The median asking price for a used Chevrolet SS is $39,995 across 76 listings. A 2017 costs about $39,995; a 2006 about $22,000.
Chevrolet SS price by model year
| Year | Typical price | Spread | Listings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 | 1× | 37 | |
| 2016 | — | 11 | |
| 2006 | — | 7 |
A spread near 1.5× means the market agrees what a Chevrolet SS of that year is worth. Past 3× the listings mix tidy examples with tired ones, and a careful buyer can do well — but the exact figure for one car depends on its mileage and history, which is what the valuation tool is for.
Dealer or private seller
On the Chevrolet SS the forecourt markup works out at 3% over a private sale of the same year. Both figures are measured against the median for the same model year, so age is out of the comparison and what remains is the markup itself.
| Seller | Listings | vs median year | Average asked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dealer | 44 | +4.5% | $40,726 |
| Private seller | 13 | +1.7% | $30,077 |
The gap comes to 2.8 percentage points. Some of that buys something real — reconditioning, a warranty, paperwork handled. The rest is the cost of not looking further.
How fast price falls with mileage
Taken from a single model year — 2017, the one with the most Chevrolet SS listings — so the curve shows mileage alone rather than age creeping in alongside it.
| Mileage | Price drop | Listings |
|---|---|---|
| 25–50k miles | baseline | 37 |

How we count
The Chevrolet SS figures here come from 76 live listings, 1991–2017 — asking prices, not sale prices. Sellers ask more than they get, so treat these as the top of the range, not the bottom.
Percentages here are never plain averages: each listing is first turned into its ratio against the median for its own model year, and those ratios are averaged instead. Without that step the numbers lie confidently — a flat average across 1991–2017 would mostly measure which years happen to be for sale this week. Slices too thin to survive the test are dropped rather than dressed up with an error bar, which for the Chevrolet SS leaves 3 model years standing. The full method, with the traps it avoids →
