96 WS6 Formula, 1 of 139, what's it worth?
I'm tired of people offering me 4,000 saying that's all it's worth. What do you guys think?
1996 WS6 Firebird Formula
89,000 miles
LPP longtubes
LPP ORY Y
Pro 5.0 Shifter
K&N
1 of 524 made in 96
1 of 139 in Black
Exterior has a small nick in the hood. About the size of a pinky finger nail, if maybe smaller.
The interior is in GREAT shape for a 16 year old car. Headliner is starting to peel slightly around the front of the T-tops.
The car runs great and has no problems whatsoever.
I was asking 8,500 OBO. I know there isn't much of a market for LT1's anymore but still. I've even said I would take 7,000 cash for it.

Mods and mileage soon approaching 100k miles makes your car almost worthless to 'collectors' so the rarity of your car is really moot in your sales presentation. It is just another 16 year old modded LT1 car for sale that will appeal to a very young market ONLY! $7,000 would be a real miracle
Just for your own info in the future, rare models will mostly only appeal to collectors if the car remains stock with ultra low mileage. Even the simplest modifications will hurt value and of course any mileage over 10,000 starts the downward spiral unless age starts factoring in the equation. An '89 T/A with 25,000 miles would be considered a real find where a 2002 T/A with that mileage is just so-so with less collector appeal.
GLWS!!

Sorry bro, NC01 is right...you may be able to get 6 but that would be to someone who knows what it is and respects it low number production but at the same time, that person will also take away for the mileage and mods... Id say put it at 6 for a while and be happy with it if you get it...Id be surprised if it sells for that. Id say 5k is pretty reasonable though. Thats what I would pay for it but only cause I know what it is... Post up some pics, it may help your case...glws..

on that note. Your car is nice, cool options and If I had the cash I'd pay around 5k-6k if it was really nice. I don't mind lt1's though.

Well my deal is that there are 94-95 Camaros selling all around me for 5-5500 range. I had a guy looking at my car that offered me 5K and I told him to shove it. So he turns around and a week later buys a 95 white camaro with 140,000 miles on it for 5800. I told him I would take 7000 for my car but instead he "saved" 1200 by buying this other F body.
I say "saved" because the car was completely stock and nowhere near as nice as mine.

haha.. 5800 for a 140k lt1??? wow... Thats LS1 price range right there.. lol... Thats another thing that hurts you. Most People would rather buy a 130k LS1 for that price than a lower mileage LT...

There's no real way to say without seeing the car but if it was clean inside, outside, under the hood, under the car (reasonably), fix the headliner, even the scratch on the hood since you mentioned it, then yeah, I think your asking price is a good starting point. Don’t give the buyer any real room to complain. Nice cars are not cheap. Cars with problems are cheap. Not sure who is looking at your car but if somebody likes it, that’s it. Go to Autotrader.com, cars.com, ect. for reference. And you do have some rarity on your side right now, it’s a Pontiac, it’s a Formy, and it’s a WS6. I would have told that guy to shove it too, or better yet go find another one just like it.
