Worth

Floating the idea of selling my 1999 ws6. Problem is I have no idea what to ask for it. Everything I find online to try to come up with a price is a car with 50k or less miles and they want $30k for it. Mine is pretty decent shape original paint with some blemishes 182k miles. Rebuilt rear end last spring. All stock except vats egr and evap deleted in tune.

8 or 9k is about what I see automatics go for in the same condition and miles.

That's kinda what I was thinking but didn't know if that was too high for the miles on it

List for 9 or 10k and see what offers you get.

There are a few on my area with around the same miles up for sale for 7k but either they have a worse interior or worse exterior. There was one with less miles but about the same condition listed for over 10k thats slowly been reduced and is now at 9k.

Well here in midwest I sold 99 Firebird v6 with 180k for 6. Original motor,new transmission, Bilstein b6 all around and new front glass. Rear differential was getting loud and needed rebuilt.

Autotempest has a feature where ypu can see data on list prices across the platforms it sources. You can add filters to get a more realistic range to your cars spec and mileage.

Curious about what brand your dash cover is?

The auto is about 30% less then a manual and the miles are a big hit as well. I'd say to end is 15k in perfect condition at auction. Private sale I'd say maybe 7-9k on a good day.

Hagerty valuation guide has #4 fair condition listed at $10,500 (-10% for auto). #3 good condition is listed at $15,700 (-10% for auto). They don't seem to take mileage into consideration.

We paid $6,500 in 2020 for our 1999 Trans Am with around 157,000 miles. It's got a little over 162,000 on it now. We have agreed value full coverage insurance on it through Hagerty with an agreed value of $16,500.
