Default 2000 SS M6 Higher Mileage

I'm looking to buy soon with a budget of up to $11k or so. I found a local SS but higher mileage today for a lot lower than I was going to pay so am somewhat interested. Is the $8k asking price fair for 150k miles or should I be able to talk the price down?

Not an awful price but I have seen sub 100k cars sell for that $8 to 9k range I would think this is more of a $6500 to $7500 car at best and do think if you came in low your could prob make a deal at $7k. Any camaro ss you buy for $7k is most likely going to have its issues so I would just say expect for things to surface as it is a 150k mile car.

I personally would pay maybe 6k for that car, I know the one I have is auto, I found a extremely clean 2000 ss with 56k miles for 7,200 lol. Check out F-Body empire, plenty of cars being sold on there daily with way better deals then most craigslist adds. I found my deal through the Fbody empire facebook page, I would check it out.

Thanks guys. Yeah probably going to pass on that one then and go for something lower mileage. I will check out F-body empire. I've been looking for more places to find cars for sale and would be willing to pay shipping if the price is low enough on the car.

I'd rather pay a bit more for a much nicer car. Based on your budget, I think that should be no problem at all.

Good to know and I agree. Hopefully I can find a sub 80k mile car for that price.

Fwiw, I own a 1999 SS M6 with 19K miles and value it around $12K. You can find some pretty sweet 20K-40K mile SS's in the $8K-$10K range if you keep your eyes open.

The best bang for the buck is in 1998-2000's with 20K-45K miles. The price guides just don't give the low mileage enough of a premium.

Thanks for the perspective. Man, I would love a low maintenance low mile SS M6 for $10k or under. The thing that sucks is I live in MN and it seems like it's not the easiest to find one locally. I'm not really looking into making a drive/trailering something home, so may have to consider shipping/having someone check out a car from afar.
