Default Is this a good price for a Hawk

OK car is a 2000 with leather 6 speed T-tops with 43k miles and they are asking 18,000. I asked a few people at work and they said that is way too much for the car. I dont really think it its just because it a Hawk. im seeing under 20k miles for over $22,000 and higher im new to the firehawk i have a SS and im sick of seeing them everywhere i go so thats why im looking for a hawk thanks guys

Some people feel more intelligent when they criticize.

That sounds like a reasonable price if it is in very good condition. I just paid $16500 for a 2001 with 56000 miles, and feel I got a good deal. And with a Firehawk, since they are so rare, it`s really hard to nail down a precise value on these cars.

The car looks clean one onwer and motor looks a bit dirty but have been told by the sales guy that is really clean. its about a 5hr drive away from me to see the car so just trying to get a good idea of what thease cars go for and i feel that is a good deal just becaue the cars with lower mile people are asking an crazy prices for them

If it's a dealership offer 3 grand below and stick to your guns. Don't ******* budge and when you finally walk out to the parking lot and go to get in your car. Then when they chase you outside and offer you 2k below their price accept it.

They didn't pay hardly anymore than any plain old T/A with a ram air package. The guy that traded it didn't put up too much of a fight becasue he traded the ****** in to a DEALERSHIP instead of selling it for a bit more privately.


I bought my 2002 Firehawk one year old for 18k!!! I worked at a dealership and we gave the previous douche owner 17.5K on trade in. He traded it on a Mitsubishi Endeavor SUV.

I was driving out of the dealership in his car in front of him before his own suv was even out of the wash lot!

I agree for the most part, but you might want to feel it out. When I was trying to sell my `94 back in 2000, I was shopping it around at several different dealerships. Most were offering me what a Trans Am was worth in that year with those miles (around $12,000 if I remember correctly). But there was one that knew what it was, and gave value for all the receipts I had (I had about $8,000 in mods). He offered me $19,000 for it on on a straight sale! I am sure he wouldnt have budged much on a resale. This was at a Chevrolet dealer.
I ended up selling it privately for $21,500 if memory serves me.

Sounds like a decent price if it is in very good condition. I just purchased my 02 with 41k miles on it for 16,000 but i feel that i got an extremely good deal on it. It has the iroc spoiler and is in pretty good shape. There are a few little scratches but nothing major at all. But good choice on going the firehawk route......i love mine so far

thats a good price..i paid 17500 for my firehawk and its a 2000 with 42k miles on it and the dealer had a paper that showed what its worth since you cant do it on kbb because they dont have the firehawk package and it said 26k so i basically stole the car so yah i think thats a pretty good deal..mines also a 2000 leather t-tops 6 speed power everything and pewter so i think its a good deal!

#0293 of 540
the only slp option, bilstein suspension.
it basically boils down to a 1 of 3 with that option and color,trans choice
still lookin, trying to sway the wife.
she thinks that if she says no, i'll be able to stick
more money in my 04 imp ss. i'm getting bored with it and want a V8 now.

it's bright red, hardtop. i told her she could drive it, " but what about in winter?" she doesn't think it's practical either.
i thought she knew what she was in for when we got married. but when you can get something that's in the collectible market, get it. i couldn't buy one new because i was laid off. now i can.
here's a link to some pics
