Going to look at a 2002 ws6..

[Italian Stallion]

Im going to check out a 2002 ws6 this upcoming week. It has 70k miles, hott cams, kooks headers with full exhaust, slp intake, performance chip, and hurst shifter. the odd part is he only wants $10,000 for it? seems like maybe its too good to be true? exterior looks extremely clean also. is there anything i should be weary of when checking out this car? thanks, Mike.

[NastyEllEssWon]

if the guy himself described it as having ''hot cams and performance chip'' i wouldnt waste my time.

well he actually said, "hot cam" i accidentally typed s. but why's that?

[grazi]

Hott cams. Maybe it's an lt5

[WSex]

i dont think ill ever buy a worked on car ever again. ever...

[Italian Stallion]

i dont think ill ever buy a worked on car ever again. ever...

why? ***** work?

[B4C]

Lol chipped ls1. Run, run far.

[Italian Stallion]

starting to think this car isnt good...

[Italian Stallion]

also said he thinks it might have previously been stroked?

[NastyEllEssWon]

i dont make it a habit to buy cars with work done to them. even more so when the owner of the car with work done to it has no idea what kind of work was done to it.

thats exactly what im worried about.

[sweetbmxrider]

That price seems kinda high anyways but it is a ws6. Still, an internally modded car that has an owner with little knowledge of what is/was done would make me walk away.

well i mean when i kbb it, it was like 12k in good condition. so im not really sure what to think lol

[sweetbmxrider]

I would check NADA too, still its a modded car with an owner that doesn't seem to know much. Spend your money wisely.

hell theres no guarantee that the car is even a real ws6 at this point. it could just be a trans am with a hood and some work done to it...or it could just be a car with exhaust and the guy is adding those things on as ''bait'' to entice people to buying the car without being able to ''confirm'' the mods because you cant ''see'' them :D

[LTb1ow]

I say go for it, you only live once.

wont the vin be able to confirm its a ws6? or doesnt it say it on the sticker in the door? thatd be really ****** to find out if that was true :shock:

[madness410]

I say go for it, you only live once.

this is probably the best advice you will get out of all of your replies.

on a more serious note...not saying this is the case here but be weary of flood damaged cars with sandy only being a few months back I could see some of those cars hitting the market up here. just a suggestion if you think the price is so low.

[Lt1_8U]

Just make sure the muffler bearings are good.

Look over the car well. As stated before, the owner seems clueless. I looked at a car that was "built well" and it had two different heads on it.:bertstare:

youd be able to tell through the rpo code on the drivers door.

I honestly didn't even think of that. The car is located in central jersey but still could've just been moved.

I definitely will and I think I'll be having a family friend mechanic come with me also now. As for being "built" I hope that isn't the case :facepalm:

Well, I sold a true SS for $9k 2 years ago. It was clean and had a full cammed and bolt on LS6 crate engine. One owner, all documented, receipts, pictures dyno sheet etc etc. The kid got a great deal and I didn't misrepresent the car in any way. I'm just saying that there are good deals out there even with modded cars. You just need to know who to trust and they need to be able to back it up.

[NHRABill]

(Yup its stroked all right I paid 10 grand to have it done but know nothing about it where it was done or what parts used) :facepalm: Most car guys have heard this a few times, I know I have.

Its a different story if the seller can produce receipts and knows the car by telling you who did the work , when and what parts were used. When i sell a car (and I do a couple a year) I have the paperwork handy at time of sale.

Make it easy on yourself I will sell ya my 94 Z28 Vert save me on paying storage for it. Lightly modified with all paperwork :) I miss having a tahoe :|

[Featherburner]

If it has custom paint it's a dead giveaway that there is something wrong with it. Just be leery of custom paint.

[WSex]

njfboa meet at the owners house to carefully inspect the 02ws6.

[sweetbmxrider]

Not if you're a cat!

Oh god, there is :facepalm:

[BonzoHansen]

If you buy this car you're an idiot lol

Never pay more for 'mods'

[WildBillyT]

Run away.

You don't know if the car is stroked? That's not something you just casually install.

[Blackbirdws6]

It doesn't hurt to look at the car. It's not like you will be forced to buy it. If certain things appear iffy, you just walk away.

[Jersey Mike]

This. I don't get all the dramatics. Just look at it yourself. The current owner may have just bought the car from an enthusiast who modded it, and just be talking out of his ass right now, incorporating big words he's heard about cars to sound like a car guy. He may just have a case of "Better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt" -itis.


Check it out. Look it over. Use your own discretion, and sleep on it.

[Featherburner]

Oh god, there is :facepalm:I was just busting stones. I'm guessing this is the car? LOL!

