You wouldn't even buy my 05 slightly modded SS ? J/K I'm not selling it yet! I paid $10,000 2 years ago on my 05 supercharged SS with 59k highway miles - that car is way overpriced. But I got one heck of a deal!

Default over priced

I would hate to hear what that car could say if it could talk. It is overpriced and it looks like it has had a hard life. Be wary of it. Check all
the fluids and struts. And it could be someone's old headache ?

Just use your best judgement....

Looks like a regular SS with a Razzi Kit, headlight covers. Nothing completely out of the ordinary, can be duplicate for a lot less of the asking price.
He hasn't sold it because he hasn't found the sucker yet, please, don't be the sucker.

Yeah overpriced. Almost 10 years old and over 100k miles, the value is more like 5k.

Everyone brings forth great points to watch for. As for me, I do agree with the generaql consensus, I'd be very skeptic of it and want to look over a lot of aspects of the car if I was seriously going to consider it. And mods don't justify a high price tag (especially when you consider, those mods probably were used to help beat the snot out of the car).
Mileage wise and age, it's not horrible for the right price, but everyone has given you great things to look at as far as abuse signs.
And reading the guy's listing, I really don't sense a lot of true "performance" mods. A lot of show stuff, but that's pretty much it (unless he's hiding something). And there is another issue, what is he hiding (if anything at all)?

From the engine bay pic, looks like it has a stock airbox, talk about performance.

From my engine bay pic, you can tell it is a stock airbox...until you look closer and see that it has been gutted. But I seriously don't think this guy has done any real performance mods to it.
