I'm not sure about your area, but i gave alot less for my 00 Z with alot more miles. Mine was at 157k miles and i gave $5400. Also mine is an M6 and here you can expect to pay a grand more for the manual over the auto.

Car looks pretty good though. Check craigslist for comparison pricing.

way too much for that car. its not in bad condition but from those pics i can see it needs interior and paint repair. its not a big deal but what theyre asking is out of line imo.

The price is way out of line, there must be at least 5 grand profit in this car if they sell it for that.

i paid 4000k for a WS6 with 33k that didnt start in perfect condition [needed a stater relay] i am gm tech, that caR is worth about 7500k and the interior is ok seat belt loop on, seat ashtray lid all that shit is minor, i would offer them 7500k and see wat they counter offer dnt let anybody discourage you all my buddies told me not to buy it cause my car didnt run, a free relay from a customers car a wha la it has run flawlessy for 90k also check headlight motors parking brake, check trans fluid etc send me the VIN I WILL RUN IT AT WORK AND TELL YOU IF ANY MAJOR WARRANTY WORK HAS BEEN DONE good luck and if you like it bro buy it when it comes down to it, its all about you and sorry for long run on sentence on my phone too lazy to practice good grammar

Its an unmolested ls1. Its in a solid 95% great condition. Im willing to bet it hasn't been beat on that much. But it is a formula. But it is also a Pontiac. Its worth 8-9 in my opinion. You'll get 10 if someone really wants an unmolested ls1.

is that really a formula?? thought it was a firbird trans am. hence the wing and rear bumper of the trans am trim. thought formulas had the firbird body but the ls1 powering it. idk. but low ball your work. make it sound like a p.o.s.

Sorry on my phone at work. Your right. It is a TA. It should go for 10-12 now depending on prices. But a for sure check would be nada or kbb.

The asking price is too high. If the car has a solid history behind it with documented maintenance, and not abused, $8,000 - $9,000 would be top $$$. I have my doubts though. I don't like the fact that the seats are really shoddy and torn. I also can't understand why the seat belt guide hasn't been replaced. I accidentally broke mine last month and I bought a new one from the local GM dealer for $15. What does that tell you about the prior owner? The interior is pretty rough.
