Help I have recently found a 1999 firehawk in my area with 41000 miles for 17950. I have a 2001 trans am ws6 with 37000 miles and considering selling it to buy the firehawk.
The hawk is red and number 312 out of 719 and has a lid,headers,and true duals.
Whats everyones opinion on selling my 01 to buy the 99 with more miles but alot rarer and if its a good trade off?

Keep the WS6, the hawks are more rare, but the WS6's actually bring in more $$$$$$$, plus the ls6 intake and the zo6 clutch that the hawk dont have. People go nutz for the steriod hood, and a hawk is only worth more to a collector if it has a few thousand miles on it. 40k is too many miles and the car will only get more miles as it gets older. Hell, saw a 01 nbm hawk vert go for $20k last month and it only had 13k miles!!! 6 speed too!!!

Since you are asking I am wondering what is wrong with your car? Why trade down 2 years? It's not really faster than yours and even has a few more miles. I don't get it unless you just want to say you own a Firehawk.

Get the Hawk, and only tell them yours was a repairable if they ask, or want a Carfax. If the title is clean and the carfax is too, then REALLY don't tell em

If your car is running fine then NO don't get the Firehawk that is older with more miles.
just wait....and you will know when a good deal comes along and you won't have to ask anyone about it....you will just FEEL it!
Good Luck with your decision!

Alot of people on here use the word "clean" and I always thought that meant title or looks good, BUT it actually means "not hit". I personally would never buy a "hit" car, as even with the smallest hit, things can get f'ed up down the road, (trans, frame, shaft) ect...lots of issues. I would say a "hit" car loses at least $5k in value not to mention how hard it would be to unload that sucker!!!! Salvage?? LOL is there even a question?? How many of u would buy a salvage car for $15k?
