ok there is this mint 2001 ws6 Transam 6 speed by my house. They want 25k for it and it has 17k miles. Now i drove the car and its a dream, im not use to the extra gear yet but in due time i will learn. Now the guy thinks with going 72 months i can keep my payments around 350 a month. Im still alittle worried about insurance and how good of a deal the car is. I'm not in a rush to pick up something yet.

The dealership is in Tarpon Springs its called Capital One auto sales. You cant miss the car its dark blue with stock chrome rims there is another WS6 there too, a black auto with zr1 rims on it. I love the rims on the other WS6 alot better then the chrome stockers.

Im alittle lost by what to do now, i know i want a LS1 and i want a 6 speed but how much should i spend is the next step. SS or WS6...... how much would a 2001 M6 SS run you with around 20k miles or so? Im sorry for the confusion but if you know me you would know how many times i have fucked up buying something for a car or a car and payed way to much for it.

$25K is KBB retail. They probably got the car for $20K or less at auction so see if you can get him to let you have it for $23k.

 

Get a quote first on insurance 1 total your bills and see if it's realistic, i do insurance and I have heard grown men almost cry when they get there rates!

 

i know thats why i might wait intill i turn 25, i have alittle more then a year and half if i wait. That can give me time to save but i have the i wants right now lol. Im going to call them here shortly and find out how bad its going to be.

They do have alot of nice cars there, most in mint condition

 

Does that place have a website? Im also thinking of getting a T/A but I dont know much about the car yet, nor do I have enough money at this time.

 

T/A's are a great looking car, but IMO they are way overpriced. I looked around for a used LS1 T/A not too long ago and it was shocking to find out how expensive they were, seeing that you could get a nice used LS1 SS for around 15 or less easy. If it's F-body speed you're after I would go with the SS, it's fast for less money. It still has clean good looks as well. If you want to look mean as hell, I would go with the T/A. I decided to not go with a T/A and just wait a year or two for the car that I really want, a 'Vette. As far as a loan goes, I would never reccomend to anyone to get a loan that length on a car, you don't know what you will like in 6 years. You will also run out of warranty and still have a monthly payment. Personally I would recommend 3-4 years tops, after that you are buying more car than you can afford. F-bodies aren't cheap cars to maintain, they do take some TLC. The rewards far outweigh the costs though, so I know you'll love either one you decide on.
