00 Camaro SS LOW Miles $$? I'm a T/A guy but I've come across something tempting, I need to be able to get out of it in case it doesn't do it for me,
The car, 2000 Camaro SS all original, with 6000 miles, its a M6 car grey cloth, exterior is the Dark blue, I don't think they made many of these in this color, with that said I am not a Camaro guy and I also know the DK blue is one of the least desirable WS6 colors, is there a source for number? and how to verify its a SS? thoughts and opinions on price as well,
thanks

That above thread gives breakdowns. Over 500 M6's in NBM in 2000 (11% of Camaro production in NBM). It's not a scarce color. It's also popular imo. I like it a lot. Imo no premium or discount for this car over other colors. The 6000 miles is nice though. I'd figure the car in the $13,500-$15K range. If it helps any there was a 1999 A4 with 9500 miles being advertised earlier this year for $13,500 and it wasn't selling. Figure that at $13K tops. And then add $1,500-$2,000 more for your car (less miles, 1 model yr newer, and M6).
If you know TA's, I'd figure the 2000 SS M6 comparable to a 2000 M6 Trans Am. The WS6 is approx $1500-$2000 more at this level.

Just to add one thing to the above, regarding your question about SS verification, all you have to do is check the SPID sticker for a specific RPO code: WU8. As long as that code is present, and the VIN on that sticker matches the car's VIN, then it's an original SS.

I also like that color and really like the cloth interior. If this 6k miles car is an excellent condition, one owner, garage kept, clean title example I would buy it at $15k in a heartbeat.

$17,500 would have been a strong price for a 2000 WS6...and very strong for a 2002 SS....let alone a 2000. They will apparently have it for quite some time.
Ad had the wrong price? More than likely the seller changed their mind, for whatever reason. The majority of on line ads give the ability to edit your ad at will. The last car I posted for sale in 2015 I must have edited that CL ad half a dozen times over several days to make it as 100% perfect and accurate as I could. And what motivated seller doesn't immediately check their ad once posted (even newspaper ads) to ensure it's 100% correct?

I always laugh when I hear stuff like this ("wrong price listed") from a seller. I looked at a 1980 Firebird earlier this year, as soon as I called the seller the first question he asked me was, "which ad did you see and what was the price listed?" I was a bit surprised by this, but just answered the question honestly. He then said, "my wife posted some of the ads and that price is much lower than I wanted, I'll honor it for you but for anyone else it will be higher." I probably should have just hung up the phone right there, but I went to look at the car anyway because it was so close to home and seemed like it could be a good deal. It wasn't a bad car, but I didn't end up buying it for a few reasons. The main point here is the price though - he said that he was going to raise it right after I left because it was listed "wrong". He never did that, and the car has been relisted at the same old price at least two other times since I went to see it in April. I wonder how many other folks have gotten the same story from him? He was certainly a nice guy and the encounter was otherwise pleasant, but the price thing isn't really believable as it could be so easily fixed if that was really the case.
