Default 1999 Trans Am, 37k miles

Not very serious about selling this as i just picked it up about 6 months ago. But i've been struggling with money lately and must prepare myself if i have to. IF i was crazy enough to get rid of this beauty, what are your guys opinions on a price? I'm normally pretty good at this but wanted to get a second opinion. I have a number in my head but would like to get your guy's ideas as well. Here's a link to some pics of the car.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/17181205-post32.html

Details are as follows:
-1999 T/A
-6spd
-37,6xx miles (bought it with 36,xxx)
-Garaged its whole life
-I'm the 2nd owner
-Has a small crack in rear bumper, other wise very very clean minus a few small scratches
-Interior is immaculate as you can see
-Bought the car BONE stock, i've added a cut-out, skip shift elim, lid, hurst shift **** other wise stock
-Like new tires, runs/drives perfectly, needs nothing

That would be a shame to sell. Let's hope you don't have to do that after finding such a nice ride. I would ask $12,000 and sell in the $10,000 - $11,000 price range, whatever price you are comfortable with. Adding those few 'mild' mods shouldn't hurt too much and being the 2nd owner won't hurt much either but may raise questions about why you are selling it so quickly. I'd be worried about that aspect if I was buying. You will need to be honest and upfront about it if asked. Also, www.autotrader.com would be the best site to sell this low mileage car if necessary. I personally had to stop with ebay about two years ago after too many 'kiddies' and lowballers (bothersome e/mails too) bid on the cars I was selling for my older car club members. Sorry about the financial woes.

I'm going to try my hardest to keep the car, basically just throwing out a "feeler" what is it worth thread. As it sits now, i probably don't think i could do much under 12. I'm sure i'll be keeping the car for that, but i also have no problem with that at all. I'm going about back to school here soon and won't have time to work enough to afford this car, and it becomes less practical. It's a tough situation.

Kind of just tossing the idea around, but would anyone be willing to trade for a C5 Corvette? Ideally straight across. Obviously it would have much more miles.

Bump. Added Ws6 wheels and up to 39k miles. Looks like this now. Click link in original post for more pics. Would anyone be interested? I'm honestly thinking about just selling both my cars and getting one good car to drive year round. This car just sits in the garage way too much to justify keeping.

For the sake of starting a new thread i figured i'd get a little input.

I'm honestly tossing the idea around of selling both my cars and just buying one nice, sporty, reliable car to drive year around.

So far, my choices:
2002-2003 Nissan Maxima
2000-2003 Pontiac GP GTP
2007+ VW GTI

My budget is 11-12k, obviously with this selection i wouldn't come close to that except for the GTI. Thoughts?

Highly recommend a 05-08 Grand Prix either the GT supercharged. Comp G or the GXP, We have a 06 GT with the 3800 SC and I love it, if I knew the car would be this fun and comfortable to drive I might have chased the GXP Ive even thought about still getting one and skipping out on another T/A But I miss the Ttops, there is a guy floating around with a set of flowmasters on the GXP and it sounds mean

I am honestly just not a fan of the new GP body style. If they offered a coupe i think it might grow on me though. I do love the big gauges though.
