Is $6900.00 a good price for a 2 car garage with slab and 2 steel doors?

Given the wealth of information supplied, I'd say it's certainly a better 
price than $7000.00, but not quite as good as say $6800.00

Depends.  Are you the contractor or the homeowner?

Definitely possibly maybe or not. I'll need to sort through all of the 
details first..

Use your imagination.
Stick built on a slab included.
vinyl siding
asphalt roof
2 steel doors.
If you can fit 2 cars in it that should give you an idea of the demensions.

What do you need, the molecular structure of the wood?

Maybe, but if you hired a guy that worked for me you would not be
happy. Get bids , check refrences, go look at their jobs. The city
might give info to you if they have complaints, and the courthouse has
open records. The guy I hired lost 1 case every year from hack work,
and kept all assets in his wifes name, I found out to late after he
screwed up, I won but but cant collect. The city building inspector
should be very familiar with the contractor, he may not openly state
anything but should be able to steer you to get info on him.

Let's see if I understand you.  You believe that the description "2
car garage" covers all such structures, anywhere on the planet, all
construction methods, all possible code requirements (including
seismic, flood and hurricane) and that they should all cost the same
to build to the nearest hundred dollars.  Does that sum up your
belief?

I think you need to use a little less imagination and more facts.  I
can price facts.

Hmm,
2 car garage of what dimension? Does it include eaves trough? Electrical 
wiring? opener? inside wall finish? heating? shingle of what quality?
My imagination goes on and on..... and where I live building a garage 
needs permit.

*Is that an insulated slab?

*What is the rated life of the siding?

*Are they insulated doors?

*Will it be wide enough to open a car door fully when another car is already 
inside?

*No, but there are different grades of wood.  Is your bid for the cheapest 
grade of wood possible?

That looks like a good price to me.
