Default What does a used ls6 sell for?

What is a decent asking price for a ls6 out of a 02 z with around 95k miles just recently had valve springs done and looked over go for now a day’s ? Asking because I have my 02 that was hit front left and an acquaintance I just met was looking for one for a project he’s doing and don’t really know what kind of price to put on it. Just full motor or complete driveline.

any help will be appreciated.

I see prices range from $4K to $5K with mileage as you would expect, more miles less money, less miles more money.
Sadly, since that's too rich from my blood...
Of course, if it's a local guy you don't have to worry about shipping, which is a plus.

Thanks. Didn’t actually know they were selling for that much. That just the motor or complete driveline ?

A buddy of mine who owns a C6 LS2 keeps telling me that my LS6 motor with low miles would go for around 10K. Go figure.

Another member here just bought an LS6 with trick flow heads and some other very expensive parts for under $3k. I wouldn't pay over $4k for one as there are some great larger displacement options out there once you get in that price range.

I would say $2.5 - 3.5K for one with those miles. Just a guess though since I am not in the market for one.

Ok. So pricing all over the board. And my bad it actually has 110k miles, sorry been a while since I was in it. To hell with it I think I’m just gonna list complete car up for sale and make someone a killer deal. Like I said it’s an 02 z electron blue hit left front, complete nice interior, all glass good plus extra driver and rear z06 glass. LG coil overs(1damaged in accident) Not thinking it’s fixable unless you had the means. But complete from doors back and motor of course. Is $4-4500 asking too much ?

If I was on the East coast, I'd come give you $4k for everything right now. That's a killer deal.

It’s posted in for sale section now so hopefully someone will come help me gain some room. Lol. Yeah if I was looking I would think it was a damn good deal seeing what just motors are selling for. I’m not trying to make money just trying to recoup a little bit since I got screwed by insurance which I got absolutely 0 from. And help someone else out in the process.

Someone will buy this quickly and part it out. I'd buy just the headliner if you want to part it?

Here's why I offer 1500. It's not even a full roller so time and parts will be needed along with any structural damage it may or may not have.
