i got my 1999 SS M6 
for 8 something about a year ago, one heck of a deal IMO. 
i've seen alot of SS's for sale in indiana for around 10-13 G's, with the exception of a few higher priced, but for 15 you should be able to find a deal! good luck!! SS Camaro's are too sick

for $15k you can get a whole lotta car in an LS1 Fbody. older LS1s with all the costly mods for 400-420 rwhp n/a already done or a new 01-02 stock with low miles.
lowest i've seen is $6500 for a 98 Z/28 with 125k miles.

I got mine for 15k, it's a Trans Am but not a WS6.
Camaro's generally go for cheaper than Firebird's so I think you'll be able to find a really nice one for 15k. When looking, ask the owner when the last time the oil/rear end/transmission fluids were changed... if they don't know then I'd walk away.
Oh and if You end up getting one, especially an M6, for your FIRST mod, order Sub Frame Connectors, no matter WHAT anyone else tells you.
