That is WAY too much for a stock 2002 WS6. It should be $10,000 or less.

He may sit for awhile at that 'firm' price. $14,000 - $15,000 is not overpaying but it better not need anything, tires included. If in very good to excellent condition with full maintenance records, go for it. Good luck with the purchase. Be smart. There are others out there, even in Manitoba. Are you near Winnipeg or out in the boonies??

Sounds like you've already made up your mind.

It's a nice-looking car for sure, but there's nothing special about it to command that high of a price. He's gonna have to come down a lot on it.

I love how the seller lists all the stock options as if they're really adding something to the price he's asking.....silly seller

I got mine 2 and a half years ago for $11,000 with 42,000 miles.

It is not a collectors edition. KBB is $12,725.

Remember prices vary by location. IE. in Western MA a trans am will tend to be around 2-3k dollars higher in price then say in in PA or NJ. Thats because in those areas seeing a firebird or camaro isn't that rare. Seeing a firebird/camaro in my area is not likely.

Man I've been trying to sell my built motor/trans clean 98 TA for $10,000. Hell I'd take $9,000 for it. I just want it gone so I can get my vette.

I know what you mean, I actually went up to CT to get mine because there werent any nice TAs for sale in NJ at the time. My original estimate of $10k or less is not accurate for that area...BUT it also appears that the OP is over 1000 miles away from Belgrade, MT.
