  • what do you think?

    i bought a 2001 pontiac firebird in june 2007. i bought the car with 49k miles on it, only 1 owner. it has 3.42 gear ratio. power everything. ttops. all scheduled maintnence has been done. i just hit 59k miles. it is completely stock except for a magnaflow dual catback exhaust system with 3" piping and 3.5" outlets. the car is cleaned inside an out about every 2 weeks and there arent any chips or dings. i have recently been thinkin about selling it for a nissan titan cc but its hard to let go of..what do you guys think? would 59k miles be considered low miles?

        Just curious..how much did you buy it for?

        Why do you want to get rid of it? 59k is quite low.

          i bought it for just under 11k. but my parents added A LOT of warrenties to it and i bought it from a dealer so add the taxes, etc.. and it came out to 18k total. i really dont want to get rid of it but i am always drivin people around and its hard to fit friends and family in the backseats. so i figured i would just buy a truck. i think it would be better for me in the longrun.

            Wow man that is very pricey. I bought mine in march 2007 for $8000 with 45k miles. I thought that was expensive. Then again I don't have any warranties, and I've put about a grand into repairs since I've had the car.

            I know it does suck about the limited room and its a pain in the ***. I just use it as an excuse so I don't have to drive my friends around....:cool:

              wow that was a good buy. yeah unfortunately i couldnt sign at all because i was only 16, so my parents pretty much took control even though i'm paying for all of it. although those warrenties have saved me a lot of money in repairs in the past year. and i usually use that as an excuse too i don't like driving many people around. i probably wont get rid of it, i love it.

                where did you buy the ram air hood, and how much did you pay? i've been lookin for one myself just havent been able to find one i could afford. although i know of a place by the name of CERTIFIT that sells them for $170. just doesnt sound right to me though.

                    well it's not like a local shop or anything like they. they are actually all over the u.s. i believe the hood is just metal, not sure though. my friend replaced both fenders on his camaro for about $30 a fender, and they are pretty nice.

                      I got lucky and found mine on ebay for $250. Luckily the sellers was rather local so I didn't have to worry about shipping.

                      Go take a look at the hood and see if it is of good quality.

                          11k for a v6 firebird. Glad I lvie in MA, picked up mine with 49k miles for 5500

                          Keep the bird, you put allot of money into it and it sounds damn nice. Trade it for a titan? Do you need to haul lumber or quads? If not then whats the point? just to get 14mpg

                            haha yup. i dont have to much money to put into it but i am gradually going to try to get some stuff. as for the titan, i have a quad but i most likely wouldnt be hauling anything else around. i think it would be pointless for me to get one. other than the fact that i could haul around my quad and anything else if needed, and i could actually fit more than 2 people it in.

                              I hate fitting more then 2 people, the ride is rough. Im not sure if this applies for you, but fortunately i can barrow my parents truck if I need to go quading. If thats not an option, then maybe a truck would be a good route. Dodge rams are selling for dirt cheap right now........
