Default Deal or No Deal? gimme an opinion guys

What do you all think about a 99 SS with 35,000 miles, all stock, leather, t-tops, monsoon, black exterior with black interior, 6 speed, chrome ZR1's

Is $14,900 fair or a little high? The car is in excellent condition. A garage queen.

thats not bad. To get what ya want its a good price. I paid that for my ta with 14.5k on the clock. Besides its t tops and 6 speeds drool!! leather! black on black is awesome hehe.. see if he has the t top shades hehe See what his lowest price is, but thats still a good deal to get what ya want and not have to worry about how its been treated.

Sounds like a familiar car!! Its a little pricey though. Great looking car though
get the price down, insurance wont pay you 14,900 for it if you recked it. I'd go 13 maybe 13.5 the highest on a clean 99. ( really insurance will only pay about 12.5 is my guess. 35,000 miles is not like 18,000 or less miles.

Are you going to finance this buy? You can purchase GAP insurance to help cover the cost of the loan if you lose or wreck the car...

yeah i'll probably pay cash, thanks for all the opinions, yeah but does insurance really ever give you what a car is worth?

i'm hoping to get him to go for $14,000 but I don't think he would go to $13,500 but i'll try that too.

sick of waiting, just wanna go pick it up now

I think thats kinda high. I'd offer 13 at the most. Banks, insurance companies, etc. see it as an 8 year old car.

I went and test drove the car.... Its flawless, I expected to see one or two problems but not one thing was wrong except a tiny scratch in the rear taillight

Ended up settling on $14,550 with an extra set of ZR1's

Not too bad.....

agreed black mamba, but it was a small price in my eyes for the exact car i've wanted in pretty much mint garage queen condition with 34,700 miles

thanks for all the opinion
