the car but mod money isnt there and insurance if ******* brutal. Im gonna see about getting it refinanced but I dunno, Im not pleased with the cost effectiveness of my car and the issues its having after only 2500mi. Perhaps if anyone has any tips on insurance providers but Im paying 285 a month in insurance and 500$ a month in car payments. No big deal till gas prices went through the roof holy god I hate the universe... Thinking of going back to a 5.0.

No ******* clue, they said drop it off today and they'd look at it tommarrow morning and keep me updated. Im hoping the diff. Honestly if there's something seriously wrong with it Im gonna throw up the biggest bitch fest directly to GM they'll fix it all. I ordered the Hawk Brake kit a few days ago hopefully it should be at my house today.

WS6 Optioned Trans Am fully loaded with 10k miles will run you more than 21995 at a dealer. Ida bought from a private party but carfax on the car checked out. I didnt want a headache but I got a migrane anyway. I believe the original MSRP after taxes on my car new was somewhere in the range of 38000k so whatever. I think Im just gonna pay it for the next year and trade it in or sell it for like 18-17k I barely put any miles on it since my job is 10mins away from the house and Id rather have sex than go to teh clubs so I save on gas.

Yeah well I got a 3500$ trade in for my rustang that was leaking every fluid you put in it so I kinda got raped on the price but I mad good with my trade in so I figure it balances out somewhere... btw, did you pay 20k with those mods on the car or did you buy yours stock?

Thanks for the info it that kinda insurance pricing would greatly extend the life of the car in my garage. As you'll have noticed Im the worst impulse buyer in the history of the universe... Car's been stock for 4 weeks... lol

IMO, most dealers are way overpriced on Trans Ams. Camaros are usually much more reasonable, and frankly, after owning both I can't see any reason why the T/A is worth more. I like the cars almost equally; sure there are specific pros and cons to both but it all basically averages out IMO.
Either way it's hard to find a good deal at a dealership. Private sales are usually far more reasonable.
