Just Bought 2002 Ws6

My brother and i just got back from buying his 2002 Silver WS6. 40,000 miles, 6spd, 2 sets of wheels and brand new tires. The stock wheels are on it for now and he is picking up the black wheels on monday and gonna have them put on. The black wheels will be up for trade very soon.

Looks like it might have been in a crash, the steering wheel airbag cover has been replaced with a graphite (gray) color one instead of ebony (black). And I can't think of any reason why to replace it unless the airbag popped. Also, whats up with the tan floormats???

How much did he pay for it, and you guys run a Carfax before hand? Car does look nice though.

Peace,
Craig.

I wouldn't doubt if my car was in a wreck before. I noticed there has been some body work done to the driver side qt. and also the front fenders have been repainted.. Doesn't match too well. I'm about to have it painted so it's all good.

The floor mats are not tan. Just the lighting. The airbag in person doesnt even look close to being the wrong color. But i guess we will see if it has been wrecked or not.

He found the car on autotrader the day it was posted. He bought it from Chris Tatum who use to be a big deal up at north texas nissan but has recently opened his own used car dealer Danrichautogroup.com.

The car has not been wrecked. I just checked the car fax for it. In person the air bag does not look like a diffrent color. I think its just the lighting.

Carfax will not show everything, but I suggested it incase a shop had reported it.

Sorry to burst your bubble bro, but that steering wheel cover is not ebony (black) at all, that is graphite. I've my t-tops off and seen my T/A & Camaro in every light you can even think of and never ever does my steering wheel cover look graphite (gray). Look at the steering wheel controls that are gray, they match!

*Edit- Maybe try to take a pic under different lighting, it could be camera & lights.

Peace,
Craig.

it did to me as well.... just b/c its not on the carfax doesnt mean it hasnt been wrecked just that it wasnt claimed.. etc nice find...

and the black wheels' offset doesnt look right either... maybe just me.
