18500 for a starting priceseen as though its ca. smog legal... i was just throuh camarillo on my way back from l.a... weird

[Huskerz1]

Very nice car! Very low miles. It's definitely worth $18,500. However, it'll be hard to get imo. If I was in the market I'd give it a look for around $16,500. Don't take it as an insult. It's just the Fbody market isn't real good imo. I'm seeing nice 03 Cobras go for low $20's. Once again, NICE CAR.

[bluefields88]

I'd put it out for $20,000 OBO

[Rickys S/C Z28]

16,500 sounds good

[B01SS]

nice car

[tonyjnjz]

i wouldnt take less than 18k for the car if i was you as its not just a regular ss but an slp one..def makes it more rare and valuable.....20k obo

[2001SSCamaro#2516]

Thanks for your responses. Those figures are about what I thought they would be. I forgot to mention the original SLP installed bilstein suspension too.
I really like this car and have always wanted a new SS since I was a kid. For me to sell it will be a last resort. I always hoped to be driving it until I am 80.

Thanks again.

[tonyjnjz]

no im pretty sure all 4th gen ss's are NOT slp cars..and very few came with the suspension package...sounds likey your car has 6-7k worth of slp mods according to the sticker..def makes it more rare and valuable..hang on to it

[tonyjnjz]

are all ws6's slp?? no none of them are..only firehawks....ss's arnt distingished like hawks as to there slp status

[clowe]

take no less than 20 thousand,the car is like new,and will be a collector car one day.

[minesfasterx2]

20,000

It's a great car and with the options you should be asking 18-20k for it. It's sad though, you probably won't get it. I bought my '01 SLP SS with 28k miles on it for 14k back in June. The guy wanted 16k, but I had to bring him down. The thing is, when I bought my car it was in June of last year, and the bank told me they couldn't give me a loan for 5 years unless it was an '01 or newer. Now that it's a new year they may not loan for 5 years unless it's an '02 or newer. I could be wrong, but if I'm not the loan would be for 3 years and the payment could be really high for an 18k loan. Even if it was 12K the payment could be around 300 or so.

[Ripper415]

ask 20k with the knowledge that youll actually get around 18-19k.

[Jerry01ss]

i just got mine with 8500 miles on it and they were asking $19500 so somewhere around there the bluebook might say less but its worth it!!!!

[greatwhiteZ28]

always ask more like 22 then drop to 20 making the sell go by better

[Ripper415]

only prob with asking too high a figure up front is that it discourages potential buyers who may be willing to pay 18-19k. if you're not too concerned with selling it right away go ahead and list it for like 21-22. but it may sit around for months w/o any takers. but if you drop the asking price to 20 or less itl be sold in days/weeks.

I bought 02 SLP Camrao a couple months ago for $21000. It all the slp options except the Auburn Diff. and it had more than 50,000 when I bought It. With the low miles you got and the rarity(is that how you spell it) of the car I wouldn't let no one touch it for under $22,000. :}

I bought an 02 Camaro SS with 8K miles. All SLP upgrades and has never been in the rain for $20,500 for what ever it is worth...

[tonyjnjz]

wow 21k for an ss with 50k miles??? i paid 19,500 for my 500 horse monster with 17k on the clock and 3k fikse wheels on her :D

[bluefields88]

ya, I paid 12,000 for mine with 47k on it completely stock except for a K&N air filter. did you buy from a dealer?

[2001SSCamaro#2516]

Wow I can see there are a lot of price differences. It seems that the ones that are mostly stock go for higher prices.

