Hey guys I've been wondering what my car might be worth. I have a triple white firebird trans am convertible WS6 6 speed. It has 96,000 miles on her some of the work that has been done to it. Trans was rebuilt by D&D performance (with in the last 3,000 miles) I upgraded all the standard parts that should be up graded. It has Livernoise Motorsports stage 2 heads and cam package. Fast 92mm intake and throttle body. QTP stainless 1-7/8"- long tube headers, off road Y-pipe and Borla adjustable exhaust. Pro 5.0 short throw shifter, Monster stage 3 clutch and Tick adjustable clutch master cylinder. Brand new wheels ZR1 replica 19" in the rear and 18" in the front. Bridgestone re-11 in the rear 305 30 19 and Bridgestone pole position in the front 255 40 18.
This is a tough one to call, normally triple white can fetch some extra, but considering the miles, I think thats out the window, mods seem to be nicely done, but mods can scare off quite a few, 6 spd is a plus, not sure if it is the pic but top appears a tad dirty, what kinda shape is it in? have OEM rims? I think the black rims hurt, especially on a "triple" white car, this is all speculation, my guess is take the first 8-10k thrown at you, also keep in mind it depends on location, and more then anything who is looking, most people do not want a vert

Yeah there are a couple of spots that I'm unable to get out other then that it is in good shape. The interior is spot less the white seats are super clean the paint is near flawless. I do have the oem ws6 wheels also. I would have a hard time only taking 8,000 to 10,000 for it. This one might have to stay a part of the family. I was one of those people not wanting a vert but I fell in love with the triple white.

The highest I could push this to would be $12K....though I think you'd be fortunate to find a buyer at that level. The car would have to be stunning and perform flawlessly to get that much. $9K to $11K would be more reasonable. You could probably find a low mileage stock example (approx 15K-19K miles) in the $17K-$18K range, though not very easily in triple white. Then subtract for what an extra 80K miles is worth to you or the next buyer. I punched that into KBB and it gave a 80K mileage premium of $4600. I'd pick $6400 ($800/10K miles). That would place the car around $10,600-$11,600. I'd expect a dealer to price the car at $12K-$14K. I pick this sort of "backwards" method of pricing because it seems there are more nice cars for sale on line and their condition tends to be pretty consistent when in the 10K-20K mile range. Consistency is harder to find when the miles are high.
For 96K miles the top looks pretty white to me. Put it up for sale with your asking price and see what you get. Clean WS6 M6 verts don't grow on trees. And it seems if you do have one it's a 2001-2002 in black or red....or an anniversary car in white/blue (1999) or yellow/black (2002). I sort of see the 1999-2000 verts as the lesser of the group. Then the 1998's (so few left + the first year) and then the 2001-2002's.

Well I think I'm going to hold on to her. I have a lot of money invested in her, for me to feel comfortable getting rid of her I would need at least 15,000 for her. I have about 13,000 Invested and that's not included in what I paid for her. I know you don't get back everything you put into it so I'm just looking to get back about 35% of what I put into it. Which would put it near the 15,000. Im planning on trying to move in the next year and hopefully I will find a place with a pole barn or enough room to build one. Then I can start my car collection and this bird will be the first in my stable. Then the next one will be a C5 Z06. Thanks for the responses guys.
