Bought mine a few days ago. $7200 for my red 2000 z28 w/ 96k on it. 12 disk changer, black leather interior, power everything.. nice ride. Bonestock except it had an electric cutout.. clean install to. Mods to come *grin* Already did a few. Car drives like a champ for how many miles it has. Already up to 99,000 after the trip home and thanksgiving holiday trip 
Peace,

I got mine last year for 4500. it had a borken rear end and throwing an engine code, which was a cat. converter, which is covered by warranty. put a 12 bolt in and the rest is history. you just can't be pickey when looking for a good deal. I found the one i wanted but waited about a year to get it.

I just bought my 98 black Trans Am A4 96k miles. The car is near perfect and looks primo and unwrecked, it is so stock it is sickning, no mods at all. The only thing I found wrong with it is there is a vibration or chatter in the brakes when pressed hard. I looked for about 9 months and bought it for just over $5,000, so with tax and all $5,500. I think I just about stole the car. I live in Mich and it is off season, the deals are there just look and be ready to buy. Cant wait for spring. See ya.

got my 2002 z-28 T-tops Loaded 19k miles for 9900.off ebay
on that. bluebook on an 02 is $15 (VERY MINUMUM) to $20 depending on options with that kinda mileage. and most would mark them up due to being a final production year. And Your straight up lying if you bought it from a dealer. A private sale i can see paying MAYBE $12500 (if they REALLY wanted it off their back). but your $9900 is saying you grabbed an otherwise clean 02 Z28 for about $6K under bluebook. And on ebay non the less. Sorry man but its hard to believe. if you can prove otherwise id love to believe it, cuz that only gives future ls1 buyers confidence. I bought my 99 T/A fully loaded in prestine condition w/ 40K miles for $10500. And that included 2 plane tickets up to ohio to pick it up and a full tank of gas to drive it back, i was more than happy. Plus i even got the previous owners brand new powdercoated WS6 wheels and new tires which werent even installed yet. Last edited by JAvenger007; 11-28-2005 at 09:28 PM.

Just thought I would give my $0.02. I do believe there are deals to be had out in the market. About 3 months ago, I was helping my father look for a late model F body and came across a 2002 T/A A4, bone stock, high miles at a small car lot. The price shown on the car was $12,900 and had been for several weeks. It just so happened that when I stopped in to ask, he was lowering the price to $10,500.
Makes me wish I would have had the money in my back pocket.
Take Care,

My 99' M6 TA with 112K was 6 grand in Houston, TX bone stock besides a cat back. It needed some work though. I had to get a new front bumper, RH fender, LH Door and RH sideskirt. The whole car was keyed on both sides too. The charcoal leather interior was awesome besides the worn driver seat and it missing the sunvisors. Oh, I forgot to say that the door panels had that classic crack on them also(Its a Pontiac thing in hot weather). The mechanical stuff was great but one window motor and a headlight motor that was suppose to be bad but I fixed it with a good conector for 3 bucks 
Everything is fixed now with the addition of some new mods and a ram air hood. It still needs a paint job(LeMans Blue Metallic). The only other thing is the security light stays done all the time.

I am really amazed at the some of the deals you guys find. LS1 f-bodies here in Arizona are still very expensive. Go to Autotrader.com and use 85029 for the zip code doing a search for a 98+ T/A and see what the prices are. UNREAL!
