Hey Viper, welcome to LS1tech!

I've moved your question here to the "what's it worth?" section.

Most buyers today would consult Kelly Blue Book to determine what to pay for a used car.

Good luck!

In the past year I saw a pair of black 2002 FH's that were loaded and had the 1LE option too. They were bid to the $22K to $23K level but did not sell due to higher reserves. Your car sounds interesting as you don't see white all that often. Oddly, it has a lower production number than SOM FH's (43 cars built). A white automatic is the rarest of the production coupes with only 9 built. You didn't say if yours was an M6 or A4. I didn't count the 4 "special" red maple metallic M6 cars. Any of the extra FH options on your car? (wheels, spoiler, etc.). If someone is looking for mint <10K white 2002 FH, there can't be very many out there. I think you could easily get a strong price if the car has the right stuff for <10K miles. I wouldn't think that more than 10% of the original production still survives with a <10K mile car.

That's a start. Now let's get serious since we are talking serious $$$.
How many owners? Clean Carfax? We just can't assume. Garage kept? Kept outside for all these years? Original tires on the car? Any maintenance done? Even with that insane low mileage fluids need to be changed due to age. These are all factors that can affect price. If the new owner is getting a garage kept one owner ride with new quality rubber and all maintenance done, then top $$ can be expected, something north of $20k most likely. If a 3 owner car that has been left outside in the climate for years, and the original tires are shot, etc... then you can see how drastically that could affect price, possibly thousands and thousands less. It's all in the details or otherwise we are just guessing and doing you no good whatsoever. By the way, price guides should be thrown 'out the window' for ultra low mileage F-bodies. There are serious premiums attached in most instances.

And would be completely wrong on a car like that...besides KBB doesn't even list a Firehawk.


OP PM me with some details on the car and what you want for it...I am very interested and a serious buyer.

OK, that's a bit better, but it is like pulling teeth to get details.
You can most likely get more than $20,000 for this car unless you are leaving something out. Ask whatever you like (up to $25k) and allow for some negotiating to whatever price you feel comfortable with.
It's up to you if you want to drive it or not. You can't buy a decent 'new' car for a price in the low 20's anymore. Personally I would buy a new set of quality tires, flush the fluids, (if you haven't done so already), and start driving it. It would be a 'like new' car. That's if you want the car. If you are tired of it, then get that $20k+ and buy whatever you want, but it won't be a new 8 cylinder Camaro or Mustang GT. What you have now is better than both of those IMO, but that's me. How about you??
