Is it a WS6? Even if it is I still think thats WAYYYYYYYY too much, I would pay maybe 18 for it, if it was in mint condition, I mean for 23.5 you can almost buy a nice C5. But yea that seems really high, F bodies dont hold there value, great cars but just dont hold value, 37 K isnt exactly really low miles either

Yeah thats high. They might have uped the asking price because they know its high and they will be talked down. Id go high as 19k.

I got mine for 19.5 with 15,555 on the clock.

Yes, a bit too high for the mileage indicated. I could see getting that price for a SOM if it were a 10,000 mile example but in this case $20,000 seems tops to pay. Good luck in your negotiations!

Don't let them try to get money out of you for that audio equipment. Their main bargaining chip is the low miles....and the killer color.

I know it's not the best comparison but I bought an 01 som t/a in may 04 for
$18,000 with 32,000 miles from a dealer. Although mine is an auto and not a
ws6 the price difference at the time was $2-3000 more for a ws6. I don't know what region of the U.S. your looking in but the information I listed was for the southeast. I agree with the earlier statement about getting a C5 for that price, they seem to hold their value alot better than f-bodies, I wish I would have. Also it'll be easier to find an unmodded C5. Good luck in your negotiating or search !

Is this private or through a dealer? SOM is rare, but it's not worth that much. If it's through a dealer I doubt they'll budge much. If it was through a private party, I think 19k would be a decent place to start discussion.

No....WS6 is an additional package, you could get a normal T/A or a WS6 T/A, then WS6 would make it worth a little more, if its not a WS6 then I would say 16 K tops

ya it is one of the 195 built acording to the guy (private seller) he doesnt want to come down any lower because that is what he owes on the car and he doesnt want to even sell it but hes needs the money
heres the link to the site pics thanks for the input any tips on getting him lower what if i told him to keep the subs and amps, i would never use them anyway
