Bright purple metallic is a highly sought after color.

I hate when people say that ****. I had a 1997 Mustang GT as my first car *I know I know...* and it was in Aztec Gold Metallic....No one liked the color besides me. I guess everyone just liked red, or black.

I'd be suspicious of a price that low. Either its
a. Been wrecked
b. Has been dogged on and is in rough shape cosmetically and/or mechanically
c. The guy is a fool and its a nice car that you should go over and buy this very second.
If it isn't what you want though, don't buy it. Don't buy an auto when you really want a stick.

FWIW I saw a 1998 ls1 my friend was looking at 60k miles, for 7 grand, had a 6 speed t-tops loaded, z28. he ran a carfax, actual mileage shown 180k miles
Just make sure everything checks out, but that seems awfully low for a ls1, so I would make surewhat I am getting is what it is.

Even if it is a great price...... if you dont like purple and want a stick, dont buy it. Just keep searching and youll find the exact car you want, you may have to pay a little more but you'll be a lot happier with that car rather than cruisin in your purple z28 wishing you were in that black ss m6 next to you. If you dont like it, dont buy it.

42 Trans Am verts
26 Formulas
10 coupes and 2 verts with the WS6 package.
I have one of the 10 WS6s, and one of the 26 Formulas.

if you dont like purple then don't get it, who cares if it's rare. i wouldn't get purple just b/c i dont like it myself, and the auto thing, get what you want. it sounds like you're taking the first possible find here homeslice, look around and get what you want and something u like maybe cheaper will come around.

I'm not really a Camaro guy.

You might be confusing me with Jantzer who also had a BPM '98 Formula M6... he used to be a sponsor here. His car was originally owned by a guy who goes by the handle Matt 98 Formula on my site and LS1.COM.
My Formula is an A4, I bought it from a LS1.COM/LS2.COM user who goes by by the handle of Gwydion.
