How rare is triple white 98 TA WS6 Vert? Wondering how rare this car really is. Dealer near me has a 98 WS6 Vert TA in triple white with 23K miles for $17,500. Doesn't say if it's stick or auto and I haven't stopped to actually look at it. The dealer's father owned the car.

My first guess would be that yes it is rare. Ill try and look up some #'s. (Look for ACW, he has a ton of good info).

So depending on the combination of all three, (top, interior and exterior) it is probably an uncommon car.

That price is kinda crazy, unless the car is like showroom condition and bone stock. I just bought my WS6 last week, 29,000 miles on the odometer, and paid $12K for it.... and it's one of the rarest non-special edition LS1s they made.
The blue book value on that car, with every option, in outstanding condition.. is only $14K.
Dunno how rare it is, but I imagine with a white top and a white interior (which was pretty uncommon), it's probably a fairly rare car.

From the link above it's probably one of only about 232 made. It doesn't list how many with white interiors. This dealer is always 3-5K high on their prices on ANYTHING. I had looked at a 30th Camaro there a few years ago and they were about 3K high on that too. It's probably mint but I didn't get out and look it all over. I really don't like all white cars myself.

I actually stopped and looked at this car tonight. It was dark and the lot wasn't very well lit but the car is NOT in mint shape. All 4 wheels have been curbed and the chrome is flaking. The drivers rear ground effect piece is cracked. The white leather is somewhat worn and discolored on all seats, more on the drivers than the others. The seatbelt loop on the drivers seat is broken off. It might look worse in the daylight. DEFINATELY NOT worth the $17,500 asking price. Oh, and it is an auto.
