Default OK so here is what I bought...

Let the poking and prodding begin!

Never, ever thought I would end up with a car like this but the more I thought about it I figured what the hell!

2000 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 with a 6-speed. Every single option that was available that year is on this car. 1 owner and the MSRP was $32,600.
Now here is the catch, it only has 538 miles on it!
The guy bought it new in 2000 and drove it maybe 100 miles or so that year. Did not renew the plates again till 2010 drove it a few miles that year then parked it. He would start the car, get it up to operating temp and take it around his neighborhood 2-3 times a year. Kept it in a heated and air conditioned garage.
Lots of documentation and the Carfax I ran matched his story as far as the registration goes.
I bought the car for less than half the original price.
I now have what is basically a new 13 year old car, it has not a single dent or scratch anywhere, the interior looks and smells like new.
I drove it 65 miles home and it was competely rattle free and smooth as silk.
Now I like old cars but as I get older smooth factory muscle like this seems more appealing. There are hundreds of bolt on performance parts for the LS1 along with tons of suspension mods you can do.
Now the wife made me promise to keep it at least a year but I might hang onto this one just a little longer.
