http://www.kbb.com/KBB/UsedCars/PricingReport.aspx?ManufacturerId=9&YearId=2002&VehicleClass=UsedCar&VehicleId=3527&SelectionHistory=3527%7c14427%7c52233%7c0%7c0%7c135352%7ctrue%7c135441%7ctrue%7c135432%7ctrue%7c135390%7ctrue&PriceType=Retail&Mileage=18000&ModelId=368&Condition=Excellent

but this is a fully loaded 2002 SS 35 anniv coup with less miles than that advertised above.  20k for retail on this car, i would expect to pay a couple thousand less if dealing witha  private seller who cant offer me any incentives like dealer warranties or anything like that.

so you are asking for 30k for a cam, which i am in the process of doing in my car, and cost me about 600 dollars, nitrous, which i have on my car, and my kit is more advanced than urs and it costs me about 1000.

that is unrealistic, prehaps u will get lucky and some poor sap will buy the car.  yes its clean, yes its fancy, but a body kit doesnt add retail value to a car.  like i said in my first post, i could buy 2 cars elsewhere identical to that one for 50k and still feel ripped off.
if this car MUST go, i would see if u can get 25-27k for it, and be open to offers in the 20-21 range.  if u for some reason paid almost 50k for it and ur looking to get ur money back out of it.... i feel sorry for u, and u should have come here first so we could talk u out of it.   

its a beautiful car, but nowhere near the 50k range.  late model cars are not collectible, so thats not a selling point.  no telling what is going to be valuable in 20 years.  and the 35 anniv SS package isnt that rare, theres a few of them running around here in Iowa City (come on... in IOWA!  which strangely enough is where the car originates).  you have a coulple G's in performance mods, maybe one or 2 in the external visual, and a few hundred in engine dressup. 

it is very difficult to get people to buy a car + cost of mods.  usually a seller just eats that money, because a mod isnt an investment.

If you actually were aware of all these things to begin with and u were hoping to con some poor sap into paying 2x for a car, dont post on a forum.  its going to get poopoo'd on very fast and anyone reading the add will see what we have to say. 

Alot of us guys are always in the market, and if the deal is right we'd jump, but if u want to get even close to realistic, ur going to have to come down into the 20s, because to be perfectly honest, thats all that 6 year old car is worth
