Default 1998 1LE Firebird

Approx. 95,000 miles. Details here https://ls1tech.com/forums/pontiac-f...-firebird.html

Thinking of selling.

How much should I ask?

Those pictures are 18 months old. Does the car still look the same? Any mods? Any accidents? 95,000 miles will NOT appeal to collectors in most situations.

No mods, no accidents, car pretty much sleeps in the garage; car still looks exactly the same. I've probably put 300-400 miles on it since then.

It's got a few miles, but it is one of only 15 1LE Firebirds built in 1998, which as you know, makes this car super rare.

A few miles?? 95,000 miles?? It is a beautiful car but as I said most collectors have very little interest in a 13 year old car with 95,000 miles. '1 of 15' is sweet but I don't think buyers will be lining up to pay big $$ for it. I love rare cars but they must be appealing in every regard. I don't believe you would get more than price guide retail. No harm in trying though, right?

Right. Hey I appreciate your feedback. Yes, it has a lot of miles on it but it is in GREAT shape. Zero rust (California car) and not a single ding on the body. And the interior is in great shape, too. But you're right, that is alot of miles. Maybe I'll just keep it so I can brag that I have the rarest car in town.
