Default Should I sell my car?

I have a black 99 camaro B4C 6-speed. Factory headers, magnaflow exhaust, chip work, granatelli air lid, drilled and slotted rotors, hurst short throw shifter, comp cams valve springs,MSD wires and NGK tr55 plugs, 5000 miles on rebuilt rear end (3.42 gears) and clutch assembly. free ram air mod, EGR mod, halo lights, and billet grille. Im sure there is more little things. 144000 miles. It needs new brake pads and water pump. also has: gray cloth interior (very nice) power seat windows and locks, rockford fosgate cd player.

What is it even worth? Im not sure.

A local dealer has an 01 WS6 black, auto tranny with 50000 miles. they want 21500 for it. It is LOADED and nice, black leather and everything. It has aftermarket headers and a cam. also has collectors edition badges on it (is that right?) The dealer said he could get me on 215 a month payments if I put 2K down and my car (7500 trade in).

What do you think?

I got my 02 ws6 black m6 tan leather loaded with 27k on it for $20,800. Thats in Denver, Co. if you could get it about 2.5-3k cheaper or less since its modded (you dont know who did the mods/ if they were done right), the I would probably buy it. But in the end its up to you.

seems a little high to me sence you see 02 WS6's with about 9k miles go for about 20k and they are loaded as well.... if you can talk them down to 19 or even 18 it's a much better deal.

I know this question is off, but how well is it running with 144K? Im not there yet, about 20k away, just wondering. As for your purchase definatly try to knock it down, the market for these cars lately hasnt been to great, but im sure come summer prices will rise so see what you can do, good luck

The camaro runs great, the only problem is the water pump is leaking. I wanted to talk to the guy that had the T/A before, but the dealer didnt have any info on that. Im gonna try to work the price on the T/A down. I will also be working on the camaro this weekend and I will take some updated pics and also to show that it IS a B4C with a 6-speed for all of the people who have questions about that.

Thanks to everyone for the advice.

The WS6 is priced WAY too high especially since it's been modified that heavily.
