6500 sounds about right. You might even offer a little less than that, I would offer 5k cash if you could, just to see how offended he gets, if he's not too offended, you may be able to get it for 5500 or so.... Have you taken it to a shop to have inspected? I would definately get under it and give it a good look.

the car looks really good it has some flaws but for 6300 bucks is not to bad IMO I checked it over for about a hour and let it run aleast 30 mins just to make sure it has no leaks and make sure it wasnt heating, Drove it home 150+ miles yesterday without an issue the passenger window needs a motor or regulator but i guess thats normal and the richmond gears has some roar or they didnt install them correct but i dont like richmond any way so they will be swapped with motive other than that i am happy as a **** eating possum. its a hell of alot faster than my lt1s were damn is all i can say

$5000 sounded closer but hey if your happy thats fine, salvage titles hurt cars values immensely but if its fixed and it runs good and your driving it that wasnt bad for an ls1 car. I know people that pay that for cars that were wrecked and hadnt been fixed just so that they could rob the motors and wiring out of them.
