59K isn't low mileage. It is low for 98, but it isn't "low" mileage. Low mileage would be 10K or under miles, regardless of the year. 59K just means those '98 pushrods and valvesprings are that much closer to failing.

$8-9K tops.

Now quit being a cry baby and getting mad about your car not being worth as much as you dreamed about.

At 59K miles it's some what low, but not that low. If some one with the cash wanted to drop it on a Formula, they would be looking for a WS6 or a Formula Firehawk car which yours is not, it's a regual Formula. There was a real 99 Formula WS6 with 44K miles, clean as hell, never wrecked, black which is a bit more desirable then yors and the asking price was $10.5, what it sold for, only the owner and buyer knows. So $7000-8500, seems about right. Your also failing to look at the key demographic who buys these cars, most people buy them to mod, so they could care less if Pontiac exists or not. The people who do care the miles and options make it a pass for a serious Pontiac collector, if it was a 2-3K mile 2000 Formula WS6 1LE optioned car, you may have a case but it's not. The boat to sell an F-body left 5 years ago, you might get a solid $8K-9K maybe if you waited for the right buyer. Stuff can be semi rare but some one still has to want it, the 93 in my sig I have had since '00, I am the second owner and it has 73K miles on it. It's only 1 of 20 Trans Ams sent to Hawaii for sale by GM in 93 if you break the rpo codes down. How ever there isn't some market for them so the car isn't worth any more then any other F-body if the same year. You can break down what ever production numbers you want, rare matters if it's worth being rare, Firehawks or WS6s, not regular Formulas.

justify to me how a 2002 TA Ws6 with 75,000miles is still worth $20,000!? i realize an asking price is just that, and sale price might not be the asking price, but seriously, prices on these cars is out of hand. they are not that rare. everyone acts like they are selling the last f-body in the world...but they're not!!!

people need to KBB their ****, do some research, and be realistic. hell, even i have had to come back to reality with pricing previous cars i have had to sale.

now being that it was a 94 this is the last year my buddy Greg worked at the toyota plant. dude was the baddest there, set the record for most 10mm bolts put in a subframe in less than an hr. and this was AFTER he did like 10 lines on the watercooler at lunch. so his performance was slightly decreased for the contest. but not on this car! 6mo sober!
the car is a SE model, probably only about 60,000 of those were made, so its the more 'rare' option.
i have noticed theres a bit of black sharpie near the intake manifold. i believe this to be the autograph of chuck yeagar. this should increase the value substantially. upon removal of the intake there is a slight amount of white oxidation. i also believe this to be the semen remains of Mr. Yeagar. Pretty much youre getting 2 deals in 1 now. since the intake was kept ultra cold by the efficient 4cyl engine, i believe the semen to be ecapsulated in a frozen tundra of darkness. what this means for you is that you can use this for in vitro fertilization. you'll make your coworkers feel like **** when you can say that your wife has been impregnated by one of the greatest fighter pilots of all time.
I'm really hoping on being able to get around 28,500$ for this car, and if you dont think thats right. then **** you!
