Thumbs up

Yeah that's a pretty rare deal as long as the car wasn't wrecked/salvaged.
Might even be able to get it in the high $17k range too.

Looks like the price is about where it should be...not really a great deal. The mileage is nice though.

Thats an OK, price, nothing spectacular. I just ran the KBB and it came to be $17,940. I have a similar car. I got the better speedo and tire package and a rarer interior.

I ran my car with 36k and as far as KBB was concerned same options @ 36,000 miles $17,815. All under suggested retail value.

If my car had 5k on it I'd pay a lil more but this is not a steal. LS1 prices have been dropping, you are starting to see decent cars, not great cars hovering the 10k mark.

kbb means **** when you start to get around that low of mileage or rare/collector. Kbb is only acurate for large volume of cars..like civics ebcause it bases its price off of what is actually happening. Meaning, how many 5k mile ls1s are sitting around?

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/search...=&keywordsfyc=

that is a search of cars under 15k miles... ranging from 18000-50000.

That was used as a tool for comparison. Its a dealer car, they must have gotten it for a steal and still include the markup.

There is nothing rare about the car, its not a Blackbird, its a non ram air T/A, dealer car low milage but something is only worth as much as a person is willing to pay for it. Period.
