Not enough information. How's the rest of the car? What else does it need? Who was the owner? Why neglected so bad that it needs paint and has cracks? Title OK? Carfax? You get the picture.

Sorry for lack of info I haven't checked it out in person yet just going by pics he sent me since it's a couple hrs away. 2 owner bone stock car sits outside since he doesn't have a garage. Clear is peeling on hood along with cracks like I said so I'd have to check the cost to fix that. It needs to be detailed bad but it looks like it would clean up. No carfsx yet he's owned it since 1k miles tho and said no paint or body work has been done. And how do I check to see what slp options it has?

A basically one-owner stock example is certainly a good start. Options should be the least of your concerns until you see and drive the car and see what everything entails, especially needs, also price. You shouldn't be lacking anything if it is a true Firehawk. Do your homework and good luck! Worse case scenario is a tank full of gas lost. It is part of the hunt for the car you truly want.
I know you want a price 'guesstimate' but it is tough without the info. Let's just say the car is near MINT inside and all maintenance has been done to the car, has fresh tires, no needed repairs, etc.. I would put it in the $13,000- $14,000 range which will give you a grand or two to repair the hood. Then you would have a really nice $15,000 - $16,000 stock low mileage Firehawk. That is assuming a lot for a car left outside, so I doubt it is the correct pricing but at least it is something to gauge where the seller is coming from and if worth your time and effort. Once you get there you may find dash issues, cracked seats, dry rot tires, Lord knows what. Then the pricing has to come WAY down!

Thanks for your help. The reason I wanted to check the SLP options was to see if it had any of the suspension options that were offered. We'll see what happens, I really wanted an mint '02 but if the price is right may go for it
