Default help please

i have the chance to buy a ls1 in chicago here are some deatail tell me what you think a resonable price is, thanks

1999 Pontiac Trans AM! it has 43,000 miles
This car is beautiful inside and out. Car is mechanically flawless and needs absolutely nothing. Ready for the summer! I love this car and hate to let it go, but I am moving into my own place and I will need the cash. It comes with the stock monsoon cd stereo or for an extra $100 I will through in the aftermarket pioneer mp3 cd player already installed, which is up to the buyer. This car has not one scratch or dent on it. The only blemish it has is on the rear bumper about half inch above the license plate is a small crack and this is shown in the pictures. The leather is absolutely superb on this vehicle and best of all it comes with the SGI Services extended warranty with only a $50 deductable covering this vehicle at any North America dealer until April 2008 (This is a $2,000 extra included). Coverage included and covers the engine, transmission and transfer case, drive axle, suspension, steering, brakes, electrical, air conditioning, fuel system, audio center, and hardware of the vehicle.

it has basiclly every option other than the ws6 package
lemme know what i should offer him

Offer him 11,500 and go up from there. Sounds like a decent car.

16k I would say. A mustang with comperable miles in the same year will run you about 12-15k so Id say 16-17k for an LS1 car.

Since that's less than both of their suggestions (Avalanche & baddogz28), I'd say they'd go for it

I said 8 or 9k in your post in the Firebird Forum, so you're good with 10,500. As long as everything you've listed is legit, and the seller isn't glorifying things to make a quick sale.

The values of LS1 cars have nothing to do with the values of mustangs. The LS1 market is a little soft right now.

Naw not really but back when I was lookin for a car the LS1s were always a lil out of reach compared to the mustangs. Although I know what you mean. The LS1s dont seem to be as desiriable right now.
