Question 2001 SS M6, price reasonable?

Does this price seem at all reasonable? The miles seem high to me but these cars are hard to find in my area.

80K miles
Leather
T-tops
One owner, all stock
remainder of GM 100K warranty
Monsoon
Torque thrust wheels
Lojack

$14,500


Thanks for any feedback

Well i just got a 99 SS 6 speed NBM with 63500 on the clock for $9995 T-tops, loaded except for leather. Had a descent dent in the quarter panel thats gonne be about 6-900 to get fixed though. I traved 1000 miles to get that deal as in my area this same car would be 15Gs+ all day.

I wouldn't listen too much about what other people tell you what kind of deals they got. The area you live in plays a huge part. I would recommend more searching. Not just to find another car for cheaper, but to use it as a gauge as to what prices are reasonable.

To me, that seems like a lot of money for a car with 80k miles, but like I said, area plays a huge factor. If it were me, I would say no unless the guy came down quite a bit. Also, what year is it?

And also, kelly blue book it to see what they say its worth.

Good luck!

The car is an '01 and is Pewter in color. I have been looking for a while and it sure is hard to find something that is reasonably priced.

I'm going to look at it tomorrow, but I don't know if I want a car with that many miles.

By the way, is there a rule of thumb premium value for SS and WS6 models vs. standard Z28s and Trans Ams?

Since it's an 01 and it's an SS I wouldn't say that's a BAD price. SS's are generally worth more and have the better resell value. I'd say you would be better off just getting a Z28 or a normal T/A/Firebird. The base models are usually cheaper.

SS's and WS6's command a few thousand more aorund chicago at dealers. Sometimes quite a bit more actually. Kinda rediculous. Private sellers are hit or miss. Id say try and find a good deal and travel for it if at all posisble.
