Default 2002 camaro ss

Trying to find out what a low mileage SS should sell for.

2002 Camaro SS
Red/Red Hard Top
6-speed
Leather

New/Showroom condition less than 4000 miles. Always garaged, never driven in snow or rain.

window sticker and SLP documentation and all other paper work from when owner purchased the car. 2 owners no accidents or damage


Thanks for any help guy's. I am looking to maybe purchase this vehicle and really dont want to over pay. I know what KBB shows but looking on autotrader and such kinda tells a different tale.

That link shows a car with 40,000 miles, not 4,000. That makes one hell of a difference plus the car is heavily modded. How is that new/showroom condition?? I also see 3 owners, not two. Are you talking about a different car or is the link accurate?
If this is the correct car in the link, the price range should be in the $13,000 - $13,500 area. Very few are paying extra for mods on these cars unless the buyer absolutely loves what has been done to the car. If you are such a buyer, maybe pay up to $14,000, but that's about it.
If this is the wrong car, advise.

** You also said it was an SS. I think that is wrong too, and makes the price range I suggested too high. I'll wait to hear back from you before I go any further. Too many questions.

sorry, I was asking about the car that I described. The car in the link was sold a few months back.

The car that I ask about is at a dealer and their asking $19,000 for it.

OK, thanks for getting back because that was getting confusing.
For the car you describe $19,000 is actually a decent price. Many dealers ask $20,000+ for F-bodies with less than 10,000 miles and they get it too. It takes time but they do get sold in most instances. Always remember to throw the price guides out with cars such as these. KBB, NADA, everybody. It is no fault of the guides because it is almost impossible to constantly gauge actual sales figures to print out with accurate pricing. Premiums are always associated with ultra low mileage cars. If this car is truly mint and showroom as you claim I would not hesitate buying it for that price. Where can you get a new SS for $19,000?? It's like turning back the clock and getting a deal on top of it. You would NOT be overpaying. These are the type cars I really keep up with on both a personal basis and auction sales like BJ, Mecum, RM, etc... Best of luck!!

Here ya go NC01TA, the SS has made its way home to Indiana! The gentleman who ordered this car kept every single piece of paper work from when he began the ordering from GM/SLP until he sold it.
I even have a letter as to were he wrote GM asking to follow this camaro through the assembly line build,Gm refused but he did keep the letter and GM's refusal letter,lol
