The seller bought that car for $9,000 a few months ago.

I was looking at it at the time but wasn't going to pay over 8.

I emailed him 2 weeks ago when he had it listed for $12,000 and questioned the price since he just got it for 9k.

My Firehawk is one of eleven made in Formula, hardtop, six speed for 2000 year model. It had 71k miles on it when I bought it and paid less than that.

if you have money in that range id say go hunting for a C5. 98-01 cars are getting below teens. guy down the street from me bought a 99 auto with 130k for 9100. f boats are basically condemned to swap donors now unless they are the hard to find good ones like WS6, hardtops, 1SC, Firehawk, etc. i will say ive bought a clean 02 car with similar miles for MUCH less than that. anyone with a normalish fourth gen priced in the five digits is dreaming.

Not gonna lie, 6.5 is the going rate for a 100+k mile car. 6.5 is not enough.

TA's will generally bring a little more cash. I like both equally but most lean to the TA.

trans ams are better in every way that camaros. maybe slightly heavier but marginally. ive owned many camaros but they were all deal just too good to pass up kinda things. plus camaros look like rental cars.
