2002 35th LE SS
2002 35th LE SS I’m entertaining the idea of selling my 35th Anniversary SS M6 so I can finally get into the seat of a C6 Grand Sport or ZO6. It currently has 23,xxx miles and is in great condition inside and out! The interior is great shape with no tears in the seats or cracks in plastic. The exterior has typical rock chips in the front and I was going to have it repainted and the graphics painted on instead of decals. It has 2 small white scratches on the corner of the rear bumper that you can barely see. I have only had this car a few months and purchased it from Motorcars Las Vegas and drove it back to South Dakota with no problems. I have a clean and clear title in hand. Since purchase I have added the wheels, tires, tint, clear lid setup, and had it tuned by Sin City Performance. I have a stack of receipts from previous owners as well.
Engine/Drivetrain Mods:
Cam (unsure of size)
Ported/polished/milled LS6 heads
SLP longtube headers
QTP low profile electric cutouts (sounds like open headers and with the flip of a switch is quiet as stock)
MTI clear lid
Ported/polished MAF
Motive 3.73 gears
Suspension:
SLP springs in rear/BMR on front
SLP weld in subframe connectors
SLP driveshaft loop
Interior/Exterior:
Lou’s short stick
Hurst shift ****
Yofab t-top shades
Guage pod on A pillar (volts, temp, vacuum)
Pioneer Headunit
MTX 12” subwoofer in stealth box
Diamond Audio components in front and coaxials in rear all wired to an amplifier (sounds amazing)
Dynamat installed in trunk
OEWheels C5 Y2K deep dish 18x9.5/18x10.5 wheels
Nitto 305 drag radials on rear (approximately 300 miles on them)
Falken FK425 tires on front (approximately 300 miles on them)

Yikes! Selling after a few months is never a good thing unless you stole it for a great price. I have no idea what you paid but I hope it wasn't too high. With those low miles I have a feeling it wasn't cheap.
An anniversary car that has been heavily modified isn't your average sought after 'collector' car. Many people will love it but won't lay out the big bucks. The numerous posts over the past few years indicate that very little extra $$ is gained by modding. What you just paid for all those new mods is money gone.
The price guides are really shortchanging the anniversary cars IMO. Ex; Do you know in my zip code the difference between a 23,000 miles SS anniversary car and a 73,000 miles SS anniversary car is just $2,000? Sorry, that's just not realistic. The spread should be, and is, much higher. This is where the guides are messed up. Unfortunately people use these guides as the gospel instead of just using them as a 'tool' to assist them. A 'stock' 23,000 miles 2002 Camaro SS anniversary edition should fetch $15,000 at the very least if in excellent condition. With yours being in probably the 'good to very good condition' area (paint) and modified, I would say $14,000. Geez, I would hope so anyway. It is a thin market for your car as far as money goes. You could probably sell a dozen next week for $10,000 but not at $15,000. Ask whatever you like but be realistic. Lots of competition out there selling these cars. You have to be priced right. The following link is a one owner example and not sold at this time at $17k.

Agreeing with NC01TA, I hate to say it but modifying it, especially removing the LE wheels, makes it not much more valuable than a regular '02 SS. And regular '02 SS modified like that are around $12-13k in my area. I'd say close to $14k like NC said is accurate given the LE still holds a slight premium. Also fwiw, the 35th LE market seems to be pretty stale right now. I've seen a few of them for sale lately with low mileage and crazy asking prices. And they're not selling.