[tonyjnjz]

indeed...old men that have money and want it for collectability want it 100% stock with low miles.....since a guy on here paid 21k for your car with 50k miles its def possible for u to get a good buck for yours..give it a shot...spring is coming so u could get lucky

[redwolf28]

I think the difference in price between modded and stock cars worries people, because they are unsure of the quality of the modifications. I recently perchased 01 SS to replace my 02 z28 (totaled Dec 2006 RIP) and most of the mods done to it were done by knucleheads. From the drilled and slotted rotors (which do have a rotation direction) put on the wrong sides of the car, to a stereo system that look like little kids installed it. My brother, a Diesel mechanic, could have done better. If your mods are well done and clean you should not take less than 18K. Just my .02

It's not just the quality of the mods, Its the mods themselves, Especially on certain cars,It breaks my heart to see some of the cars on here,gorgeous super low mile,SS convertibles, being destroyed with ridiculous mods, There is NOT an endless supply of these cars, + nice stock ones are disapearing fast,my 98 built in may 97 will be ten years old already, when it comes out in the spring. In another ten years everybody wll be looking for the most unmolested one they can find, + will pay more for the originality.
Every mod costs money, to put on, but at the same time is making the car worth less, + probably shortening the life of the car,because once a car gets modded it, usually keeps on getting modded more + more as time goes by,but the longer a car stays stock,the better chance it will stay that way in the future,+ in general an unmodded car gets treated better,+ in the future will definetly be worth more.

[ls1owner4lfe]

Will a cutout or any cat back lower the re-sale value?

exactly. the only real performance mods ive done to my car is an slp lid, and a cai, both of which can easily be put back to stock when i sell the car someday. i also had the tb ported but from an external inspection theres no way to tell that. im still toying with the idea of getting some lt's and ory this spring but now im thinking in a decade or 2 it will hurt the selling price. so its either power now, or less money later....tough decision.

yes

[bluefields88]

I made it so all my mods are reversable. I kept all my old stuff. you can buy a stock SS muffler from SLP if you wanna go back to stock. I dunno why you'd want to besides having a stock setup for resale. maybe in 30 years our cars can be on barret jackson and they'll look at the stock-ness or something. I dunno.

I dont think an exhaust mod or air lid is that big of a modification to matter. Headers might be. Heads, Cams, Body kits, and other drive train components might be. I think people prefer stock so they can mod them theirselves if they choose. My 2c.

[Ripper415]

I think people prefer stock so they can mod them theirselves if they choose.

actually most people prefer stock because they would assume a stock car hasn't been abused or raced like a modded car has. even though thats not always the case, in general it is true. the point of doing mods is to make the car faster and give it more power, which is needed for racing. if you just use the car as a sunday driver and never run it wot or full out you wouldnt care about getting more power into it. that's what prospective buyers are thinking about....at least thats what i thought before buying my ss last year.

[TRY ME GT]

I would start at 20 grand. I bought my 2000 SS with 8k on it for 22k back in 03. I think they was a much higher demand for our cars at that time though. I would ask 20 in the hopes of getting 17,500 or 18,000. Good luck.. and please KEEP THE CAR!

[NeedanSS]

I paid 16k for a '02 SS w/all SLP options except for the painted grille. It has 64k miles on it.

price was inline w/ KBB, and I was having alot of trouble finding black/black, M6 t-top. Not to mention true SSs are gold around here.

Your car is rare enough with the color/trans combo; all the SLP stuff helps even more. Your mods are pretty conservative and I don't think they'll hurt too much. If you were in the southeast you could get 20k pretty easily I think. I don't know much about the CA market. Local availibility has alot to do w/it IMO.

[FBODYREDDEVIL]

Just bought my stock '99 pewter SS for $15.5K from the dealer...well kind of. I actually traded my Audi A6 for it. But the paper work put it at that price. It was listed at $16.9K which I think was low for a dealer price considering the others I saw in Autabuy and Deals on Wheels. The dealer next door had a 99Z with 75K miles listed at the same price.
Hope that helps.

[davebowtie]

sometimes automobiles are like real estate. the price depends on location...
as a fellow Californian an asking price of 20K sounds fair, given the lowww mileage and options/modifications. but I wouldn't take less than...18K,
Remember how much these cars were when new? (assuming you didn't get a total "good guy" deal)
