what it sold for...
Thought I would start a thread and talk about what it actually sold for, so people can get a better perspective on pricing. Ofcourse location, condition plays, so I'll post mine.
Sold a 2000SS, 33k miles, 6sp, with strange 12bolt, 33k and a few other bolton's for 10,700 last may. Listed it first for 11,500 and ended up selling for 10,700 after three months on the market. private sale.

March of 2014 we were looking for an SS for my wife, after searching seriously for about 6 months. We found the 2001 SOM Convertible M6 SS for her with 46k on the clock, bone stock, and in Florida. Private owner wanted $14,500, and we agreed tentatively at $13k. Drove to FL to pick it up, and the top was a little rougher, and there was a ding in the driver's side quarter panel that wasn't described, so we ended up getting it for $12,500.

Great thread, last April I picked up a 97 T/A WS6 with 18k, car was a beauty, solid 9/10 I paid 11k for it, I ended up selling it in October to help with buying my new truck, I got 11k for it with just a tad under 20k on the clock. sure miss it, but now I want to spend under 7 for something with higher miles that i will drive more often

Someone came up with this idea a few years back. This is a fine idea in a perfect world but unfortunately quite a few owners/sellers are less than honest about pricing. No one likes saying they paid $xx,xxx when it might have been a bit too high, and then there are sellers that claim they got $xx,xxx when they in fact did not. Apparent steals are nothing more than salvage title cars (not mentioned). The prices posted won't represent an accurate read on the true values. It's like using ebay sales figures when many cars listed as 'sold' are nothing more than driven up shill figures with no actual sale occurring. It can be very misleading even if 75% of the people posting here are honest. How do you separate fiction from reality? Condition is such an important aspect too. Excellent in one person's eyes may be just 'fair' to another.
Sorry to be negative but I've been around the hobby for far too many years, actually decades now.
For those that will read this thread, take each price with a grain of salt.

i hear ya guys, best we can hope for is people to be honest, i've been at this 20+ years. let's try to keep this thread to transactions only. my point in starting it is to make transparent the information about these cars, I actually want to see more cars bought and sold and market relevant prices so they can be enjoyed.

I have had many of these cars and paid prices all over the place. I think this thread is kind of useless because there are too many variables. There are also a ton of people that will make ridiculous offers on really nice cars until they find someone in a bind or that doesn't really care for the car in the first place. I will bite though for your amusement. I paid $4k dollars for my wife's 2000 Z28 RS 6spd w/ 147k on the clock about 6 years ago from a dealership that would rather not let it go to auction. It was in good shape but not perfect and was mostly stock. I paid $6500 for my 2000 Z28 auto with 97k on the clock in good shape but not perfect. I cammed it, added bolt ons and sold it with 120k on the clock for $6k. I paid $9500 for my 2000 Formula Firehawk 6spd. hard top in excellent shape with 70k on the clock. They only made 11 in 00' in that configuration. I just traveled 1700 miles to buy a 91' 5.7 TPI Z28 for $7.5k with 99k on the clock. All of these were bought because they were what I wanted for what I was willing to pay and that's all that actually matters in this hobby.
