1998 Trans Am, mechanically perfect - lot of pics Time to sell my daily driver...
1998 Trans Am
LS1
Auto tranny
3.23 gear
Power everything, grey leather interior, chrome rims, Monsoon stereo system with CD changer and tape player and buttons on the steering wheel, T-tops, cruise control, front airbags. I believe it has every option except traction control.
145k miles
Located in Northwest Ohio
$5,000 firm
About the car:
-I bought the car in Sept 2005 with only 36k miles on it. I drove it for work ever since and travel all over the eastern and central U.S. Needless to say, this car has almost all highway miles.
-This car has been very reliable and continues to be. It is mechanically perfect, engine runs smooth and strong, tranny is in excellent shape, etc.
-I had Valentine Performance put on the new shocks and replace a ball joint a couple months ago. He went over the rest of the suspension and said it was solid.
-I had the tranny fluid changed a few months ago and the guys at the shop couldn't believe how well the tranny shifted and how good of shape it is in.
-Just had a tune up this past winter.
-Tires are about a couple years old and still have a lot of tread left. They are Bridgestone Potenza 009's, a very good all-season tire.
-The car is completely stock except for a "carbon fiber look" airlid w/ K&N filter and a brand new set of Sam Strano Spec Bilstein shocks and catch can. If you are on ls1tech, you know these shocks are the ones to have on a daily driver for performance, comfort, and reliability. They were $435 plus shipping and install, these are brand new. http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=21&ModelID=8
-Interior is in EXCELLENT condition.
Issues with the car:
While the car is mechanically solid, it does have some flaws, it is 11 years old w/ 145k miles. Here are the issues:
-Passenger door skin is starting to come loose, some JB Weld should fix it.
-Passenger power lock does not work, but you can lock and unlock it by hand inside and with key outside.
-Rims are chrome and starting to fade and flake.
-Some normal wear and tear on the paint, small chips, some scratches, a couple of dings by the doors.
-Driver side headlight motor makes noise when locking doors with keyfob, but still functions properly.
I believe that is everything. If you have questions, let me know. Thanks and here are some pics I took today (5/25/09):
