What type of driving habits did the prev. owner have? I am always a little weary of buying a car from someone who drives like me . And you know...people who mod their cars tend to drive like me.

Just a thought. Otherwise it seems like a good ride, and a fellow '95 trans am-er like myself would love to have another buddy on the forum.

Well it has low miles,take it for a long drive and see what you think.You have the advantage of owning a 4th gen so you know what to look for and always try to beat them down on the price

you might get less traction w/those wheels, but not TOO much diff.
