What's the car worth? I know we are biased here cause I love these cars but trying to get a real world idea of what these cars are going for. 1999 6 speed Hugger orange ss. 24707 miles. Spotless. Never seen rain. Longtube headers, mild cam and intake. Otherwise bone stock.

I think 13900.00 for the ss and 12500.00 for the z28. Z28 has 85000 miles and ss has 24000.

$13,900 seems quite reasonable for a '99 HOSS M6 with 24K miles....maybe even cheap. Mild cam and headers is probably a slight deduction. Most want them stock. But who can argue with more HP? I'd value a clean, 1-2 owner, '99 SS M6 in any color with 24K miles at approx. $12.5K-$13K. A 10% premium for the HO seems pretty fair imo. I've seen others asking 15-25% premiums...not that they are getting that.

With 60,000 miles difference between those two HO's, I'd consider the SS the FAR better value. That's a no brainer to me. The SS should be a lot easier to sell imo. Considering the SS is closer to stock than the Z28, is a preferred upgrade, and has 60K miles less...I'd figure that one at $5K more than the other....at least on paper. The Z28 does look wicked though. If I were placing numbers on them I'd say $14K-$15K/$9-$11K.

With out going into a lot of detail this is a pretty accurate pricing reflection for the current market. You will sell the 99 HOSS pretty quick at $13900 so be ready for a lot of phone calls because at 24K miles that is by far one of the best deals I have seen in a while usually they are up around $20K (although I always felt this was overpriced)

That is a steal for a Hugger SS with those miles. I have been offered $16,500 for mine and I passed. It is a '99 M6 Hugger SS, T Tops with White leather and 31k.

Over the years I too have turned down some nice "offers" for cars and collectibles I owned....and was not ready to sell. I even had some people make me promise to give them the right of first refusal if I ever offered that item for sale again. But, when I went back to some of those people later on, all of a sudden they had no money or no interest or didn't even acknowledge they ever made such a statement. You know the story, we've all been there.

The only true offer is when the check or cash is in hand and both parties are ready to sign transfer documents. Up to that point, "offers" are just another form of flattery and puffery. For the 10 years I did classic car shows I often got "offers" for my cars. And I also knew that when pressed, those offers would just disappear in a pile of excuses....let me talk to the Mrs, check with my bank, do some research, check with my mechanic buddy, etc.

Oh man! You nailed it. I'd be a wealthy man if every offer came to fruition. It's all talk and showing off 99% of the time
