  • Extremely Rare Gold WS6.........

    This is an extremely rare color offered only the one year (1998), and then combine that with the fact that this is a true WS6 car.....Well you have a "needle in a hay stack".

    Now here's the funny part, most of you know that I've been looking for another TA, and would prefer something kinda special. A few weeks ago I was looking thru Cars.com, and found this exact car located at a Chattanooga,TN dealer. I did some research, and found that it was indeed a true WS6. So I tried desperately to make actual live contact with the lame internet saleperson, but could never get a returned call. (I guess they only have 1 internet person...funny thing is I never told him in all my messages, what car I was interested in, for all he knew I could have been calling in regards to one of their $50K Cadillac's, but still wouldn't return my calls. I hate poor customer service!!) When I did finally get a live person he informed me that they were delivering the car that day.

    Today while checking EBAY, I come across the same damn car, and now it's located in Howell, Mi.. What's the odds of that happening?!?

    So I call the guy, we talk, and I let him know that the two of us were trying to buy the car at the same time, but he won. (he agreed that the internet salesman was less than professional) Well long story short, knowing around about what he paid for it, the new owner is trying to make alittle more $$$ than I'm willing to agree too, but dang it's a nice looking ride.

    I still set an appointment to stop by, and look at it next Friday on our way over for the M&G.

          Eh, I'd rather have a purple WS6 which is about equally rare, especially if you find a Formula WS6.

                  Check his other listing it's for sale too. Hugger Orange w/ white top & white interior. Pretty Rare too, I guess.

                  Out of respect to the guys auction I'm not going to say what the dealer was asking, but I will say if he gets what he wants he will have made out just fine.

                  Craig I did see that Comp T/A....Waayyyy out of my price range!!

                  How many Gold TA's/Firebirds- roughly 255 but a WS6 is even rarer.

                    I've personally seen both the Purple and Gold WS6 cars and they are truly impressive.

                          I've seen the gold in person quite a bit and I think it looks like crap, rare or not I would sell it and buy a different color.

                            That's an awesome looking car. I found this one on Craigslist. Does anyone know how to tell if this is a real Comp T/A ????? it's got a lot of miles and says it needs some stuff in the interior, but if it's a real Comp car it's a good buy.

                              It would be quite a find to pick up the purple or navy blue metallic formula.
