I have been out of the f-body world for 4 years, so I need your help with a car I'm considering buying. I'm looking for a convertible as my daily driver and have located a Navy Blue Metallic Camaro SS with white interior. It is an A4 (which I want for my DD) with white interior and no SLP options. I have verified with SLP that it is an authentic SS. It has 31k miles. What do you think is a fair price. I'll probably put 8k miles a year on it for the next year or two and would like to avoid losing a ton of money when it comes time to sell it and buy a 5th gen.

FWIW, there were only 93 NBM SS convertibles made in '01.

 

Sounds like a nice car. If it's in mint condition I'd say $17K is about right.

 

$17K might be a touch high. I'd say it'd be fair for a seller to *ask* for 17 on a car like that, but they should be willing to negotiate down to the 15K range.

 

I completely misread the first post, I think 17k would be an average (fair) price to pay for a low mileage 99 SS Vert.

 

You're right -- you did misread it. He's talking about buying an '01.

I can't imagine a '99 SS with 31K on it going for 17k. That's too much.

 

I paid 16k for an absolutely gem mint 00 SS (ttop) with 24k on it. I don't think 17k is too much if the condition/mileage is as good as you say.

 

Theres a beater 01 SS Vert here in Ocala for sale...I think he's asking 12,000.
I know I can get it for 10,000. Its so beat up though..also been wrecked.
And high miles....

 

Thanks guys. The asking price is $17900. I was thinking they would probably take $17k. That seems like a fair price, but not really a great deal.

 

1 meeeelion dolllars!!

 

God, I must have been on Crack. I meant 01. I was thinking about how much I paid for my 99 WS6 when I wrote that.

I think 17k is a reasonable price to pay for an 01 SS Vert with relatively low mileage.

Hopefully I've finally made some kind of sense.

 

I appreciate everyone's feedback. I ended up buying a '96 Collector's Edition Corvette convertible, instead. Hopefully, this car will keep me occupied until the 5th gen Camaro is available.

 

Well that just went a whole different direction didnt it?

 

I was looking at lots of different convertibles....mostly C4s and 4th gen Camaros. A local deal came through on a CE C4, so I jumped on it.
