It is a bit overpriced, but the thing will last long if it's been taken care of and if you take care of it. Mine's at 207,XXX right now. I bought it for $3500 at 197,XXX

Thats high for the mileage. I would offer 5k 5.5k, somewhere in that range. As for it dying on you, thats all in how the car was maintained...

I did not think of it that way. If you have the 8k to spend you can find a much better car with lower miles for that price.

My ex got her '01 WS6 6 speed, black on black leather, t-tops, etc., with 91k miles for 11.5k. I don't think what they are asking in insanely overpriced, for a dealer at least. But it is up there. Check out the Dealer KBB value.

I just picked up a 99 Z28 loaded with leather and pretty much every option except the 12 disk cd changer for $4900. The car has 174K on it and it's a 6spd.

KBB lists the suggested retail value is $9,265... which I believe is insane to say the least, but I don't think it'll be easy to talk them down since they can use nada and kbb as resources to back them up. I guess I'll have to be patient and wait for the right car to come along for under 10grand. Thanks guys for your responses

Well that price is also if the car is in good condition. Point out scratches in the paint, or spider webs in the paint and so on. Find clear coat chips on the front from rocks, find interior flaws, point out all of this stuff. The tell the seller, "If I buy this car I will have to repair all of these areas of concern". If you find areas of the car that devalue it you may get in cheaper. If they will not move on their price, tell them thank you and when you decide to drop your price give me a call.

I bought mine a month or two ago with 70,000 on the clock. $6,250

No issues what-so-ever!



If you can afford to wait, do it. Keep looking on here and the right deal will come along eventually. This is where I found mine.
