Yes, you are right. Even if the car is MINT, $20,000 is over the top. Sounds like a dealership price. That $20,000 price range is limited to cars with even lower mileage, stock, and one owner.
$17,000 would be top $$. If the buyer just loved the color and every single thing about the car, then perhaps $18,000. Higher than that is just too much. There are many F-bodies for sale with around 20,000 miles on them. Between Autotrader and ebay (with caution) you should be able to find one which can be bought for prices around that $17,000 mark or even lower. Owners will ask more but no one pays asking prices. I'm sure you are aware of that. I guess I should have asked you if that car you are looking at is 'firm' in price or just asking??
Best of luck with your negotiations and search!

** Just a side note: I won't be able to follow-up on this if you have any other concerns. I'm not ignoring you or anyone else, I'll just be away from the computer for awhile.

Thanks and it is private seller... Yea I was nice and said $18500 and still wont sell it so I just mentioned well if no one buys and you decide thats enough call me. I need to find a GOOD deal on one. I used to have a 04 GTO just want the power back. Bought a little beater to save money and just tired of it. Always liked the ws6

500 miles to get a good deal on a car is nothing. A few days of traveling to get the right deal on the right car is so worth it rather than settling for a lesser car/deal just because it's closer. What's a few days in the lifetime of a car? (hopefully) nothing lol.
