Well make sure its not an actual failing cat converter, some shops can read the air bag code and see the real hidden story behind it, 3rd it's a 13yo car rust on a frame is common and no reason to repair it unless it's rotten through. 86k is considered a low miles car, how's the transmission on it?
My best suggestion is if you really are considering the car take it to a reputable shop have them do a full inspection plus read the airbag & engine lights, run a carfax to see if milage is true. If all checks out then not a penny over $2600 (in the real world this car doesn't sell for over 3k) the owner will be listing that car for a year at 3500... No one will take the bait at that. The average price for a regular SS or LS is $2000

wow thanks!
sorry I posted the question, my first post, in the wrong area.
Gonna re-post in the correct spot. If you'd copy and paste that response for comments, that would be great.

I'm in North Canton.
I like your blue '04 SS. My 2nd favorite color.
Very nice!
Awesome pic with the beautiful home behind it.

OK, Canton is not all that far away (about 1 hour or so). Ever consider going to a Monte meet? The guys in in Michigan have a fall meet coming up that I am thinking about going to.
And thanks for the compliments on my pic. The transparent hood was a photoshop trick done by ChibiBlacksheep and it was taken when we were at the GM Nationals a couple years ago in Carlisle PA.

Fall meet is September 12th. I am still thinking about going this year (I went to the spring meet). Last I knew, some of the crew from New York are planning to be there this fall.
