Default VERY Nice Bolt On 2000 Trans Am WS.6, How Much To Sell My Baby For?

My baby is going on the chopping block. Car has been meticulously maintained by me. Washed, waxed, and garaged neurotically, non smoker. Car is in gorgeous condition inside and out and was a garage queen the five years I've had it with the occasional weekend cruises with the tops off and a few trips to Bishop California. Car has the usually blemishes here or there with the dimples in the rear quarter panels and blemishes on the wheels. Tires were in brand new condition when I bought the car and only have put 13,000 miles on it. Car drives and starts like a dream, gets 29-30mpg hwy. A/C is FREEZING cold, just can't say enough about how nice this car is. Not exactly sure what to start at on my local craigslist/autotrader. I was thinking of starting at $13k-12.5k? Here are the specs...

2000 Trans Am WS.6
89,000 miles
6-Speed Manual

Mods
SLP Lid
SLP Smooth Bellow
Stock Ported Throttle Body
LS6 Intake
Pacesetter Coated Long Tube Headers
Texas Speed High Flow Cats
Magnaflow Cat Back
Manual Cut-out
Frost Tune
Koni shocks on Strano Springs
UMI Short Stick with Custom "WS6" Engraved Aluminum Handle
Monster Stage 1 Clutch With Lightweight Flywheel (Brand New)
Tick Master Cylinder
Pioneer Deck with Navigation/ Pop Out Screen

Your car is VERY clean for the mileage! However im afraid your almost at the 100k mark odometer wise and that just kills any premium for the car. The mods just don't add any value either in this market. I would ask 10,000 and see where it goes from there. You should be able to get at least $8500 to $9k for it. I know this isn't exactly what you want to hear but to put it into perspective you can get a nice 20-30k mile WS6 for $14-16k if you look around right now. GLWS

Yeah, way too optimistic of a price with those miles. Such a gorgeous car though!! Incredible work!
If it was my ride I would start at $11,000 and see if any nibbles. If nothing, then lower in $500 increments until you hit that sweet spot when the phone starts ringing.
CL is a unless you want the local scumbags coming to your home to check everything out. I believe you would do well on Autotrader, especially with those impressive photos. I think it is about $40 for a listing still. It was the last time I sold my friend's car.

Man, I can't believe you sold your ws6. One of mine is an 02 NBM WS6 that I will never part with.

Yeah, it was a good looking car, just not practical for me. Lots of stuff I liked about it. Lots of stuff I disliked too.

P.S. I sold the car for $10,000

I understand priorities change & that's a part of life. I figure a Trans Am is not practical when you have booties hanging from the rear view mirror.

Yeah. Like I said. It sold OVER a week ago. Reading the thread, all I know is it sold between Sept 2013 and Sept 2016.
Must be some reason for it being resurrected exactly 3 yrs to the day from the initial post.

Sure seems like you were implying it sold roughly a week ago, but whatever.

There is no way to know the exact date as the OP didn't confirm a sale until 9/5/16. So any time between 9/5/13 and 9/5/16 could have been the sale date. I think that's all that Firebrian was implying.

Regardless, this one is clearly done so we'll let it die.
