Year, Options, Condition, Pics? Need a little more info to tell you if it is a good deal or not. More than likely i would say that its not a very good deal for that many miles. Yes SOM is a hard to find color and i would probably pay a little more than usual to to get one but when you are talking that kind of money for that many miles i would tend to stay away. Just taking a guess at this but i am assuming it is at a dealership or someone who really doesn't want to get rid of it? Just my .02. Good luck

Depends on what they sell for in your area. But too much IMO. I payed less than half of that for my m6 ws6 with less miles.

I paid $8200 a month ago for an A4 SOM WS6 with 73,300 miles on it. I've put about $1,000 in getting small things fixed and new gears.

Wrong section, but YES, $12,900 is way too much!! 100,000+ miles F-bodies don't sell for that kind of money, not even close. Even for CETA or anniversary cars it would be overpaying IMO. Educate yourself on pricing so you don't get hurt financially.

I would keep looking. That is definitely over priced for the mileage.

Well. I took my last day of vacation to drive a total of ten hours to look at this piece of ****. Its not even the original SOM its like a burnt orange. And it has epoxy holding on the mirror, caked grease on the floor mats, cracked hood. I should have shot the ba5tard. That car is hardly 5k. Let me know if anyone has a NICE SOM ws6 for sale. I have cash.

That's a shame. Another CL special
Look at the bright side. Imagine buying that car 'sight unseen' and having it show up in your driveway on a transport.
Seriously though, I'm sure you still want a nice F-body like you describe. Ask for opinions here about pricing, and just general thoughts about the car. You don't have to listen to any advice offered but sometimes it can bring a different outlook. Learn from this experience and it won't happen again. You are only out gas money and fast food, maybe a motel. Don't worry about it and don't let one bad experience sour you on owning an F-body. I won't get into CL cars, but this is rather common. Free ads draw some of the worst.

Too much. Paid $7800 for my TA with 72k miles. Not a WS6 but has a lid and $1400 exhaust system and clean as a button.

Damn you guys are lucky. In my area, its hard to find a LS1 F-Body for under 8k and if you do, they all have 130-150k miles.

The ones with 60-80k miles are all 11k and up.
