What's a Fair Price for this '99 Coupe?
'99 Coupe
Torch Red
Black Interior
6 Speed Manual
41k Miles
Overall Condition Good (to excellent with some detailing)
Options
Magnesiom Rims
Dual Roof (red painted and Acrylic)
Sport Seats
CD Changer
Active Handling
HUD
Dual Zone Air
Power Tele/Tilt Wheel
6 way power passenger (and drivers)
Memory Package
BSM's
Fogs
Twilight Sentinal
Mats
Not Z51
Car stickered for north of $47k new....
Aftermarket Items
Borla Exhaust
Upgraded sway bars and Z06 shocks (again, not a Z51 to start with)
Issues:
Needs tires
HUD control "Page" button broken

Seller asking $18,500
I am thinking something closer to $16k is more reasonable and in line with market?
Thoughts?

Without the issues you mention, I'd say that the asking price is fair(at least in my region). Find out how much to get the mentioned replaced and repaired and use that as a bargaining chip. Doesn't hurt to start a little lower; you can always counter offer up, not down.

Looks like you got about the same options as my 99 that I bought 2 years ago (mine has the F45 suspension). I paid $19k for mine then, but it also included 4 new tires mounted on "thin spoke" wheels from a 2001.

Be careful.
When I was selling my 3000GT my asking price was $5000 (which was, at the time, easily the cheapest in the area on cars.com/autotrader, and the only 2nd gen under $7K with less than 80K miles).
Someone called and offered me $3000.... I hung up on him...I ended up getting close to my asking price less than 2 weeks later.
Offering 14K could definitely be insulting to him...

I'd say around $16K would be a fair price. You have to figure in $600+ for new tires + the HUD button replacement.

Borla exhaust systems are known for their 'drone.' It's music to the ears of some and a deal breaker for others.

Since it needs tires i would agree at $16,000 to $16,500 is a good price. If it had new tires and no other problems then its worth $17,500-$18,000 with those miles!

I'm guessing that he is hoping for $17,500.00 to $18,000.00. If I were the buyer I'd be trying for $17,000.00. Be sure to check the completed sales on Ebay to see what they are actually selling for.
