Default How much is my 97 anniversary camaro worth?

Hey Guys,

I know this question is kind of hard to answer since not everyone has the same opinion on value but I wanted to get some feedback from other camaro owners as to what they think these cars are selling for.

I have a 97 white with orange huggar stripes 30th anniversary camaro. Has the 30th logos on the seats, houndstooth, etc. It has 80K original miles, t tops, automatic, power everything, new tires, new brakes, new plugs and wires, etc. Car is in amazing condition and I have plenty of pics available.

I have been trying to sell it for a few months and while I am getting enough people emailing and calling, I haven't been able to seal a deal. I know times are tough and not everyone is shopping for these cars but what should I be asking? Some have told me to ask 10K while others have told me to ask around 7K. When I look around on the internet to see what others are selling them for, the price range is crazy. I have seen some with a million miles on them and they are asking like $13K for them.

What do you guys think?

Thanks - funny thing is that someone on another thread just replied and said don't take any less than 10K for it.

I have been advertising it at $8500 which I think is more than fair but still haven't been able to sell it. Maybe I need to list it on ebay motors or auto trader and stop messing around with craigslist.

I would say 7k is about right. You may wanna list it for 8k and just let someone talk you down to 7k. I seen one just like this that was in mint condition at a Chevy dealership the other day for 8,400, and we know what dealership prices are like.

List it at $8499. Sounds smaller then $8500. It really depends on your area. Look at other canaria in your area and add a few extra $$.

People love high resolution pictures. Include as many as possible.

That seems very expensive. I got a 1999 Camaro, 80k Miles, T-Tops, Auto, Cloth, for 3700. It has a minor dent on the side, and I had to fix the power windows.

the 30th aniv cars are slightly more desirable than your car it has the older front end and dash but with the nice hood

These cars have not come to appreciate yet. I think they are one of the best deals in performance budget cars available today and I am in the automotive business. Bottom like, it's a 97, a 14 y/o car and you gotta get a cash in fist buyer most likely. I say the end of the world is $7500 real dollars. A dealer would likely pull up NADA book value for trade in if you just wanted to sell it and move on. Times are tough and it IS a buyer's market. Why do you want to sell it? I'd suggest either hanging on to it and ask $8500-$10k and expect to hang onto it for sometime or trade for something that you do want. I got my 96 SS with a fresh rebuild for the whopping sum of $4300. In 15-20 years these cars will bring some dough in good shape but for now, it is the lowest it's ever gonna be. Just my .02's.

I bought a 30th Anniversary earlier this year. Auto, regular white leather seats with the 30 logo, power seat, windows, locks, factory security, t top, clean Florida car with 110k on the clock. SLP CAI, Flowmaster cat-back. Came with a brand new set of Goodyear F1 275/40/17's on immaculate '02 SS wheels along with the factory white 5 spokes and Cooper tires. I paid 6K in PA. I like the traits of the 3rd Gen in the front end. Upgraded the headlights to Xenon bulbs for more light.
