Default '02 Firehawk or '02 WS6

I am torn between buying an '02 Firehawk with 57,000 miles or an '02 WS6 with 23,000 miles.

I think I want to go with the Firehawk but I'm not sure yet... what do you guys suggest? Firehawk or WS6???

Well, the Hawk is more of a collectors car, but many people mod them anyway. Depends on the wear and tear on both vehicles.

I'd personally go for the 'hawk.

Either/Or, both are great cars, which ones cheaper, how much you willing to spend, abuse on either car, etc. But I voted for the WS6 but I am a little biased(sp?) Just like WARSHRIKE said- most people mod them anyways.....

Both are good cars, just depends on the price. If your'e going to mod it to hell, and it's your everyday car, then I would buy the cheapier price. They both have looks. Either way it's a win for you.

Default Prior owner??

I think you need to find out a little about the prior owner and how the car was used in both cases. If the Firehawk has some highway miles and not driven hard, then take that one, but I have a feeling the WS6 has been babied and is the car to choose with those LOW miles. An abused car is nothing but a headache and potential 'money pit'. Good luck!

Like everyone else is saying, the price and condition/how the owner took care of it. I voted the WS6.

If you're looking for a collectors car that will retain its value, go with the Firehawk.

If you're looking for a daily driver or weekend car to mod, go with the WS6.

there's too many factors you're not telling us...price, a4 or m6, what your plans are, etc etc

sorry smokepanther my work schedule has been really crazy lately. been working hard to get the money to buy a bird!!!

but anyway... ummm the FireHawk costs $22,600 and the WS6 costs $24,000.

Both of them are A4 and both are in great condition. Only thing wrong with them is probably just like one or two tiny little dings.
