Flyin to OH to pick up this car! Take a look and let me know what you think!
Hey guys my name is Matt and I'm from Piscataway. I currently own a 04 Subaru STI that I am getting rid of. Before I parted it out it had 380 AWHP and 401 AWTQ. The payments are too high so I decided that it would be in my best interest to sell it.
Anyway I have always loved Trans Ams and I found this one but it was a little out of my price range so I got in touch with him and the final deal is for $7000 and I have to fly out there and pick it up tomorrow.
Let me know what you think!!!

I researched his previous threads and he originally wanted $11000 for the car.
Thanks for looking!

I know I have been watching the weather by the hour... I am used to AWD so I'm just going to take it slow and feel the car out.

Nice car, first mods....Intake Manifold and lid. It seems the guy demodded the car a little before putting it forsale because he's choking that cam big time. Get atleast an LS6 intake manifold and slp lid for the car. I know there is an slp lid forsale in the classifieds for $50.

Thanks guys... I don't know too much about these cars yet but I thought it was strange that the air box was kept... I'll definitely look into getting that lid.

someone step up who has a 2000, but to me, the HVAC controls look like theyre out of a camaro. my 02 TA doesnt look anything like that. i could be wrong, but im fairly certain they didnt change the knobs/font from 2000 to 2002.
not a big deal, maybe he/original owner liked that style more, but if its not stock, you might wonder why.

Those are Camaro HVAC knobs. I had the same in my car, a 2000 Formula where one knob broke and someone sent me a whole set for cheap. They fit and honestly I like them much better. Good deal on the car, enjoy.

Another thing i question, is why does the car look like it's at a dealer with a temp tag that expired on 11/5/08? I thought this is from a private seller.

Welcome!
A few things I see with the car; the A/C compressor isn't there, and whats the point of having a push button ignition when the car wont start unless the clutch is engaged? And AIR and EGR are required in NJ so if you plan on getting it inspected you'll need to replace them. And find out how many miles are on the motor he swapped in, as well as the trans.
