NBM all the way. Plus, on the 01 you get the ls6 intake, updated exhaust manifolds, and black interior. however, with the $$ you can save by buying the 00, you can easily buy an ls6 intake and lt headers to make up for the difference
none the less, both look like they're in great shape. take a look at both and see which one is better in person
Both are overpriced... 10 grand is the max value for those cars imo
Good luck with that. I would have bought that NBM in a heartbeat for $10,000. I paid $10,000 after TTL(don't forget to add that to your price) for my 90k car and that was cheap compared to all the other shit. Yeah those cars may only be worth $10k, but if everyone wants $13k, what are you gonna do?
I would go NBM, white is so plain and everybody has a white car.

Surely you didn't post for advice on the radio or the colour of the paint.
The 01 blue one is the better value BY FAR from the info in the ads without checking the cars closely in person.
The 00 white was certainly owned by a younger guy that beat the piss out of it. The 01 blue looks like an unmolested original. Also, the 01 has many mechanical engine improvments over the 00 (LS6 intake, no EGR, stronger rod bolts, LS6 clutch).
On a minor note, those wheels on that 01 are stock. This car was probably built before Dec 00, after which the 01 cars started to use the 02 WS6 style wheels.
If the 01 blue one checks out for Carfax and hoist inspection, this choice is a no brainer.
^^^ 2nd
i like the white. but it looks like sound system and brakes were installed professionally because he doesn't even have a lid (easy mod). white car guy also looks like a tool with the Trans am logo on windshield.
two types of 30 year olds- ones who buy sports car to feel young and beat them (white) and other who buys one because now he has the money ( Blue)
The blue car looks like it was taken care of someone who doesnt know cars because most car people would spend the extra $$ and upgrade the tire size
Blue is the Safe investment IMO
i picked up a 99 z28 one owner he was 30 when he bought it so he babied it.

The 01 has the ls6 intake but has a smaller cam the the earlier models with the ls1 intakes. I was under the impression they put a smaller cam with the ls6 intake mani to try and keep the horsepower the same. Somebody correct me if im wrong.
which one is better? well minor scratches in the paint will not show up as much.

it was to save money in ditching the EGR and keeping reduced emissions. but yeah, the intake manifold made up for it.
with the same manifolds as the 01, the 00 will be a faster car with the more aggressive stock cam.
way to expensive id look further away from you i saw a guy get a 2001 or 02 camaro with 29k for less than 10k you can find better deals in the lsx classfieds and why not help out another tech member??

What i would do is wait for a better deal... These cars arent so rare and there is nothing special about them... Im also saying that 13K is waaaaay to steep for a high mileage 8-9 year old car with ~70K on the clock
13K would suit a car with ~50K miles

who pays asking price?
all this time, i'm sure dozens of used car dealerships are probably bombarding the sellers with lowball offers and harassment about how the cars are worthless.
once the sellers get reasonable offers from serious private buyers, they're probably happy to compromise.
A lil update on this thread. I went to go look at and drive the Navy blue 01 and it was a real nice car. Only mod was a Borla Catback which sounded good. It is owned by a guy in his 50s and he bought it 3 years ago for $17,500. Since then he has put less than 2,000 miles on it while putting in new brakes, a clutch, and battery. It was clean inside and out and I really liked it. The guy selling the white ws6 has yet to answer his email or phone so hes probably shit out of luck. The only negative on the NBM WS6 is that the service engine soon light is on. Thy guy said he would have it scanned to see whats up.
