Default is $8900 to much for a stock 1995 Formula w/118k?

So I stopped and looked at a 1995 Formula A4 Convertible with 118k miles that was for sale today. The car was very clean, with a few very minor blemishes that can be expected on an 11 year old car. It was was black and had an aftermarket exhaust. They were asking $8900. I thought this was a little steep even though it was one of the cleaner 95's you will ever see.

Hell yes! I paid $9K for my 93 Trans Am in 2000 with 41K miles, that Formula is worth $3500 max.

Maybe if it read less than 50k and was flawless, maybe. But 118K, that too, too much for the price. IMHO

I'd say its too steep aswell. Look elsewhere. You can find 100k LS1's in decent shape for 8k with a few mods very easily.

I bough a 98 z28 6 speed car with 128,000 miles for 4000. had to change the water pump radiator and a couple of other things but i still think it was a good deal. I'd say 4 or maybe 5 for a really clean convertible, but you could get an ls1 car for that price.

Damn, was it running...or stolen and resold??
Seriously though, that's the best deal I have ever seen on a 98+ SS.


OP, hmm...you definitely should do some research before you jump in and get your *** ripped by some dumbass car salesman...
