Default 01 SS.. Too cheap?

Saw this, looks like one hell of a deal if anyone is interested (54k on engine, 146k on body)

Might not be a real SS. But having a new motor dropped in it also hurts the price, so I would just check it out VERY closely.

The miles and motor kill the value, so try to go lower on price. Other than that looks like a decent car.

i agree, the car looks really clean for the mileage. check in the driver's door for the WU8 RPO code, denotes a real SS

just made the guy a right now offer, he declined, it does have a lot of miles.
seemed like he was in a haste, sounded like didnt have time to speak.
told me call back later
prolly thought i was some tire kicker, sucks for him
i was genuine about the offer.

You might want to do a check on mileage on the camaros. I bought my own 160k+ for 5k from the north. When I say north I mean as far north as you can go in the U.S.A. Lansing, MI. Even with the mileage on my car the car's value is between 9k-12k 9k being the low and 12k being excellent condition. BTW I'm over 200k and shes still kicking, no problems what so ever. I drove her *** all the way home.

This guy is offering a fresh motor, clean body, mileage or not its an easy flip for someone on the market and wanting to turn a buck.

The guys asking price of 7.7k is not un reasonable by any means.
If you do a check with SS options, Leather, Power everything, T-Tops, and 150,000 k miles, you’d see its worth the price range I’ve already listed.

Now no clue if its been in a wreck or what, or if the RPO codes show if it is a real ss. However still If any of that information is not true, or it has been in a wreck then it gives room on price.

But it sounds like this guy is motivated and knows how low he can go.

That car is my cousins and the car is in a fact a true SLP SS. It is mint for that many miles and a strong running car. Him and his wife have more cars than they know what to do with so changing cars like changing under wear is no shock to me.
