    I did a search and couldn't find much. I am trying to find out the value of a 2002 s281 Saleen. and find out if its legit, I think its a little fishy but I don't know the facts. He says it is #741. it is supercharged. he says it is a 5 speed, but to my knowledge I thought that these were 6 speeds.

    guy is asking 4,000 dollars but has bad front end damage

    4k? hmmm....


    If you can get the VIN for it, you can call Saleen and get verification it's genuine or not. I think that'd be the first step.

    Unsure about the 5/6 speed though. I've got a '99 w/5-speed.

    Yes they came in a 5 speed.

    Do you have the last 3+ of the VIN?

    S281 Supercharged cars had the stock Ford 5-speed gearbox as standard equipment. Only the Extreme cars had the upgraded 6-speed standard.

    If you're shopping, use the materials here: Saleen Owners and Enthusiasts Club - SOEC - Vehicle Specification Sheets

    Value depends a lot on condition and equipment (read that as rarity).

    Call 800-888-8945 option 2 at Saleen with the last 8 digits of the VIN and they can verify it and give you an idea as to its equipment.

    Check New Car Prices, Used Car Values, New Car Reviews & Car Buying Guides - NADAguides.com Official Site for used car prices of Saleen coupes... use it as a reference. Don't forget the market is soft right now.

    Stage3 Motorsports should have most of the unique fascia panels you'll need.
