Default 2000 Silver Firebird Formula Mint 58K miles

I was looking to buy anything I could use to go cross country in order to not drive my old CJ7 that was going to be a good deal. I came across this firebird an older lady was selling on base. I bought it for 4600 and from what I have been seeing on this site it is worth more than that? It is not a WS6 or trans am or anything so I was thinking maybe it was worth around what I paid but with the low mileage and perfect paint (not even scratches) I just thought I would get some thoughts. It has cloth interior and is all original. I bought some Z-28 wheels for 100 bucks and 2 new (used) taillights to tint (I didn't want to ruin the originals so that if I sold it I had everything stock.) I also added the bazooka 8's because the older ones were blown. Any thoughts? Should I just sell this instead of using it for my cross country car or not really a big deal.

If the title is clean and the Carfax good, you simply 'stole' the car. It is worth double.
If the title is salvage or re-built, then that $4,600 is about the right price.

I sold my 99 Formula in 2008 for $7700 with 77k miles, so you got a good deal on it. You should make a few grand easy.

Default Automatic

It is an automatic. Thanks for all the replies. The title is clear and everything. It seems like logically I should sell it but I am really liking it lol Now I want to put exhaust and an an SLP lid and cold air intake and all kinds of other things I don't need to do. The good thing is that my road trip coming up wll probably take it from 58K to 70K but it sounds like I could still sell it for more than 5 with 70K. Now I just need to keep babying it like the lady before me did. Thanks again!

With 58k on it right now you wouldn't have a problem getting $10k for it. If it's not the right combo you want (color/transmission/etc), I would sell it and buy what you want.

Even with 70k this car is worth more than $5000. As others have already said here before, you STOLE this car plain and simple. Just make sure that you keep all the stock parts and everything else you plan on doing to the car sounds like bolt-ons anyways. Or if you wanted to make an easy $4000 just flip it now lol
