2002 SS anniverary edition I have a 2002 SS 35th anniversary edition im planning on putting up for sale soon. the car is all original. the car only has 13k miles. the car is in perfect shape. it completely stock. never abused and never raced. sits in the shop most of the time and was a one owner car. it has the 2 tone leather interior with the stitching in the headrest. its a 6-speed car. also has the CME. T-tops. its red with the anniversary stripes. everything works as it should. I also have the SLP build sheet/birth certificate. what do you guys think I should ask on this one? I've been watching the prices for a while on different sites and eBay.

Do a Kelly Blue Book estimate and take it from there. Sadly to say that most people will probably not give you nowhere near what that car is actually worth . 12 years old in mint condition with only 13K on it is awesome !!

Yea I have been looking a lot lately. I've seen other cars like this one that are anniversary cars with a few more miles than mine has for anywhere from 15k to 22k. Not sure what I will ask yet though.

You throw price guides 'out the window' for cars like these. Sales prices for Anniversary cars with 13,000 miles aren't documented enough. As you know you will get a nice premium for your car. It isn't a sub 10,000 miles version but darn close. With the sub 10,000 miles cars going for prices in the $22,500+ area I see no reason why you can't ask in the low 20's and settle for whatever amount you feel comfortable with. It depends if you are in a hurry too. Patience will get you more $$$. The market is thin and cash is needed. If in somewhat of a rush you may need to sell in the high teens. Best of luck!!

Thanks NC01TA. The car really is nice and I may regret this later! I was thinking about starting out around 20-21k. The car is like new. I'm sure I could come down on the price and sale it pretty fast if I needed to but I'm not in a bind to get rid of it. Do you think 20k-21k is a fair starting price?

The one advantage to these anniversary cars is that there are plenty on the market to bracket the price range. I had a 12K mile 6 spd convertible in my area 2 years ago (New England) that I was considering buying - it was for sale at $19,995 in dead of winter at a performance car oriented dealership. I don't see these being worth any more than equivalent 2002 WS6's verts which would pull about $17K to $19K with 12K miles....maybe $20K for an exceptional 1 owner, loaded vehicle. On the 2002 SS anniv cars I'd say 13K miles in a vert is available for $20Kish today....so subtract $1K to $2K from that for a TTop. Incredibly clean, unmolested, 1 owner cars for the mileage can add a few $K. At any time there are dozens of anniv cars for sale on Ebay and autotrader. The asking prices do tend to be inflated by 10-40%. The completed sale section on Ebay is closer to the truth.
Another way to approach this is to see what 2002 regular SS's go for in 12K mile condition. I've seen them go for $15K to $17K over the past 2 years with $16K probably being the norm. Add a premium for the anniversary version (typically 50% of the option when new). I'd add $2K. And add another 50% for the SLP add-ons (typically $1K to $2K). The anniversary cars were saved in high numbers and typically with low mileage. It's not hard to find one. If you are local to someone who really wants one of these and they won't travel to find one (or ship one) you might be able to get your price.
Here's the completed EBay listings of all RED 2002's over the past 30 days. There's a 15K one owner automatic that sold for $17K (no CME).
http://www.ebay.com/sch/Cars-Trucks-...%2520Color=Red
A listing of all completed 2002's with under 20K miles. A pair of black verts with 5K or less miles were available for under $18K....one 6 spd/blackwing and one automatic/CME. Looks to me like a winning bidder backed out on one of these as the car was up the next month at that same starting price. You can increase the amount of cars to compare against by looking at all 2001-2002 SS's and WS6's that actually sold on Ebay. One can easily adjust between model years ($1K less for 2001 and WS6's vs SS - usually +$1.5 to $2K for the Pontiac). Ebay may not be a perfect source, but it's useful. Asking prices tend not to be useful unless they are in the bottom 10-15% of all similar quality cars. Then you can figure that seller has already been whittled down to around what they want and near what they should get.

My car is an 01 SS M6, I am the third owner. The car had 37k miles, all original/stock great condition also CME. I was'nt really looking for red but the color did'nt matter that much. He was asking 17.5k, I got it for 15K. You have an AWESOME car! Hey you can always come down in price, i'd say start at least around 20k & go from there. Someone will want your car!

Very good ad! A very fair price. This isn't going to be the place to sell it though. Not likely. If you want the $$$, take my suggestion of Autotrader or Hemmings or both. Spending $45 for an ad to reach the right buyers makes sense for a car of your quality.

Thanks man. I've never used either one of them so I wasn't sure. I may try to do that this afternoon. I may try to put in on ebay if no one on here takes it. I've had a few people interested already and a few offers a little less than I would take. I am flexible on my price.
