2000 Pontiac Trans Am - $8,500
Item Description:
Im the third owner of this car, the second owner bought the car w/110k on it from an old man ( literally ). It was BONE stock until 110k. Car is in good condition for 12 years old, has a few paint blem's here n there. Paint still shines excellent. Car has a miner crack on the plastic part of the dash piece ( about an inch in width ) and a small wear mark on the drivers seat bolster. The interior and exterior clean up VERY nice. It currently shows 124k on the odo but shows more miles than actual because of the 4.10 gear swap ( racks up the miles fast lol especially from a 323 gear )
Car has a fresh castrol edge oil change and fresh mobil 1 75w 90 gear oil. Transmission feels like new. Clutch is great, not a drop oil leaks anywhere, doesnt smoke at all, even when beat'n on it. Car really is a excellent running order.
Some options are leather, traction control, t-tops, monsoon 500 watt stereo, dual power seats w/ power lumbar and power side bolsters, sunshades etc. I have the clean title in hand.
Now for the aftermarket items
-G5X3 cam

-Pacesetter ceramic coated LT 1 3/4
-O/R-Y
-Magnaflow 3.25 catback

-C&R Transmission stg-2( T56 )
-Power Tower shifter
-Motive gear 4.10's

Most parts were installed by shum at bluecat, car was tuned by bluecat and made 385whp and 370wtq before a couple bolt ons. Tuner said its probably around 390-395ish now.

everything works as it should on the car other than the a/c, i just found out it doesnt blow cold. Gonna charge it and hopefully that's the problem. EVERYthing else works, all lights, powerseats, etc etc. No check engine lights or abs lights or anything of the sort. A couple small scratched on the drivers 1/4. I think that is the only issues with the car at all. Its my daily and a very good one at that. Just looking for something else, if you look at my posts i dont keep a car long at all and this one has made it longer than most lol still not bored with it but i might get another ricer lol

I just wasted a 15 hour trip on this car. It was not as stated.
I normally wouldn't make a post like this but the seller knew I was driving from far away and assured me the only thing issue with the car was that the A/C didn't work.
I feel bad saying these things but they are true. I missed a day of work and had about $160 in travel costs just to see a car I could have avoided if the seller didn't photo edit the pictures and actually looked at the tires.
- The car appears to have been T-boned and poorly repaired.
- The passenger side rear quarter panel does not line up correctly and is coming off. The seam where the rear quarter meets the trunk is rusting and coming apart.
- The trunk, rear bumper, passenger door and sideskirt do not line up correctly at all.
- The car seems to have been resprayed with no prepwork, tons of overspray, bubbles, and dips.
- The front bumper was not fully painted, under the headlights is overspray and starting to come off.
- One of the wires going to a fuel injector was bare and hand twisted together.
- The front tires are completely bald. Seller informed me they were good.

To say that the paint is not perfect is a severe understatement. This car is nowhere near as stated in the OP. I travelled over 15 hours today with Mercury to go buy this car. I am highly disappointed in the seller for being so deceptive with this car. I'm quite livid that I wasted an entire day, 15 hours of travel, miles on my car, and money for gas so I'm going to put this as nicely as possible. To start the list of things wrong with the car:
1) Tons of horrible work on the paint. Overspray everywhere, some parts were completely missing paint, a clear, defined line where the clear coat was cut off, which is starting to peel away all over the passenger side of the car. No real prep work was done at all.
2) Not one single body panel on the passenger side lines up correctly. The rear 'halo' is a good half an inch off the rear quarter panel. The side skirts are sticking out far enough to fit a full finger in there. The rear quarter panel and the bumper are VERY mis-aligned. The door JUST makes it without hitting the rear quarter panel.
3) Either the A-pillar is also bent out of shape, or the wrong windshield was installed as it does not sit flush on the passenger side.
3) Rear passenger fender wall was completely cracked, on the inside, running top to bottom.
4) There was at least one exposed wire over a fuel injector. Who knows what other short cuts were taken.
5) The engine was WOBBLING back and forth. Not shaking, wobbling. Pretty sure sign of the motor mounts going although since I didn't see them I cannot verify.
6) A bolt on the driver side strut mount was broken in half, leaving all stress on the single remaining bolt.
7) Seller informed Mercury (I saw the text message myself to verify) that tires were in perfect shape - they needed to get replaced six months ago. They were as bald as could be. They were almost down to the wires. There is no doubt in my mind during the 5 rain storms we encountered on the winding mountain roads that Mercury would have been in an accident - the tires might as well have been slicks.
8) Passenger side seams in the trunk were sloppily installed and are now starting to rust, as the rear quarter isn't aligned right and it's being exposed to water. Driver side seam/welds on the opposite side were cracked.
9) The rear end was howling as well. My z06 made the same noise - that ended very poorly for my rear, and I'm sure this will as well.
Having body shop experience I can almost be 100% positive the car was t-boned pretty badly and very poorly repaired. No doubt in my mind Maaco would have done better work so that is saying something.
This post is not meant to be a personal attack on the OP, but I would like to inform future buyers of what kind of a mess they will be getting into before they travel to go test it out.
