How much to pay

[Crank]

Ok like I said in a previous post I have been out of touch. What would be a good idea what I need to put aside for a 1999 to 2002 WS-6 in Fair to good condition under 100,000 miles

[shady milkman]

anywhere between 11k to 20k...it really all depends on how many miles

why not a 98 model?

Tiger,

I have been kicking the thought around of getting matbe a 98 since eventually I would be changing everything anyway. I guess the thought of not wanting to deal with the computer issue scares me away. But then again why not replace it with a computer from a 99. or iam sure someone makes a aftermarket computer to through in it. Not sure what would be best to do.

[tigersport14]

whats wrong with the computer thats in it now? im curious because im thinking about getting a 98

They are limited in what performance changes that you can do with them. I will probably let someone else answer that in more detail.

I remember when I had my vette and I was on the corvette forum there was a guy that would burn computer chips for the ECM and it depended on what year vette you had to what changes you could make to them. But like I said earlier I know there's gotta be aftermarket computers that you can put in them.

[tigersport14]

yea, there are, and thats one of the first things i would do

[shady milkman]

they are pain in the asses(sP) its weird and i really can't explain it to well but the 98's had a completely diff ECM ..or is it pcm...but i guess they are pain in the asses to tune

they are not that bad!!!! i have a 98 the only problem is idol everything else is tuned at 21st century musclecars.

Im about to pay 20k for an 02 firehawk/m6 with 34k miles. I guess it all depends how much you want it.

It also depends on how much you know about working on cars. If you are a gearhead, then you can compromise the condition and get something that is at a lower price. For me, I don't know much about working on cars, so I would pay more for one in great working condition.

lol yeah same here man. That is why i got rid of my 96z28, it started having fuel pressure problems and i was unable to pinpoint the problem so i sold it

I guess it also depends on if you are buying it from a dealership or privately. I bought mine privately, single owner and he worked for a Ford *shivers* dealership, so he had it serviced once a month or so etc. It had high milage on it but it was all highway miles back and forth to work. But since he worked for a dealership, and meeting him and going to his house, I was able to gather that he took great care of it cause his other vehicles he had were also in great condition.
