What do you all think?
I am looking at a 2001 trans am ws6 ram air with 45000 miles on it. The price is set at 19000 but prolly can get it down to 18k. It's mods are a Torqer v2 cam, longtube headers, eibach lowering springs, short throw shifter and Borla exhaust. Sounds frekkin sweet and I really want it! what do you all think? Should I get it?

I think you would be getting ripped off IMO. Get on craigslist and find the nearest city to you. I'm sure you can find someone selling a car like that for 17k that you could talk down a bit. I would pass on it. Goodluck!

West Texas
I noticed you're from West Texas.... I'm assuming you're buying it from Beaton's. They seem to always overprice their vehicles by a few thousand. I am in Amarillo, and I got my TA from Dallas for just under 11k, with 70k miles. It had cam, headers, exhaust,etc and a buddy of mine just bought a WS6 TA from Beatons and paid 20k for it. Seems a little pricey to me. Nice lookin car though. Good luck in your decision making. I would try to talk em down to 15-16k.

Too much....
I got my SS with 42k miles on it for a tad over 11k. I'd say a max of 16k. Hold off and see what else you can find and that is all you see that you want go for it but try your hardest to talk them down.

Its an ok price i think. Keep looking if you want to wait. I waited 2 years and this is what i got(link), as is in pictures. Full custom suspension. and only 18k miles for $18,000 great condition. So if you can wait you may find a better deal.

Not an awful price but a modded car will usually sell for less than a stock one (in most cases). I would say if your looking to drop that much coin check out a C5 like someone else mentioned or if you have no qualms about buying a modded car check out the for sale section and the texas section for cars for sale in your area. I have seen some sick, heavily modded cars with all the right parts go for less than that.

Thanks for all your thoughts guys! I really appreciate it! I'm really debating on whether to get it or not. They have one exactly the same with a lot less mods for 16000. But I'll be getting my check soon so I'll have to make a decision in about 2 to 3 weeks. I know it's not going anywhere at that price. I'll probably look around a bit more, and if I don't find what I like I'll just make a decision on one of those two. I'm just so anxious to get in a LS1 already! They have been my dream cars forever!!
