Question need help pricing a WS6

not sure what to sell this car for:

2001 WS6 Black M6
BUILT M6
Moser 12-bolt
TSP 383 with Procharger
13,xxx miles


there's more to the story obviously, but given that information and consider it a clean, nearly flawless car, what is it worth? i was thinking about asking $25K obo....? i know what book value is, i know how much in mods it has, and i know what the LSx market is like. spare me the banter please, just curious what you guys think this car is worth and what YOU would sell it for.

thanks!

For my 01 ws6 w/ 34k miles i payed 14,2xx. For yours I would be asking 20k. Throw it on ebay. Most people pay a lot of money for a car like that with those kind of mods. Being on 13k miles is a major plus! I'm selling 98-01 ws6 wheels on ebay right now. Couldn't even get a bite for what I was asking on here 700 obo plus shipping. 3 days left and they are at 810.

Its true.. selling a car to the knowledgeable market for that car, is like selling deer meat to a hunter.

I agree 20k is reasonable for the mileage and mods.

well i now must disagree....

found out the MOTOR has 13K on it, the car shows 134,000ish... $16K anyone? it's in great shape other than the mileage. i may not be selling the car now. you guys think it's worth that much?

Big diff between how much you think it's worth and how much someone will pay for it.

I'm confused, you are selling your car, thought it had 13k on it but it has 134k on it? What am I missing here?

we were told the car had 13K on it when we told them to deliver it to us, but when it arrived, the CAR had 134K on it and 13K on the new motor.

Not accusing you of anything, but your story sounds fishy. You bought a 13k miles car sight unseen and had it delivered. When it got there and had 134 on it, you didn't bring the car back? Didn't sue him for fraud or whatever? It doesn't make any sense. Not that it needs to by any means, but it just doesnt' add up to me. And you started the thread saying you were selling a 13k mile car....Yeah it really doesn't make any sense to me at all, but maybe it's just me.

my buddy is a dealer. he has "a guy" that usually finds good deals on **** across the country. he called about this car and we said buy it. when it arrived, the MOTOR had 13K on it, and the car's odometer read 134K if i remember.

it wasn't as described like we thought it was back when i made this post. my friend that's a dealer didn't want the car, but now i may buy it anyway.

i agree is does sound fishy, but the car is pretty nice, i'm just waiting for it to show up at my house so i can get a good look at it. if it's not something I would buy, i'm sending it back to Texas.

yeah, it really turned out to be a pretty shitty deal. it was a money making oppotunity at the time, now i think i just want to buy the car and see if i can get more than what i pay for it, or get something cool in trade like a motorcycle + cash. i've got a deal i'm working on right now with a guy not too far from where i live, but i don't know if i can make it work for both of us.

i don't want to rape someone when/if i sell the car (IF i buy it), i just want to come out ahead of where i am finanicially. i have some unsecured debt i'd like to get rid of so i can go on with building the motor for my SS....i'm in it pretty deep

It doesn't matter if the car and motor has 134k miles or if it has a new motor. Unless you find someone that really wants it, it is only worth blue book.

i'm aware of this. that's why i'm inquiring what people on here would pay for a car like this. you gotta think, the car books for ~$10K + a TSP 383 + a procharger + Moser 12-bolt + Textralia clutch & built tranny + BMR EVERYTHING....i know it is what it is, but ****...it's gotta be worth $15K to SOMEONE. it's one-owner with a clean carfax. i paid $18K for my SS, granted it had ~25K on it, but it was modded...now it's REALLY modded and broke...


i don't want to turn this into a "for-sale" thread, because that's not what it is, but i would like to find a buyer for the car before i actually buy it. i'm waiting for it to show up at my house so i CAN put up a for-sale thread. i just want to see what all you "experts" think it's worth, NOT WHAT YOU WOULD PAY, but what you think someone who's looking for a car like this would pay. we all know there are a TON of people that would kill for a procharged 383 WS6...mileage be damned.

How do you know it has 13K on the motor? Do you have all the new engine receipts? Now knowing that it has 134K miles on body I would say $12K max.

yeah, actually this car is VERY well documented. the owner took VERY good care of it and kept every single piece of paper pertaining to the car.
