Default 3yrs and I am back!

I havent been on here in 3 years. I am hunting and hunting seriously for another T/A. I used to have a 98 as some of you might remember, maybe not.. but anyway long story short, I am divorced and my new lady wants me to get a T/A again, and I want one locally. I only have 6k to spend to purchase so ANYONE please help. I want no older than a 98 if thats even possible. NW F-body members help me please!!!

I just bought my 02ws6 for $10 grand from a Washington resident. 27k original miles, m6, bone stock. So there are deals to be found every so often.

FYI I sold a 98 T/A w/ 103k miles on it for $6500 3 years ago....

The car wasn't in bad shape either. I think you should be able to find something out there for that much.

thanks, I tried the 2500 one, and its a great deal its a formula, auto but its 2500.. tha reason for it is it has a lower engine knock that progressivly gets worse as the motor heats up.. im gonna try for the 6500 one..

He offered it to me for 4500 awhile back, when I just talked to him he said 5500 when I told him someone was interested. I don't know why he told you 6k, I wouldn't pay over 5k for it with 150k on it. Sorry it didn't work out.check craigslist, there was another on there in snohomish? It was 4500, also black.
