Hi all, I am considering buying an fbod in the near future. I just had a few questions for all of you before I go off to look at a few cars. BTW I'm looking for a 99-02 WS6 6-speed.
1) Does anybody have any pics of the Midnight blue? I've never seen one in person but the few pics I've seen, it looks nice. I thought I was sold on black but I may give it some thought if I could see some other pics. Not to mention it could also help broaden my search and turn up some more cars.
2) What are some things I should look for when looking at one or things I should ask the seller? One of the cars that I'm considering is about 5 hours away and I want to be sure this is the car I want before I make the journey.
3) How many miles is considered to many on these cars? The car I was mentioning above has 51,000. I shouldn't have any problems with much mileage but when do they start having problems? For example, when does the engine/transmission need a rebuild? I put about 15-20k miles ona car a year.
4) What price would you consider fair for the car I was mentioning above? The guy wants almost 4k more than the blue book value!
There's no way I'm paying him that, but maybe if I could talk him down I would pay 500-1000 more than book if the car is in very good shape and considering it's the exact one I want.
Thanks guys and keep up the good work on the forum.
