Since it's $7,300 OBO, I would offer $6,300. That car looks good though and the LT1 Ram-Air is getting pretty rare. I would make sure that it's a true WS6 and not just the hood though. Nada suggest that the average retail on that car is $6,500. Here is a link:

It's not a real WS6 if it's a 95, so it's just the hood. I like that color, got any more pics of it?

Default Hey there

Looks good from the pics, That will be an LT1 car, not LS1, Don't know if you were specifically looking for a car with an LS1 or not. I'll find ya and talk to you later.

Oh yeah, that's right. The first WS6 was 96.

I paid 7500$ for my 98 M6 Formula with 46k miles, so i think 7300$ for a 95 with over 100k miles is steep

you got one hell of a deal because every LS1 bird i looked at was between 12-14k with that amount of miles by me.

i thought i got a good deal spending 12.9 on mine with 24k miles.

Only thing messed up on it is the dashboard that has cracks. Other than that the car has never been in an accident, the paint is in good condition. Car was owned by a man in his 40's and he was moving up north so he had to sell the car quick.

I recently paid $5000 for my 99 4spd auto w/ 84k miles, new wheels, exhaust, and cold air filter. Really got a steal on this one tho i know. Some people can be really negotiable, some not.
