formulas are nice. almost stealth looking. If it is as clean as you say it is then it would probably be a good deal. It is getting harder and harder to find these vehicles stock.

I just ran it on carfax for you.....says an accident was reported in July 2007. Just to let you know. If you have an email I can prob send you the printout.
Don't feel like you have to buy the first one you see. I just bought my first LS1 a few weeks ago so i'm no expert by any means, but I looked at a few nice ones before I found "the one".

I jumped on mine, but they are hard to find in WNY i paid alot for it too! $15,500 but it was perfect had only air lid kit, i am the 3rd owener. I had to pay what he wanted because he owed that much on it still, he had it for a year and had it stored in the winter. Female was the first owner and carfax was clean so. They are so hard to find it was the only one i found! i almost gave up but found it on auto trader.

The ws6's are nice, but just not for me, that ram air hood just seems too big. I like a nice clean looking hood and front so thats why the formula jumped out at me.

well if that ones wrecked, i can just say no lol. Ill have to get about 9000 to pay off my car and have alittle left over, then ill get my tax return and ill have a nice down payment for whatever formula i find. Take out almost the same loan and ill be set.

I'd avoid that one. I bought my Formula for 7k with 120k miles on it. Pretty much every option except cd changer and leather. If you search around you can find really nice prices. Don't be afraid to travel either. I drove for an hour or so to get mine.

The only way you're getting a decent deal on the coast is if you're buying a base model car. The WS6's and SS's cost usually $4,000-$5,000 more.

Where do you live? You can't compare Middle America prices to prices on the coasts. For $15,000 in New Jersey, you're usually getting a 50,000+ mileage F-body. If you want a WS6 or an SS, you're probably getting 65,000+ miles.

not on the west coast. and if anyone pays that much more to get a SS or WS6 over the Z28 or TA/formula, then they are absolute fools.

Price seems a bit high, but then again the prices vary in different areas.
I paid 10k for mine this past August, it's loaded except for the cd changer and WS6 package, and it had 65k on it. Only bad thing was it came with ugly aftermarket wheels.
IMO you can't go wrong with the Formula, I think the T/A looks a bit overdone, that wing and the gfx just isn't for me. Also the stealth factor to it is great, as was said above.
It's just a clean looking car, and as long as you don't put a loud exhaust on it, you can fool most people into thinking it's a V6.
