If a clear title and clean Carfax then a slight premium will be involved in the pricing with those low miles. Also a factor to consider is the ownership situation. A one owner car or multiple owners?? This does affect pricing as well. If one or two owner and the above criteria is met, I would ask $10,000 or so and settle for something in the $9,000+ range. If no calls, lower the price until you get nibbles. Good luck!

For a 3rd owner, yeah, a bit too high. Also, any mods (as slight as yours are) are a negative to some looking for 'stock' examples. I'll stick with my original post and advice. Again, good luck!

Well written ad. Negatives that I see are the 4 owners, which is a lot for such low mileage. Also the exhaust mods may rule out a few 'lookers'. In my selling experiences over the years, I have found that having a reserve price is not a good idea. I have only been successful with starting at the lowest price I would accept as ebay has become an almost 'last ditch' selling resort lately. Nothing but 'bottom feeders' and 'tire kickers'. I have struck out with my last 4 cars in the past month (mostly collector type cars for my area car club members) I tried to sell on ebay after having incredible success in years past. I sold my last car on www.autotrader.com with their $30 ad. Good luck!

I would not let it go too cheap unless you're in need of quick cash. I have a 98 ss with 34,000 miles and there is no way I would settle for 10,000 if I wanted to sell it. You would basically be giving someone a new car for a cheap price.

Low miles , but it's still a 13 year old car thats no longer stock. The exhaust tells people the engine probably has some hard driving on it. For a non-WS6, I think you'd be better off asking for $10K and accepting less. Almost everyone values their car much more than a buyer. (See F55C6 above).However, it all depends on why and how much you really want to sell it. I'd guess you can get $8.5K for it. Maybe more if your patient. Good Luck!
