Looking at a used 2002 Pontiac Firebird...any common technical problems

[ViceKnightTA]

I should be checking for? So I saw an ad around my area for a black 2002 firebird. I was gonna check it out sometime this week.

I was wondering if there were any current owners I could rely on to let me know some of the common problems I should be checking out for before I buy it? (no inexperienced-imported-car-biased ricer jerks plz, just honest input from mechanical/electrical side)

What problems do I want to look out for when I test-drive it?
The 2002 car has about 106k miles on it already and he is selling it for exactly 4k

Depending on the engine they are pretty trouble free ..
and should not have any major issues until well over the 150K range if taken care of ..
the issues that usually come up are intake leaks and some minor drivetrain issues,
but nothing normal maintenance would not take care of ..
