Default Worth $3500 ???

I am thing about buying this car here in a couple days. 98 Firebird Formula 100% bone stock 1-owner car ( older woman ). The car is clean inside & out, the only thing that's concerning me is the miles ( 155k ) but the way i'm looking at it is that it should still be pretty healthy due to the owner IMO. Just lookin for sum opinions or feedback. I wanna do a H/C/I on it

Yup. That looks clean for 155k miles. And those wheels look pretty good on there too...if only the rears were deeper..

I was expecting to see something that needed some TLC but that looks worth every penny and more.

Yep smooth bellow behind the MAF makes you wonder, and an old lady obviously wouldn't add those wheels. But then again, any old lady cool enough to drive a Formula is cool enough to buy wheels.

Buy it!

just had a look at the dealers site and he has a 98 camaro ss with 69k miles for $10,999 - nearly 3 times the price. would the high mileage on the formula really make that much difference in price?
