Default Wow...

So last night I was in Van Nuys area hanging out with my buddies knocking back a few. And then I see this firebird pull up across the street. I was curious if it was a formula, but it was too dark to tell whether it was or not. Then my friends brother states that he knows the guy, I tell him to call the over to see if its a V6 or V8. When the guy walks up, he is obviously admiring my car from the short distance. I realized that he went to my middle school but he was two grades lower than I. Him, and I talk about the middle school days, and about other classmates for about 15 to 20 minutes. Now I finally got to spring the question, he tells me that its only a 6-banger. I was a rather disappointed.

I then ask him,

Me - How many miles?
Him - 90k

Me - What year is it?
Him - 2001

Me - How much did you pay for it??
Him - Ummm, $15k.

Then we were interrupted by another vehicle that pulls up, and it turned out to be his GF. So the convo was cut short, and he had to leave. But man, when he first told me how much he paid for it. Shitt! I almost blew my lid. Why would someone pay that much for only a V6?

Also sorry if the grammar, or anything is off. Im posting from my cell phone.

It may have been purchased by that guy or his parents in like 03 or 04... I could see an 01 V6 going for about that price back in 03... I paid $4500 and a beat up 88 Benz back in 05 for mine.

Well if he bought it in 03 or 04 he would of been 13 or 14 years old. But that could be the case.

Doesn't sound good at all. That's a horrible price to pay for a v6.
