I've got a 2001 black WS6 Trans Am that I may want to sell. I would prefer to sell it to someone who would appreciate it rather than to a flipper. It's been sitting in the garage till I could replace the power steering pump, fuel pump, wire harness and alternator. No accidents or body damage, but it was a commuter. it has some mods and a tune. It's located in southern California. Looking for 8k. Mods are in the signature

 

I am assuming only $8k because it needs some work and is not running ??

post it on ls1 marketplace I am sure someone will buy it.

 

It hasn't run for a while, but it's been garaged. No, it's going to run before I sell it.. is that too low of a price?? Lol

 

^^^ Really need more info. How much mileage? How many owners? What else is wrong with it, perhaps a/c? Need tires? How about some photos?? No one can guesstimate the value with so little info. It would be a disservice to you and and anyone that wants to assess the value of their own rides. It could be too low of a price or it could be too high if it needs thousands of dollars and has 200,000 miles on it. Thanks in advance for any details and photos you can provide.

 

I am the second owner of this T/A. The previous owner was my brother in-law. It was his daily driver to and from work and he kept meticulous service records on it. I got it from him when he bought a Shelby. It had close to 160,000 when I got it but you couldn't tell by the care. I was in a car club when I got it. I put another 100,000 on it as my daily driver, (all fwy) while replacing the springs with Eibach, shocks with Bilstein's and a Corsa exhaust. When I got close to the 100,000, I decided to put an LS2 in it. Its a 408 from ERL (who used to advertise on here but have since gone out of business.) The heads. are 243 stage 2 from West Coast Cylinders and a mild cam to make it street legal here in California. The engine has less than 30,000 miles on it. It has a Racetronix fuel pump and harness aid a Monster clutch stage 2.
It's been garaged for several years because it stated blowing fuses with the fuel pump. It needed the updated wire harness. I purchased the fuel pump and wire harness but hadn't got around to replacing them. I then retired and bought an RV and got a new grandson and my priorities changed. I finally changed the wire harness, fuel pump, put a new power steering pump and alternator in and am getting a battery. I just wanted to know what I should be asking for. I would like to find someone who would appreciate it as much as I have. The 408 I put in was a little nostalgic. I was going for a tribute 6.6 liter.
edit:
forgot to mention. interior is in excellent condition. No rips or tears. Exterior, no dents or accidents but the paint is a little tired, it needs a good wax and buff. It will need tires and brakes. It also has the factory cd disc changer in the trunk and upgraded speakers. The AC worked when it ran last. It has high mileage, but it was cared for and garaged.



black on black T/A..lol

 

^^^ Thank you for all that info. Your car is so modified that it takes it out of the 'normal' pricing guidelines. Two owners and garage kept is a big plus in my book but 'tired' paint and the other issues reflect some serious $$$ being needed. Also, every single component of that car has well over 200k miles on it except for the items you replaced. More things will require attention in the near future. No getting around it.
Can you get $8,000 for it? Maybe??? It will sell to someone that can work on the car themselves versus someone that needs to take it to a shop every time, like me. I would not buy the car under any circumstances yet that one person you are seeking certainly is out there and will be interested. Definitely ask high in that $8,000 neighborhood, and if no bites, then lower the price until the phone starts ringing. Good luck!

 

If it was closer I would certainly be tempted lol

 

I understand the high mileage being a major factor. Out here you pretty much have a long distance to commute to work. I got this car already with high mileage, but it was so well taken care of that I thought, what the hell, if you gotta commute, have fun doing it. So, I kept it as a commuter. It was always garaged, and well serviced.
As for the performance upgrades it was stock when I got it and I made the gradual upgrades for fun since I was getting close to retirement. Both the previous owner and I are a couple of old guys so it wasn't raced around, it was just a hobby.
As you can see by the attached pictures, the high mileage doesn't show. People are amazed when they hear how much mileage it has.

 

So, if I read and did the math correctly, the car has about 300k miles on it in total? I understand that the engine is relatively fresh (30k), I'm just looking specifically at the engine bay and shaking my head in disbelief at the incredibly good condition for 300k compared to anything one would see from the rust belt (where *I* live). If the paint can be restored with buffing (which it looks like it can be based on the pics) that's a huge plus vs. needing a repaint (much more hassle and expense). You should see what a daily driven engine bay looks like on an IL car after just 1/3 of that mileage...LOL.

With a setup like that, on a rust free WS6, I'm sure you could get the kind of cash you're looking for in my area - especially if the paint just needs a buff/correction (no peeling, body damage, or deep scratches). I guess it might be typical for a car with that kind of mileage to still look that good in the engine bay when it's spent its life in southern CA, so it might not be a big deal in your area therefore harder to sell, but something like that would be a Unicorn here in Chicago.

Just saw the most recent pics above - interior looks exceptional for the mileage (~300k). That car would sell quickly for that price in my area.

 

lol.. yeah, it doesn't know what snow looks like, but it has been to the beach and Vegas... lol
There is no rust anywhere on the car. There are just some rock chips on the front and the spoiler has some clear coat fade. I did have to replace the center console armrest for being cracked, but that's typical. The rest of the interior is original. Just cared for. Oh, and I haven't had a chance to clean the engine compartment. It's still dirty... lol
.I appreciate the comments....
