High Car prices on this board...

i bought my 02 ss 35th for 24,500 in 2005 with 19k miles on it. CME exhaust full slp car. you get what you pay for. 98 Z28 is going to be not worth as much i know, but i would never sell my 02 for less then 15-17 if it was still stock, now with the turbo, shoot, i wouldnt let it go for less than 30k. if you do your car up, complete, rear end, tranny, interior not hacked up and clean and your making 500hp, i think thats worth 3k over a stock car.

And alot of scammers too. I saw a truck like mine a 2004 f-150 crewcab 4x4 fully loaded with 103k miles for only 4600 dollars. No phone number so when i clicked on email address the computer froze??. when it comes to good deals on craigslist its a gamble.

There are also a lot of people who don't have to sell, so they can ask a higher price.
I will put my WS6 up for sale soon (around 10-11K) And if I can get it, great, if I don't no big deal, it sits in the garage, covered, and the title sits in my safe deposit box, and I have a nice car to enjoy t-top off weather in.

The hell..
I always recommend this place for steals. I've seen one after another on here. Yeah, some could be cheaper, but there are dirt cheap, squeaky clean cars to be had at this place.
I scored mine with 70k for $6,250 on here

That's it right there....
I didn't expect to get such a reaction off this thread...I only made it because I'm looking for an SS or ws6 and everyone in my area is asking an arm and leg...when I lived in Michigan the prices were dirt cheap

1st time poster and I was blown away by the prices on this board vs EVERYWHERE else. This board tends to have better kept vehicles than looking local obviously but damn the prices are crazy. I don't mind paying what it's worth. I don't even bother looking on here for a vehicle here.
Just watch the threads and see the 13 bumps and how firm they are on price in their post only to lower it in 2 days, lmfao.

i took a risk and bought my car from a guy on here that had very few posts but a good buyer/seller rating. he only had the car for a few months and the previous owner had it for 7 years and had a carfax recored of EVERY oil change and maintanence item every it seems. sometimes you win sometimes you dont. but i would sqwak about paying a little more for a car that i KNOW was kept up and not bashed in.

this board has gotten out of control on the inflation of car prices...Not everyone but I would say 80% of the members posting there cars for sale want at leasst $3000 more then it's worth...I understand some with the heavily modded show cars...I don't count them...But so many people are asking $13k for an 01ss with a 100k miles...I even seen a non ws6 1999 TA on here with almost 70k for 15K ...almost every car on here is like that..lol.....I'm just curious if anyone is actually seening these prices for there cars...Because when i GO ON CRAIGSLIST THE PRICES DROP BIG TIME AND PEOPLE COME BACK TO EARTH..LOL...Has anyone else noticed this...It ruins my car searching on this board..it makes me want to slap my monitor for posting like ***

You will pay more an SS/WS6 than a Z28 or regular TA. It's not as bad as a small corner dealer selling a 110k mile 02 WS6 for 17k! Now that's freaking rediculous. When a private seller prices the car they should price it figuring someone is going to offer a couple grand less, even if you price it at it's value.
#34
this guy just has no idea how to look around. It took me awhile but i found a car on here that had 8K miles on a new engine/trans rebuild. Came with a built LS6 making 430rwhp for 9K, seemed like a good deal to me at the time and it still does 3000 miles later.
#35
i can't complain. i got my 30th for 12K on here. Seller was awesome and his Dad had a 30th also. Car was kept pretty clean and had a few issues. To me though it was worth it as I have wanted a 30th since 99. 12k for one of my dream cars? YES PLEASE.

Last year I purchased an 02 slp SS with cme. blk/blk 48k miles on it for $16K. I added pacesetter long tubes and ORY, painted the wheels to look like 35th LE wheels, gave the car a sloid detail and sold it for $20k 3 months later on craigslist. A car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it... bottom line.

Although some cars here seem to be generously priced considering what's done to them and the care given to them, I'd have to agree that a lot of them seem a tad overpriced, and some are even downright ripoffs. I actually got lucky and bought a car (in my sig obviously) that was originally listed HERE for $12.5k (firm) at a dealer for $10k. I guess the previous owner cracked down and just traded it in to make a deal on a GTO he has now currently. Even at that price, I feel like it wasn't exactly the deal of the century, but it is well worth the peace of mind knowing that it was babied and was in good hands (previous owner generously stopped by dealership and gave me a good rundown on the car and the mods done) instead of blindly putting down money on a car without knowing wtf it has went through. Plus the fact that it only had 49k miles (compared to the 80k-100kish cars I've been coming across before for similar prices) only helped.

Also, you cant always go by KBB. They go by a percentage of the cars that they see. If they get 100 cars and 40 of them are rode hard, put up wet trailer park V6'ers then that is how they estimate thier pricing. 99% of the cars that go for sale here are not in that category. There was a site I seen a while ago that offered a more accurate pricing table for F-Bodies because that is all they do, buy and sell F-Bodies.
