Title: 2000 TransAm
Post by: 737driver on April 03, 2022, 09:13:26 PM: This weekend I ended up buying a 2000 TransAm. I saw it at Cars and Coffee in Las Vegas and noticed a for sale sign on it. I took a look at it and was really impressed with it.
It is a WS6 , Ram Air , 6 speed manual with T tops. It only has 21,100 miles and was really well taken care of. The seller had all the original paperwork, manuals and pretty much everything it came from the dealership. I couldn’t ask for a cleaner car either.
I chatted with the owner and told him I was very interested. Later that morning we met up and I took it for a drive. I really loved every bit about it. So I made an offer and we came to a pretty good deal. Went to the bank, signed some paperwork for the bill of sale and title. I took the long way home and if I could I would have kept driving to an empty tank.
I am really impressed with the performance of the 4th Gen and I am so happy with it so far. Unfortunately, I am going to be away from home for a few weeks due for training with work.
Anyhow, I can’t wait to get back home and get it registered and start driving it!
Jim

I LOVE my '73 T/A (clone). But I enjoy driving my '01 Formula even more.

Oh, no need to mention that your car has T-tops - ALL the '98-'02 Trans Ams either were convertibles or had T-tops. Only way to get a non T-top LS1 Firebird, was to order a Fomula. Less than 400 "hardtop" (no T-top) '98-'01 Formulas were made (none in '02). Here is pic of mine. I bought it last year with just 29k on the odometer.

Never was a fan of computerized cars, but when these came out, I told the Mrs., "I'm gunna own that car....in about 20 yrs".
And here we are, 20 yrs later, and I still can't afford them. With a stick shift, they're still 20-30K, depending.
this car is phenomenal. I would be like a kid at Christmas, waiting to get home to it. Super sweet.

Even better as neither of her kids could drive a stick! :lol:

She did that on purpose, as with the 2004 GTO.