This is a sweet 2002 trans am ws6 very fast with only 70k miles, car has custom paint, custom exhaust off kooks headers, hot cams, Hurst shifter, slp ram air intake, T-tops, leather, traction control, air bags. Car is very clean and runs great. 908-380-6437

[BullittSVT]

I don't understand why people put "very fast" for cars, especially V8 F-bodys. YES, I KNOW ITS FAST THATS WHY I WANT ONE.

and it especially upsets me when slow cars are advertised as fast, my dumbass cousin said her stock Scion TC is fast, i lol'd

[sweetbmxrider]

It has air bags!!!!

[Mike]

No ws6 badge.

[Jersey Mike]

No ws6 badge.

Take a knowledgeable friend and together look it over with a fine-tooth comb. This guy either was lied to when he bought the car, or is piecing together random crap he picked up when searching eBay/Google. Either way, if you want to get the truth, you'll have to do it yourself, in person.

[Italian Stallion]

im thinking maybe i could just work the heads, cam, and converter on my car now.. what do you think hp id be at?

[Mike]

im thinking maybe i could just work the heads, cam, and converter on my car now.. what do you think hp id be at?

One million at the wheels.

Without any info on What cam. What heads. What everything else. Or heck even what car you are talking about no one can guess

[WildBillyT]

im thinking maybe i could just work the heads, cam, and converter on my car now.. what do you think hp id be at?

Depends on parts. LT1? LE1? LE2? Doug E Fresh?

[LTb1ow]

im thinking maybe i could just work the heads, cam, and converter on my car now.. what do you think hp id be at?

All of it.

[Dudbird113]

Lol like how the flames exit the vents on the fenders like its on some juice. Must have gotten that paint scheme from fast n furious.

[WSex]

on the drivers door rea the rpo codes. if authentic ws6 will say ws6

[Italian Stallion]

All of it.

what lol

[LTb1ow]

Exactly

[Italian Stallion]

Exactly

i was thinking the same thing

[Squirrel]

[B4C]

Ew. Is he willing to take more money off for those awful wheels and flames?
There are better deals out there

Both of those are just as scary. One needs at least a bumper and paint. And the other is a ta with a formula bumper

[LTb1ow]

But... countless compliments on it!

[coolmanvette75]

If I'm not mistaken, that 2nd car is his...Lol

[deadtrend1]

If I'm not mistaken, that 2nd car is his...Lol

actually ......

you may be onto something ..... lol

[Lt1_8U]

Lol. In your add you forgot to mention it has the corvette engine

[B4C]

Both of those are just as scary. One needs at least a bumper and paint. And the other is a ta with a formula bumper

Still less shady then the one he wants to look at sounds. With the money he would save he could fix it up and have a decent car.

[B4C]

If I'm not mistaken, that 2nd car is his...Lol

That would explain the little italian flag on the bumper :rofl:

Less shady? One is an lt1 car and doesn't mention the nose swap

[B4C]

Im talking about the one with the cracked bumper. Seems like a decent car and it doesnt seem like the seller is making it out to be something its not.

Here is my Trans am. Car has TTops it's auto with 93k, has aftermarket cold air intake, torque thrust rims, slp exhaust, strut bar, tune, and 5% tint. Car mechanically runs awesome. I've received countless compliments on it. Full leather interior. Give me a call or shoot me a text, thanks Mike 862 268 2203

Wow, you southerners are a disgustingly sketchy bunch. 2 cases in 2 weeks? No wonder you have so many problems; questionable behavior is the norm down there, huh?

whats so scary about that lol? looks alot better than the origional hood and bumper.

[deadtrend1]

:facepalm:

[coolmanvette75]

The fact that you don't mention the year of the car, or the fact that it is an LT1. Nobody reading that will read your mind that the bumper was swapped. They will come and look at the car, and want to shoot you when they realize that it isnt an LS car...

[grazi]

If I'm not mistaken, that 2nd car is his...Lol

That's hilarious. I looked at that car and was thinking" that car looks familiar, I wonder if he's on the FBOA?" Hagaha

yup and especially if theyre coming from a distance to come look at it or bringing a trailer...he might expect to shell out some gas money to calm down some mad customers :D

[zraffz]

Seen way too many cars with a "small cam" and "blah blah blah motor work" that in fact had nothing more than bolt ons.

[Slow-V6]

Still less shady then the one he wants to look at sounds. With the money he would save he could fix it up and have a decent car.

Less Shaddy! How did you buy your car Mike? Was it less shady then this deal?

Everytime you buy a used car you are taking a chance.

I say go for it for like 7000 if its a regular T/A and 8000 if its a WS6. If it runs good and feels good then who cares what cam is in it? All that matters is that you like it...


Bottom line is its the last the of the T/A and there will probably never be another one made. If its a real WS6 then it does have value especially down the road..
