You're welcome lol... Don't you just love it!! Great looking car. PM me what you paid for it and i'll let you know what I paid for mine. Mine has 112K... so, neither of these just sat. I too have all of the documentation from day 1... Build sheet, window sticker, Firehawk floor mats ( never used) Firehawk car cover ( never used until the other day). Mine is # 0215.I do something to it literally everyday. Nice find buddy!! Congrats.

Really sweet one-owner find. I'll say it was loved. Looks incredible with those miles. That's not easy to do. I am also a one owner but with half that mileage, and it's tough to keep them that nice looking. Enjoy!

The two most noticeable differences between a Formula and a Trans Am (98 - 02) are that the T/A has the high rear spoiler (except convertibles) and the fog lights are centered in the front fascia (Formulas have the V6 front end with the fog lights next to the turn signals near the outer edges).

My TA I was not a fan (on paper)
but when sat in it I knew I was in trouble yes 130,000 but it was so clean in and out
it just felt right offer 30% below asking price but upped my offer Because had to have it so i countered to 20% below asking and the owner Took it..
(I was having a good day
)

#1 95 Z28 Vert.1 owner 85,000 Drk grn
(my first LT1 shouldn't have let it go)

Your Hawk is gorgeous... Look at it like this... When was the last time you saw one on the HWY...? Or at a car show.? Keep it.... It will only appreciate in value. Neither of ours will be worth as much as a low mile Hawk... But I feel that down the road they will hold their value. I am going to keep mine and improve on it. The previous TA Hawk that I had (silver one) was an A4.. I did Heads, Cam, Yank SS3600 stall... It was a beast... Throw a stall in it... You'll fall in love all over again.
