bought a 98 ss for $4,500
I bought a 1998 ss m6 with 49000 for 4,500$. Did not run when i bought it was off the road since 05. The guy said it had chewed wires. Yes there was alot of mouse nest and acorns but no chewed wires. I got it home checked a few things. Changed fuelpump fuse, pcm bat fuse it fired right up  I will have pics soon but the car is mint. I cant believe i found this car.

Happy Day for you.
What condition is it in then? Just dirty from sitting? Or was it somewhat taken care of?
