Default Value question(already posted in firebird section

please don't bash me to much on lack of info and pics lol, been awhile since I seen it.

Had suddenly death in the family, it appears I will being getting me 98 WS6.
may be a few months before I get it. It was my younger brothers, smoker, interior smells like it, has wear and tear. About 100-120k miles.

Exterior has no dents but I a haven't taken a good look at in in a while, I do think the clear coat is starting to peel.
Probaly has mismatched tires(brand) not sizes.
In general he did not take pride in his ride. God know how often fluids got changed.
Will more then likely sale after I get it. Not fair to me he is getting fully loaded and I mean every option 2013 Avalanche. and I get his old beater.
BTW it is dark blue
Any idea on the value? Should I recover interior/carpet etc., at what point will I be spending too much. I will of course do all the fluids and clean it.
Clear Texas title. I know it is worth what someone will pay and I get without pic and specs you guys can only give a rough estimate.

I would fix for my 14 yr old son but last week I brought a 92 RS B4C/1LE with A/C. Ex Texas DPS car, still have the tag riveted in the door jamb for him. We are gonna work on together.

3rd Gens in good condition are starting to bring good money. Unfortunately the one you describe doesn't fall into that category. At least IMO, that is.

Based on the pretty vague description, I'd say it's worth 2-3 grand, if even that. A lot has to do with what all it needs, so we need more accurate info and pics.
