When NADA determines the value of a vehicle, it is a GENERAL guideline, not written in stone. When a person slaps his/her car on Ebay in Iowa, how can I determine its true worth without seeing it here in SC? This, coupled with the fact that Ebay caters to people looking for a steal, lead me to call bullshit on the "put it on Ebay" suggestion.
Put it in YOUR FRONT YARD, or ON THE CORNER. Polish the hell out of it. Detail it like you did the first time you washed it. Someone will pass it by, and fall in love, as all of us have.
The M6 is a specialty car, made for folks who can afford the upkeep, and a roof over its head (I need a garage, currently, SOB-SOB). It is as intricate as any 6 cylinder made in the 80's, and twice as powerful. Anyone who can afford to piss gas away at 90 mph, and maintain these monsters, will more than happily shell-out 15k if the car looks/drives nice.
My advice is to keep your price at 15, and take a minimum of 14, unless you are in financial duress, or there are other M6's in your area nicer for less money.
Never let someone else tell you what your car is worth, it's too subjective. I have seen an M635csi, black-on-black, with 95k miles on it, that I'd have parted with 17 grand for. it literally looked and drove like brand new. The guy refused my offer of 16, and when I called to offer 17, he told me it had gone for his original price of $19,500 - two days after I saw it. Bummer.
