Default New Car

Got this 2000 Formula about a week and a half ago.

2000 Firebird Formula A4 GU5
53000 Miles, one owner, stock save for a flowmaster
$10300







Lid was installed the second day I had it

I still miss my T/A though

WTB a T/A hatch!

*Edit* I'm getting nostalgic, just wanna post a pic of the T/A for old times sake.



Me and my buddies, there are now 2 red Formulas haha

I got ran off the road on Thanksgiving, rolled it 3-4 times, posted the story here

It sucks losing the car, but what happened happened, and it feels good to finally be behind the wheel of another F-Body.

It's cool though, this time around there is no cosigner, no down payment, and only 6% interest.

Here's some pics of the T/A afterwards. I never went too see it after the wreck, my dad took these with his cell:

you're lucky you were ok. judging by the looks of it, you could've been hurt pretty severely. i've lost several cars myself so i know the feeling but it sounds like you got a good deal @ 6%! that's rare on older cars. well congrats man!
