I really would love some advice on which car to buy

They are both the same price $20,000

options are

2002 White Firehawk 33k miles
or
2002 TA Collectors Edition, with mods

Please help me decide which is better and most desired.

Thank you so much

 

I guess I'm just biased, but I would get the CE.
Here is mine.

 

but is it worth more? I mean the Firehawk seems to be valued higher, is it because of the suspension upgarades? I really dont understand cars, I am buying this for my husband and its a suprise, so I really need help

 

You'll notice the CE from a distance much more than you will the firehawk simply because of the color. I would, however, much rather have the firehawk if I was in your husband's shoes. The firehawk is really sleek looking and has a certain appeal to it because it is not just another Ram Air T/A. Both cars are a great choice though. I would compare mileage, price, and condition.You said that the CE has mods, you want to make sure that they are "tasteful" mods and not something that defaced the car's value. Hopefully it isn't hooked up for spray, you don't want to buy a car that has had 20 bottles of nitrous squirted through it. LOL Hey JCURTAIN, I love those wheels!

 

It's a matter of personal opinion.

I've always loved the "rotten banana" look of the Collector's, but honestly I'd get a Firehawk. Not all Firehawks have the upgraded supspension (Bilstien or Koni1LE). The upgraded suspension were additional options available on Firehawks.

That being said the Firehawk's hood is more mature compared to the WS6 (collectors), plus it has functional heat extractors that lets hot air out of the engine bay.

EIGTHER WAY HE'S A VERY LUCKY MAN!!!

Here are some photos of my Firehawk.

 

Ok, I think the Firehawk is it then. It does have the balister (or something) suspension upgrade.

One more question. This firehawk is white, is that a good color? I mean is it desired or disliked?

 

I would personally go with the Firehawk because they r sooo sick and in white I think they look nice and clean. I personally dislike the CETA's because yellow isnt my thing. Both are rare so either would be cool but I would go in the Firehawk direction easily.

 

While I love the way both cars look, and would kill for either car, if I had a choice, I'd pick the Firehawk for the reasons stated in the above posts.

 

Done. FireHawk it is, but am I paying too much

$20,000 for a white one with 35,000 miles?

Do you think they will appreciate?

 

The price is good, not fantastic, but good. I'd have got the CE though, they are SICK!

 

Two months ago I was offered $27000 for my 45k mile 'Hawk.
I turned it down because it's just not for sale.

Of course mine is honestly better than any showroom Firehawk, but still 20k is about right for a stock 'Hawk with 35k. -Joshua

 

................Firehawk...............

 

I'd go for the Hawk

 

Firehawk, ...
Need to know more about the SLP options on the car tho.
Does it have additonal SLP adders like the Bilstien, or the 1LE suspension upgrades?
Does it have the chrome wheels?
It'll take 20-30 yeas for them to gain any value IMO, ...
And if you're doing it for an investment, do yourself a favor, ..., Send me the $20k & I'll invest it & give ya a heck of a better deal back in 20 years, ...

 

I dont care for white personally. What color does he like? What color doesn't he like? I like darker colors personally. My personallity says to go with less noticable colors, so that would rule out the yellow. What mods do the yellow one have? How often will he drive it? If not that often (weekends), then get him a manual. If he will be racking up the miles (ie only car), then get an auto. Hopefully some of this helps.

 

Go with the hawk so you can say you have a hawk. Go with the CE if you want to stand out from every other T/A in the parking lot!

 

my hawk in white...

Personally Id go with the CE... I mean, thats just always really been my dream car. I love passing them on the street and just being like DAMN, that is one bad assed car.

 

CETA will be worth more in the long run. And mine always stands out aginst my buds LS1's..

 

How do you figure that?
