BriansSF-GA, no offense taken at all, but 'live and learn'. You personally won't be owning a 10,000 miles 2002 WS-6 for much less than anything in the high teens. The dealership is spot on and will get that price or very close to it. There are 'premiums' involved with cars like these and buyers for them. As far as the new car analogy, I'm speaking to the LS1 crowd here on this site. $19,000 - $20,000 for a like new 2002 WS6 LS1 ( and yes, a garage kept 10,000 miles car can be like new despite the age) can be a deal for an LS1 lover.
Here are a few examples of what I am talking about. Yes, these are asking prices but these ultra low mileage examples are what the OP is talking about, and supports my argument as well about premiums for cars like these. No one has to to buy one, but to think people are suckers for paying $19,000 -$20,000 for one is an opinion not based on fact or real world sales. We are talking 2002 WS6 10,000 miles (or close) cars, not base T/A's, or other years, or higher mileage. Here you go:

First, I did not call anyone a sucker or infer anyone was a "sucker". If that is how you interpreted it, then so be it. There is enough name calling on forums to begin with and I choose not to participate in that side of it.
Second, I agree to disagree ... we each have an opinion and they are different .... it is that simple! Isn't that what forums are about? ... sharing of opinions in most cases.
