Depends how clean she is and just how much you like it. Sometimes its not only about the cost, but wether or not you are getting just the right car. I have also found that the market value in different areas can be off thousands from state to state.

Look like pretty nice cars, I dunno how much they go for where you are but I am also looking. There is a blue ss I am looking at, a lot like that one, it is a 6spd and has 82k he is asking $10,000. I am doing the same as you looking at them and trying to figure out how much they all go for, so I dont really know what to consider a "good" deal, seems like it might be a little high for that many miles, but if you like it and its a nice car you can always try to talk them down on it.

I remember seeing that Blue SS you posted pics of on autotrader. That price is too high for the miles it has. Like I said in the post above just wait it out and you'll find a good deal.

What are the details on the trans am?

There is a camaro near me that I am looking into the guy is asking 7200, its a 1999 z28 with 6spd and 86k. I am trying to decide right now if i would rather wait and get one with less miles and possibly newer. There is another one that is a 2002 z28 6spd all stock with 55k for 10900. Still dunno what to do though.

Yeah Im juggling between the two. I love the look of the SS alot more than the T/A. But for the price and mileage. You cant beat that T/A, so I think if everything is fine with the T/A and Im happy with it. I might just pick her up today. Then seafoam by monday.

Get the T/A, it's a much better deal, especially if it's a REAL WS6. What year is the SS? Seems a bit high.

Both fbodies are 2000s. Well from what the dealer says it has the ram air/handling package. So Im not sure if its a real WS6 or not? Anyways I can find out by looking in the door jams?

Yup, just look for the WS6 code.

Yes, still a pretty good deal. Might be able to talk them down to 7K.
