should i buy this ws6

**Fox Body** · 05-05-2009, 04:49 PM

Went to look at a ws6 today....my 95 deville blew up....i have a couple general questions about what to look for and such when buying one of these cars and was also wondering what you guys think it would be worth.

Its a 99 black ws6 with c6 wheels but mostly bone stock other wise with 75,000 miles on it.....the transmission was rebuilt about 15000 miles ago because he said the OD went out on it....when rolling along in D and you gear down to first it makes a pretty ruff noise....i asked the guy about it and he said he was pretty sure it was just the link being too tight or something...does this sound legit???...

did find some mold under the back hatch where the t tops go and he said the car had been sitting for sale for a while and he acted pretty surprised when he saw it....it needs an O2 sensor replaced so the check engine light is on.....the driver side light doesnt pop all the way up due to a damaged gear....and it made a weird grinding noise when i got it a little sideways but i think that was just due to the back tires rubbing....

anyway so what do you guys think its worth and what do you think about the tranny problem....he is askin 8500 for it but he will come off of that a little

Could probably find a better one. Check the codes to make sure WS6.

what all body parts make it a ws6....hood? and what else....it has a ws6 badge but my roommate swore he saw where it said transam by the key hole for the hatch

Stiffer suspension as well makes a WS6.

**Fox Body** · 05-05-2009, 05:30 PM

ok let me ask something.....isnt the ws6 compared with the camaro ss and then the transam model compared to the z28.....so if it says transam on it like i said does that mean its not a ws6

**waldo** · 05-05-2009, 05:49 PM

check for the ws6 code on the door.

**Moonscar** · 05-05-2009, 05:52 PM

On the back of the car it should say trans am. the ws6 is just an additional package to the trans am. (hood, suspension) you could use the vin number to find out if it's a real ws6

**01 LS1 Formula** · 05-05-2009, 05:57 PM

if you look on the door in the id numbers there it should say ws6, thats another way you can tell if its a ws6 or not

**Fox Body** · 05-05-2009, 06:00 PM

ok i see....thanks for the info guys....what do you guys think it would be worth most likely

Looks like a nice car, offer him 8 even and call it a day. If it is in REAL good condition thats a good deal.

Repost my response from your thread in the general section

I shopped for 3 months before I found my 98' T/A. Paid $6700, had 106k miles on it, but was in far better condition than the one you described. Previous owner fixed the lights, other than that nothing wrong except she was stock, no WS6. In the long run, I think I am better off, because I want to do most of the mods myself.....

**Fox Body** · 05-06-2009, 09:24 AM

it was actually my roommate that was lookin at buyin it and evidently he called the guy today and got it for 7500

**BLACKHAWK 958** · 05-06-2009, 09:28 AM

Take it for a test drive and get it up to your legal highway speed..it should run strong!

**Fox Body** · 05-06-2009, 09:36 AM

yeah we test drove it already....it was fast but i was expecting a lil more....its barely faster than his 95 caddy deville....but that wasnt a normal Cadillac

**BLACKHAWK 958** · 05-06-2009, 10:02 AM

it should have smoked the 95 caddy, sounds like it's ready for a tune up!

True but if they were just going of the butt dyno those northstar 300hp 300trq engines feel pretty stout from a roll.

o2's are what makes it lag the seller should fix that shit if he ever hopes to sell it.

**Fox Body** · 05-06-2009, 11:02 AM
