I sold my Wrangler on Friday morning & traded in my M3 for a Trans Am. Picked it up out by Gettysburg last night during a tornadic thunderstorm - sweet. It's a 1998 (Wish it had been a 2000-2002 - oh well). 6 speed, black/white stripes on black leather, t-tops, K&N FIPK, WS6 functional Ram Air hood, Flowmaster catback exhaust, Pioneer head unit & speakers. Aside from that it's all stock, just the way I wanted it. Pardon the crappy cell phone shots...


First, my prior F-body ('93 LT1 A4 Camaro Z28) next to Bam Margera's older Lambo:



And for the new one:


Bye bye M3:










Stripes are coming off as well.

 

Looks pretty good. What did you end up paying for it?

 

I talked 'em under $10k and talked 'em up $2k on my M3 as a trade.

 

I would say you made out pretty well! Nice bird

 

damn they raped you on your M3

 

Whatcha mean? They didn't give me $2k for the M3 lol. They said they'd give me X amount and I told them no. So eventually they added $2k to that price.

 

Whats your plans for it? Looks good!

 

id vote to leave the stripes but thats just my opinion

 

Wrangler and M3 for 85,000 98 t/a

if u didnt get like 5-8k on the M3

i am surpised how much Ls1's have come down they selling 50-70k miles for 5-8k all day...

and is it a real WS6? or just the hood

Good luck now ur going to be spending double the amount of the car just in mods

 

I would of at least kept the Wrangler! Good Luck with the car. I def remember your terminator looking z/28.

Welcome back to the site but you didn't need to bump every post you ever made on tech!!!!!

 

FWIW: I got $6000 for the M3. I honestly got bored of the car. It had 116k miles on it as well and just didn't have enough power for me. The Wrangler had 196,000 miles on it. I loved it, but I drove it a total of 4 times from October of last year to May of this year. I wanted someone who would use it to buy it.

The hood is a WS6 hood (functional). The car is not a true WS6. All the WS6's I found around here were automatic and $14,000, or 150,000+ miles. This was the least expensive one with under 100,000 miles in the area with a functional ram air hood. IMO it's not worth spending $5000 more for an auto trans and WS6 hood/suspension, or 50,000 more miles.

Mod-wise I am going to keep it how it is with the intake and exhaust. Not much more I "need" right now. May be able to get some wheels for very cheap at work since we have accounts with Mickey Thompson, Cragar, American Racing, The Wheel Group, Ion Alloy, PDK, etc.

For MPG improvements (It's better than my M3 already but wouldn't mind more) what should I be looking at?

Thanks!



Hahah I didn't bump every post. I only bumped a couple that I remember enjoying when I was here last ;-)

 

wow, not a ws6. the car sales guy will be telling his friends this one for years.

 

Why's that, cause I paid NADA on it?

 

Oh thank God.

Nice car

 

ur joking about the MPG's yea?

 

How do you mean? I have averaged 21 MPG overall during the past 2 tanks. My M3 averaged 20.

 

hmmm is that your gf in the reflection of the t/a window?

 

A 98 is worth ~$10K? I thought 02s where around that range? Its been 6 years since I looked at buying an Fbody so I'm behind lol.

So what are you going to do to it first besides the stripes?

 

seriously?!

nice buy OP not an expert on prices n all in the US but great choice enjoy it.

 

Damn I paid $12,000 for an M6, WS6 with 50,000 miles on it in 09. Thoguht prices for Z28and TAs with 85k on em were much cheaper these days.
