Default 1997 Firebird

Year: 1997
Make: Pontiac
Model: Firebird
Price: $3000
Mileage: 153000
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State): PA
Color: Green
Transmission: Automatic
Drivetrain: Rear Wheel Drive

First off, I really hate to sell this car and thought I would never get rid of it. It was my first car and I babied it since I got it April 2011. I picked up a LT1 this Winter and I don't need two of the same cars really. I'd like to get $3,000 for it.

1997 Pontiac Firebird 3.8L v6 Automatic with 152,XXX miles on the speedometer.

It gets around 27MPG on the highway and about 19-20 in the city.

Maintenance
-3,000 mile oil changes with Mobil 1 High Mileage Full Synthetic Oil and AC Delco Oil Filter
-New Spark Plug Wires (Accel 9045 Heat Resistance Wires)
-New Spark Plugs (NGK Spark Plugs TR55GP)
-New GM Coil Packs
-New Deka Maintenance Free Battery
-New Coolant Temperature Sensor
-New Window Wipers
-New Rear Tires two years ago (10-12k miles on them)
-New Turn Signals with flasher and Bulbs
-New Radiator and GM DexCool
-New Driver Side Window Motor
-New Headlight Motors
-New Rear End Gasket & Synthetic Gear Oil
-New MAF Sensor
-New Carter Fuel Pump Assembly
-New Rear Brakes
-New Cold Air Intake

Good
-Strong Engine and Transmission
-T-Tops with Aftermarket T-Top Shades
-5% Window Tint
-3.42 LSD Rear End
-Flowmaster 80 Series Exhaust with Stainless Steel Exhaust Tips youtube.com/watch?v=Byxo7PqOlZ4
-Honeycomb Tail Lights
-Side Skirts and Rear Bumper Ground Effects
-KeeAudio Sound System
-HID Fog Lights
-Firebird Custom Logo Floor Mats
-VATS Bypass

Bad
-Headliner started to fall around the T-Tops, I used adhesive glue, it's holding up but the liner is crinkled where I glued it.
-Dash Pad is cracked ONLY on the top
-A/C does NOT work, it has a LEAK, I can not find it.
-Front Tires soon need replacing
-Paint needs some work

It's a great car, never let me down or stranded. The only thing the car needs is just a repaint, the passenger quarter panel and door is fading. The driver side door is starting to fade too.

Will sell for $3,000 or trade for some other car, prefer 5 speed or 6 speeds.

Will go lower if I remove the sound system, I have most of the stock speakers. I sold the front door speakers though.
