Stock... 172000 miles.

Needs both door panels replaced, exterior trim panels both sides, paint job is a 7.5 of 10, black on black, top is in good condition I think.

quick replieswould be awesome.

Nada showing up around $6500 - $8500...
I offered the seller $7k and he accepted.

$7000 is about $1000 too high IMHO. WAY to many miles!

I just put this car up for sale. Not sure the condition comparing to what you saw, but I feel like 01-02 ws6 vert in almost any running condition is worth 6-10. These are low number cars and despite their current rarity there was only 800-1000 made per year- cant be many left, gonna definitely be collectable soon. Sadly that might make it undesirable as something to buy for most F-body shoppers but that's the car.

I sold a T-Top 01 WS6 with 115, 000 miles and a brand new paint job for $7500 THREE YEARS AGO. I wouldn't pay $7000 for this car. Yeah its not a convertible but it had far fewer miles. That cars pushing 200k miles.

As your happy with the deal is all that matters. The convertables are not as common here and worth more. Good luck with your purchase.

I'll agree with this and wish the OP the best of luck, but in my gut I'm with 18wheelsofsteel on this. That's a LOT OF MILES to lay out that kind of $$.

Im glad you agree. My daily driver is s 2001 Trans Am convertible with 106k miles (not a WS6 but even "rarer"if you check production #s) bone stock and good condition. But $7000 would be near top dollar on my car IMHO. Yes its not a WS6 but a 70k mileage difference is huge!

We own the same 'vert but I just hit 33k miles on mine. Yes, ours is extremely low as far as production numbers. I believe only 396 non-WS6 2001 Trans Am 'verts were built. Unless your car is in rough shape you are underestimating the value. You stated that it is in 'good condition' which would make your car a $9,000 - $10,000 car. Convertibles bring a bit more $$$ especially if stock and non-abused. If not, then you might be closer to $8,000.

Sorry OP, didn't mean to get side-tracked.

I appreciate the responses fellas. I had told the seller $7k was the most I'd offer for the car and he agreed to my max offer but I researched some parts it needs and almost totaling $800 already in replacement cost. If he doesn't agree to a $6k offer, then I'll pass cus I know I'm overpaying if I pay $7k and taking his car problems along.

Very smart! I thought perhaps it was a done deal. The potential of this car becoming a future 'money pit' is very possible. The mileage is just too much and the normal course of repairs is going to be quite expensive and time consuming for this car. Things just break with that mileage. No avoiding it. I would hate to see any potential buyer of our beloved F-bodies get a poor ownership experience.
