Question Arctic White 1999 Pontiac Firebird Formula

I have a 1999 Arctic White Pontiac Firebird Formula A4 with 24,000 original miles. Mods are Corsa Catback Exhaust, SLP Lid, SLP CAI, SLP Smooth Bellows. Everything else is bone stock and original. Car is kept in showroom condition, interior and exterior are immaculate. I have seen very similar cars to mine for between $10,000 and $15,000, it would help if anyone had an idea or opinion on what I would be able to get or what would be a fair asking price for my car. Pics are in my profile. Thanks!

If as nice as you claim then you can certainly start in the $13,000 - $14,000 range and see if you get any 'bites'. You may not so expect to lower the price gradually until you find that range where the phone starts to ring. With that nice low mileage, clear title, clean history you should be able to get a decent price. Not many left in this condition. The slight mods (and exhaust) may hurt a little for the buyer looking for a stock example but that's about the only negative I see unless there have been multiple owners. You didn't mention that. Good luck!

Your friend is 'off base' and pricing cars with many more miles. If you were desperate for a quick sale and needed to sell, then maybe you would have to give it away, but an LS1 car with that mileage should fetch $12,000 easily. There are 'premiums' involved with excellent condition cars with that mileage It would be a steal for someone. If it was heavily modded it could work against you and limit your buyers. You explained that wasn't the situation so I see no problems.
