It has 65k miles , the paint is awesome, except for spidering in the front bumper, chrome ws6 wheels with newer goodyear eagle F1s. it is a m6 tan leather interior monsoon deck no monsoon sub, non ttop power everything else (and they work) , its never seen snow and it runs well. is $10k too much? the vin is 2G2FV22P4V2218714. thanks for the help.

$10k is WAYYYYYYY too much. Try for $7500.

IF you are going to spend $10k. Get this 99 LS1 for the same money.

I have a 98 with 39k for $10k. Nearly flawless, new tires. Meticulously maintained. And treated to Mobil-1 since 19k miles. All options I know of except leather. I hate leather. Did I mention 400+ (estimated) horsepower? The car has never been on the track or seen dyno time.

So yes, that is too much money.

I too have a 99 with 70k for 10k, don't even bother with the 97 for that price.

I got my 1998 1LE for $10250 with only 38000 miles. Go for an LS1, it will be worth it in the long run.

Unfortunately the market is real bad for F-bodies.

When you can get a 100k mile C5 for $15k, it beats the market for f-bodies down even more.

I see a few LS1 z28's going for around $6,500.
