I'm setting out on my quest for a new ride. Specifically, I'm looking for an LS1 (of course) ws6 (98 - 02...long as its an LS1, I don't really care for the year), but I'm not interested in an A4. Since the member base here is so widespread, I thought Id get some input as far as prices. I'm in Colorado, and most ls1 f-bodies are priced a lot higher than I believe is 'fair', and I don't mind travelling for the car, so I'd like to find out what is considered 'fair" (not necessarily asking prices) in other parts of the country.

Or, perhaps I'm just out of line with what I consider fair or not. Here's a few examples of what i've been seeing around here.

02 TA WS6 M6- showroom condition - loaded 9,000 miles $25,000

01 TA WS6 M6 - excellent condition - loaded 35,000 miles $26,500

00 TA WS6 M6 - excellent condition - loaded 54,000 miles $22,995

99 TA WS6 M6 - excellent condition - loaded 29,000 miles $18000

Is it just me, or are these prices a little higher than they should be? Now, I'll pay what it's worth, and mileage isn't a huge deal, as I'll be doing some extensive motor work anyway, but even the higher miliage vehicles (75-90k '98s and '99s) are consistently priced anywhere from 17-20k. I mean, I should be able to get a solid ls1 for a much lower ballpark than above shouldn't I?

Edit - Private seller prices are on par with used dealer prices.

Jeez a '99 for 18?

I kinda think they might be a little high

Is that in Canadian dollars?

So these are pretty high? I initially scouted for a 98 - 99 with 50k or so miles on it, because I figured I could have it for mid to low teens I wanted to stay around there, because I'm gonna get fried on interest with a bankruptcy, but didn't find a single car. Time to hit Autotrader nationally, and buy a plane ticket i guess.

Son of a bitch! I picked my '02 Z28 up with only 20,000 miles on it for $18K. That's ridiculous!

Just bought a 2001 Black WS6 A4 with 26000 miles and in excellent condition for $21,500.

Nov. 2002 I paid 23,000 for my 01' WS6 with all the extras (like CD Changer) and under 17,000 miles with brand new BFG KDW tires. It was 5,000 to 7,000 under book.
