Default Did I pay too much or was it a solid deal? 2001 Firebird Formula

So I just recently bought a 2001 Firebird Formula for 11K.

Basic info:
2 owner car
9.5 interior
9.5 exterior
22,000 miles
Unmolested, all stock.

Let me know what you guys think. Again, its in pristine condition and runs amazing.

Couldn't find an edit button but decided I should include these details too.

It is bright red, with t-tops and leather.

That is around $1500 below book value. Good deal.

Sounds like an excellent buy. Even if the Formula needs tires and a few maintenance items, you can't go wrong at that price. The only reason why it wouldn't be a good deal is if the car has some Carfax issues or a bad title.
Enjoy it!!

Sounds like a good deal, there have been cars on here with 60-90K miles and people are asking more than that!
Nice score!

Sounds like a good buy to me. I would say you paid just a little less than what the car is worth. A stealership would have put that on their lot for $19,995.

Why are you inquiring?....are you experiencing a little "did I pay too much" anxiety or something ?

Thanks for the responses. And yes, I was experiencing that exact anxiety. I don't know why but I didn't check KBB before buying, and once I did buy it I ended up checking and accidently messed up on the options and the value came out to 9,000. Was a bit worried, but all is well now.

Enjoy your new car, man. Even if somehow turned out that you had overpaid a little bit for it, life is too short to let it bug you. I see examples all the time of people who spent several thousand more on a car than they should have. You did good....enjoy your new ride !!
