Buying '98 Z28 M6 w/ All Options, Need Info
My name is Tyler and I am new to the board.
I am going to be buying my friends 1998 Z28 M6 w/ T-Tops, Leather, Borla Full Catback Exhaust System w/ Dual Quad Tips, 57K Miles, 20% Window Tint, $400 Alpine Deck, and Brand New $1,000s worth of Tires (Can't remember brand) Z-Rated @ 186MPH; all for $14,500.
No matter what it has I am still buying it because I have wanted a Camaro since I was little and now have the perfect chance and I am 19 yrs old.
My question about what it has is how do I tell if its an A4 or not?
Thanks for any and all info and responses. It is greatly appreciated.

I guess you're going to find out fast when you (try) to drive it home. 
Anyway, have fun with your new toy.

Welcome Tyler,
A Z28 is either an M6 (6-speed manual) or an A4 (4-speed automatic). Since you can only have one type of transmission they're mutually exclusive, you can't have an M6 that is also an A4.
One thing to note, is that your friend is bending you over on price. Blue Book value on a '98 Z28 with those miles is right around $12k. I don't see how an Alpine HU, tires, and a Borla catback can raise the value another $2.5k. I'd offer him $13k at the most.

Sorry if the question concerning if it is an A4 or not is a dumbfounded question, but in all honesty I knew when people say M6 they are talking about a 6-speed manual transmission.
On the other hand, I have never heard of when people say A4 that it is an automatic 4-speed tranny. I just assumed A4 was the type of gears, not that it was an automatic.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I searched and searched for the answer and after not finding anyone or anywhere saying A4 ment automatic, I thought I should ask.
By the way, when I checked the blue-book on his car along with a carfax report, the b-b said just about $14K when I looked not even a week ago on both Kelly Blue-Book and NADA Guide.
Last of all, I havn't bought the car yet although I did put it in my sig because as I said in my first post, I am buying it no matter what. He is a good friend and its a good car.
Thanks though for those of you that were polite about my mis-informed question. I most greatly appreciate it.

Anyway, it doesn't matter. If you're happy with the car and the price, that's what matters. Congratulations, they're fun cars to own.
