        did a quick check over a kbb.com and the retail value is right at $13000 so you could have got it a little cheaper. I wouldn't worry. I bought my 1999 camaro with 56k miles for 11,500 3 years ago. BTW that a great looking firebird with awsome mileage!

            What would you say have been reasonable? Yeah the KBB is around 13k..i only paid around 500 more..i wanted to get a firebird with low mileage..the cheapest firebird in my area is 6 grand and has over 120,000 miles

                we all pay too much, as a better deal always shows up w/in 2wks

                nice ride though :D

                    You may have paid too much... But look at it this way, did you find any that were cheaper and in as good of condition as this one?

                    I know I found plenty of camaros that were cheaper than what i paid for mine, but mine was in mint condition so it was worth it. Everything else i looked at that was cheaper had one thing or another that needed work or things that I would just have to deal with. I paid about 10k for mine, and while some may say I paid too much, i believe it was worth it.

                      yeah thats definetly the case

                      i could of gotten a 95 white firebird with over 130,000 miles for 6 grand and the paint job had quite a few knicks in it and it was modded quite a bit and mostly teens owned it. OR i could of spent $13,500 and got a beautiful red 2001 firebird with 30,000 miles(1/4th of the mileage of the other car) power EVERYTHING, leather seats with only 1 previous owner who was a 30 year old lady who didnt smoke or anything. Clean *** carfax and near mint condition. I would of loved to get a trans am but the cheapest trans am was $18k.

                              Good cars aren't cheap! Looks like you bought a good one. I spent $15,500 4 years ago for my 98 bird. It was over-priced but it was the nicest firebird I could find. Don't worry too much about it; Its Only Money!
