I'm not sure about your area, but i gave alot less for my 00 Z with alot more miles. Mine was at 157k miles and i gave $5400. Also mine is an M6 and here you can expect to pay a grand more for the manual over the auto.

Car looks pretty good though. Check craigslist for comparison pricing.

The price is way out of line, there must be at least 5 grand profit in this car if they sell it for that.

Its an unmolested ls1. Its in a solid 95% great condition. Im willing to bet it hasn't been beat on that much. But it is a formula. But it is also a Pontiac. Its worth 8-9 in my opinion. You'll get 10 if someone really wants an unmolested ls1.

Sorry on my phone at work. Your right. It is a TA. It should go for 10-12 now depending on prices. But a for sure check would be nada or kbb.
