Default what's my SS worth?

Just wondering what an SS like the one i drive is worth?

1997 Black SS Hardtop
Cloth Interior
Brand New motor - Less than 700 miles
Brand New A4 Transmission - Less than 700 miles
Silver SS stripes
Shorty headers, K&N CAI.
!AIR !EGR !CATS
Drilled Rotors
109k on the body.

Interior is a 9/10, dash has a crack in it. 5 minute replacement part, costs around 140.
Exterior is a 9/10 only two paint issues, cant notice em unless you look for them. The car looks imacculate and beautiful from 5 feet away. But you can find flaws.











CAR ISNT FOR SALE. JUST WANTING TO KNOW WHAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD GO FOR IN THE SUMMER MONTHS.

blue book wont tell you what you think its worth but the real market value. thats really just a starting point, then go from there.

are you joking i think ls1 SS in the real world not the "I think my cars worth 14k" crap, isnt even worth that much. i would be very happy if i could get 8-9k out of my SS. take it to a dealer if you wanna see wat its really worth (prepare to be disapointed...)


dont get me wrong its a beautiful car..

Edit- damn i guess i was wrong kbb said your car should be 7-8k private. but than again it is an LT1.. and you can get LS1's for that and most ppl would rather have an LS1

Love the 30th SS. It's still one of my all time fave f-bodies. I've never seen either of your cars around Frisco.

Are you serious?

Dealerships try to get your car for the least amount possible. They LOVE it when you bring them Blue Book values because they can wholesale it at auction for more or equal to what Blue Book claims.
