Here's an ad of a 2001 SS that is for sale I am looking at. What's it worth??? 2001 M6 45k miles. Look to be nice mods!

2001 Chevrolet Camaro SS, black with black interior, t-top car. Excellent interior, no stains, no cracked or damaged panels. Paint and all body panels are in excellent shape, probably better than most. Paint has only been touched with Zaino products. Front bumper has small spider crack in it.

I paid $14,300 for my 2000 SS 6 months ago with 35,000 miles, bone stock. depending on the demand in area, you can probly get $15,000-$15,500 for it I would imagine, if not a little more. Some people do not like to buy moded cars in fears of it being abused.

While I agree 100% with Jays, and have never personally bought a modded car for the very reasons he stated, my present Camaro is modded to the same extent, if not more than the one you're looking at. Yet, I take EXTREME care of mine, and when I do nail it, I'm certainly not bouncin' it off the rev limiter thru the entire gearbox. Yes, we all "Put her through the paces' once in a while, that's why we own these cars, but find out a little about the owner, if you can. if he's in his 30's or over, he probably has a mortage and doesn't want unexpected car bills due to abuse. I just dropped 12K into mine, and I'm going to beat the crap out of it.

I would try autotrader.com, just search as if you were buying a Camaro and see what other SS's are going for in your area. Sellers tend to sell cars a little higher than what they're really worth at this site, but atleast it gives you a ballpark figure. I don't know if you're mods will hurt your resale that much as long as you have a # matching engine, and the stock rims available, it should'nt lower your value that much. Remember buyers of SS's tend to be collectors looking for a car as stock as much as possible (despite what others might say!). Good luck.

In truth, if it was my decision, I'd have a professional mechanic put the car up on a lift and look over the entire vehicle for such things as leaks, stains, cracks, and other such indicators of wear and abuse. Because the car has been modified with high-end, brand-name parts, you may have discovered a true gem since the costs of purchasing these aftermarket enhancements new can be quite lofty. Assuming the car is inspected by a professional mechanic and passes with flying colors, the seller is most likely taking a sizable financial hit on the cost of the upgrades even if you wind up paying as much as $17,000 for the Camaro. Remember: The list price of a fully optioned Camaro SS in 2001 was anywhere between $32,000 - $36,000, depending on its location and the scruples of the dealership. Also, 45,000 miles still qualifies as "young" as far as modern, fuel-injected vehciles go, assuming they haven't been abused or neglected.

As a final bit of advice, check on Edmunds.com and KelleyBlue.com for accurate resale values on a 2001 Camaro SS in "excellent condition" with 45,000 miles on the clock. Then, factor in a bit extra for the performance mods, since you won't have to bear the full financial brunt of purchasing them brand new and having them professionally installed.

Good luck and let us know what you come up with!
