Default Found a CETA, is it real?

I found a 2002 m6 CETA for 17.5 with 55k on the clock, seems like a really good price and everything looks like its in very good condition.

My question is, how can i tell if its a real ceta? I remeber seeing WS6 and WS9 in the RPO codes, and I also have the VIN#

It needs to have Z15 in the RPO codes. If it doesn't have Z15, it's not a CE. If you have the VIN, shoot it to me and I'll check through GM VIS.

Also, look for the paint code 54U in the RPO codes. That's collector yellow.

Sounds good to me. i picked up one with 20,000 miles on it for 20 grand. So i think your alright. Besides it would take a whole hell of alot to try and impersonate a collector edition without it being immediately obvious that it was done so. Go for it, you will love the stares you get from everyone you pass, and the comments you get.

I will potentially sell you mine for 18.5. Mine has 49k on it and a few basic mods. Still have all the stock parts except wheels. The wheels were changed prior to me getting the car. Very nice car!

I picked mine up for 18.9 with 29,000 miles on it. TexasSignature earlier mentioned the stares you will get when driving it around town. It is unreal and pretty cool...

I got mine for $18K with 30,000 miles.

They do turn heads, especially when it has a thumping H/C package, open cutout and TTIIs with 315s under its ***
