Help a Noob Alrighty guys and gals, I'm currently thinking of trading in my current car on a 98-02 T/A M6. I have already spotted a few for sale and am going to ask you if you think the asking price is fair. I'm learning more and more about the F-Bodies everyday, but figured you all would be the best to ask regarding the pricing. So without further ado:
1.) 1999 Formula, 60k miles - $13,995
2.) 2001 Formula, 42k miles - $15,987
3.) 2000 Trans Am, 70k miles - $15,995 (possible WS6, how can I tell from VIN?)
4.) 1999 Trans Am, 66k miles - $16,555 (possible Firehawk, how can I tell?)
5.) 2002 T/A WS6, 36k miles - $21,999
6.) 2002 T/A WS6, 30k miles - $22,995
7.) 1999 Trans Am, 40k miles - $10,995 (Automatic)
Lets assume they all have the leather interior. These prices seem pretty high to me. (They are all dealer asking prices and I must go through a dealer.) Again, how can I tell a T/A is a legit WS6, and how can I tell a Firehawk is legit. Thanks!

#1 is a good price but keep in mind around 70k miles is normally when **** turns south especially if u dont know how the previous owner took care of the car...
#3 - price is too high for the mileage and it wont have the ls6 intake
#4 would be a good price if its a real firehawk, but once again year and mileage are a factor in my mind
#5 and #6 are way too expensive, period.

The thing is, I'm a sucker for the WS6 hood and the T/A spoiler.

On eBay used all day long for like $300 or less. You have to replace the WHOLE hatch. Black is the easiest color to match, so watch and see if someone sells a black one close to you. Then you don't have to worry about a repaint. I myself think the ram air hood and Formula spoiler look best, but then again, I am kind of biased, lol. Definitely get the Formula. T/A's are nice, but they look too flashy in my opinion.

To check for a legit WS6 look at the RPO codes on the inside of the drivers door. It will have a bunch of 3 digit letter/number combos. It will have "WS6" in the codes if its real.

I found an A4 T/A with 40k miles on it (cant remember the year) with an asking price of $10,995. This seems like a hell of a deal, even though I'm an M6 kind of guy. A4 --> M6 could be in my future.
