What’s the value of my 2000 Firehawk ?
I have a 2000 Firehawk with 15,000 miles, it’s a formula 1 of 23 made, it is red 1 of 5 made, it’s an automatic 1 of 2 made and I the only one that came with chrome rims and Auburn high torque rear end and sinthedic oil. It appears to be quit rare and may sell it, what should I price it at, or what is the value of the car ?

If the original synthetic oil is still in the engine then you can apply the rarity for that option. Otherwise fairly meaningless in determining if it's 1 of 5. Same for A4 vs. M6.
The Formula FH's have a cliquish following. While they are rare and worth more money than a regular FH, 95% of buyers would rather have a plain old FH and get it in better condition and/or with lower mileage.
As a comparison car, I was considering a 12K mile 2001 FH NBM A4 convertible just 3 yrs ago. One of 40-45 verts in all colors that year. 5 were NBM. 2 in auto. So 1 of 2. Actual selling price was just above $20,000.
While the A4 Form FH's rare, there are another 69 M6's out there to make the model less rare. And I would think most buyers would prefer the more "common" M6. So no real credit for a 1 of 23 automatics imo. As much as we'd expect the FH's to fetch more than a similar WS6, they often don't. If they do, usually not more than 10%. So I'd put the value of this FH at a lot closer to the $15K mark...and no more than $17.5K. Comes down to finding the right buyer. Offers might come in around $13K-$15K. Finding a strong buyer could take time.

Definitely mid teens ($15k neighborhood) IMO if no issues with the car such as title or accidents, etc... Those are some low miles and very desirable to someone that wants a ride with both the rarity factor and low miles. That's me normally, but I'm not looking at the moment. Good luck if you sell.
