Question Edmunds pricing for LS1 fbodies seems WRONG!

I was looking at Edmund's TMV pricing for the 98 SS and for the 98 WS6, each with 80,000 miles. They both spit back really low numbers. The WS6 was valued at less than $6500. So, their pricing has to be way off. It is usually about right.

What have some of you paid recently for your LS1 fbody?

LMAO! This isnt a competition.

Some dealers will whip out KBB when you negotiate with them others will use NADA.

In the end its only worth what someone is willing to pay.

Are you being serious?

If you are, then i'm sure the prices will go down once the 5th gen comes out.

my 2000 z28 booked at 11,100 in october 07, in february this year i checked it again and it was like $9800. that sucks. lost $1,300 value just letting it sit over winter.

I always use NADA, seems the most acurate to me and most dealerships i have been to use it also.
