$19K seems fair as long as it's in as good of condition as a 13K mile car should be (no body damage and such...).

Not to argue, but what book? KBB lists a '01 SS with 13K in perfect condition with your options at 20,800.

Just wondering....

Sounds like a good a price. A few weeks ago i was tempted to trade my TA in for an 01ss. Mainly cause of miles my car has 76K, the ss had 16k, pewter, fully loaded , goin for $18,9xx. Especially now cause i have a second car. But decided against it. The cars still for sale, i want to go check it out sooo bad. Must fight the urge.

I think you might be able to get a little more out of it...i paid 18500 for my Z with 13k on tha clock...try for 20k and if they want you to, you could go down a little bit. Good Luck

That's retail. Try private party or trade.

Exactly, retail values mean ZERO in the private sector.

Dude, with your mods and mileage I think some rich kids daddy will buy it for at least 20 large. It's a 16 year old's wet dream......and mine come to think of it!

$14K to $16K would be good depending on your option level and overall condition....

I did some looking locally and the guys around here are nuts with what they are asking for there cars. 21,000 to 24,000. Then I found the one I bought. I got all the goodies and for the extra cash can make the car that much faster. I even went to the auction looking and lets see 99 with 75,000 miles went for 10,000 bucks. 01 and 02 at auction were going for 13,000 to 17,000 again depending on milage and condition. Later John
