1999 Formula 6speed 16,000 miles
I'm the original owner. It's Pewter, 6 speed, t-tops, and never seen snow/salt or been in an accedent. Car is mint no dings or scratches. I keep it in my garage with going on 16,000 sunny day miles. It also has Dynatech headers, B&B exhaust, and a few other light mods. Fully maintained with all records. Tires replaced 2 years ago.

There have recently been two similar cars discussed in this section ('99 Formulas with upper 20k/lower 30k miles, M6 trans) and they were priced at $13k & $14k in their ads. The one at $13k was local to us (Chicago suburbs) and in white, I don't know what the new owner paid but he's a member here and has posted about the car in the Midwest section. Neither car seemed to sell super quick at those prices, so probably somewhere around ~$11-12k would be a true value/actual sale price. At 16k miles yours is probably worth a bit more, though pewter is typically not as desirable as white so you might only get $500-1000 more than those ~30k mile white examples.

I'd agree with RPM WS6 in the $12K-$12.5K price range. The formula's may not be as "cool" as the WS6's, but they are a lot harder to find, especially with under 20K miles as there was no "collector" incentive to preserve them vs. say a WS6. I'd consider a Trans Am/Formula M6 to be similar in price to an SS of the same year. Good bang for the buck car as a 1 owner '99 WS6 M6 with 16K miles would probably be up in the $15K-$16K range. I'd figure a WS6 at $2K more than a Formula.

I sold a 74k mile Formula hard top six speed for 10,500 last year. It was a Firehawk though. It took me a month or two to sell it. People always claim that the Trans Am package is worth more but I wouldn't give as much for one. I think they look way too busy and I can't stand to sit on a leather seat. Formulas have a smaller buyinv group but when it's what someone wants, they will pay for it.

That was me. (I found my old login info) I paid $11k as a price point for you, Dave. Don't bother looking at NADA or KBB. The formula I picked up was bone stock, hardtop, M6 with 26k miles. I had a he'll of a hard time finding what I wanted but was glad I held out as long as I did.
Here's another similarly low mileage Formula for sale:

It's been posted here for about 5-6 weeks. The '01-'02 cars are usually worth a bit more, but he'll probably have to take an offer of a thousand or two less than that to get it sold.
