Default 2000 Firebird Ws6

There's a local dealer here who has one for $7,500

Not sure about the vehicle worth - as I'm a former import guy.

But it has 116k miles on it. It needs some work also --- body is in great condition - Just has a few kins on the interior. Also needs a new wheel - i noticed it was bent.

Is this a good price, or should I just move on?

Has t-top

For that price, check it to make sure it's not a hooded V6.

Way too cheap for a WS6 from a DEALER. Depending on your area.

if it's actually a ws6, that's a steal. even with the bent wheel.

yep, its def a WS6. I test drove it and everything.

It pulls hard, its an A4.

I test drove the hell out of it --- but it was really low on gas so I couldn't do too much.

I did take it on the highway though. It needs a maf sensor - its throwing a code.

It was my first time driving one.

What is the RPO code?

Will it actually say "RPO:XXXXXXXX"

And how would I know if its a real Ws6 by the code?

It will have a white lable with a bunch of 3 letter codes on it. If its a real WS6 it will have "WS6" listed in the codes.

That price is not that amazing for a 2000 with 116,000 miles. In fact I think its about right. There is a 2000 for sale with the 109,000 for $8000 OBO. If I dont get the Firehawk I am looking at this weekend I am going to offer him $6500 cash for it and see if he bites. You can never have too many Firebirds.

hahaha you are so lucky^

near me f-bodies are insanely overpriced, so it sounds pretty good to me. everyone once in a while you'll find a deal but most cars with ~115k miles still go for 9 or 10.

Same.... WS6s go for a mint. 85k miles sells for 16 grand ! Sell all your f-bodies in jersey than by fresh new ones elsewhere lol!


As for that car, the price sounds about right for the miles, but you can def find one in the proper working order. Don't buy something you have to fix and put more money into.

Yea, the RPO codes are 3 digit alphanumeric codes. LT1 and LS1 are both the RPOs for the engines, that will have LS1, and WS6 will as well if it's legit.

They're Overpriced here too so $7500 would be pretty good! I got mine for $4000 off a repo lot, but had to put a Trans and rear-end in it. A friend re-built the trans for $1500 and another friend had a rearend he sold me for $100. I've got another $200 in self-done bodywork refinishing the bumpers and appearance things, and that's all for me so far. Run a carfax on the VIN. At over 100K miles, it's worth paying for the report. If it looks clean, BUY BUY BUY!!!
