Default 12 fair?

Does 12k seem fair for a 2000 WS6 Trans-am M6, t-tops, leather, 107k miles.

Has a C5 lS1 Vette engine because apparently a push rod was bent in 05. The new ls1 has 7k miles on it.

Tires don't have much tread left. Front bumper apparently was bumped and who ever owned it first tried to fix it, and now it's spider webbing a bit in the paint where it was hit.

Z06 clutch.

New brakes.

tsp rumbler catback

Has a lid

skip shift eliminator.

I think 12k sounds ok for a WS6 with those problems. Do you think it would have a rebuilt title? I'm going to have to ask.

anyway. What's yoru opinons?

I would offer 10 as that is probably what it is worth. I wouldn't buy it for 12. look around and you will find similar ls1 going for the same money.

sounds like a fair asking price... but obviously you will probably be talked down some.

I'll deffinatly do some weasleing. Main points being the engine replacement, and bald *** tires.

The paint cracks on the bumper too.

I really want a ws6 m6 and t-tops. I hope I nab this ******.

Oh and does anyone know how much a shop would typically charge to let me bring it in and have them check it over? They I assume can check things I would miss.

for a reference point...I paid $12,700 for my 42,700 mile, 02 Z28, A4, T tops, leather, Monsoon, chrome wheels, brand new tires, K&N, SLP lid, otherwise stock. This car is flawless except for a 2" scuff on the right front lower bumper and about 1" scratch on the spoiler, the leather looks perfect, not even any wear.

I would do some talking down!

With that mileage and the paint issues, tires, etc. and engine swap I wouldn't touch that car. I know you're tempted but unless he drops to 10 grand I'd look elsewhere. Problem is, a 00 and up WS6 usually run a lot more. No offense to the guy who stated it but a Z-28 is not a good reference. The WS6's resale for a few thousand more and the 02's even more for some reason.
