Must be 10 g's because of that front wheel drive drivetrain.

First I've ever seen.

I get the impression that this car might be sitting for a while. It reminds of the time I was selling my Fiero GT a few years ago, and I actually got phone calls from people asking where the engine was and why did they put it there. I remeber hearing specualtion back in the day that the 4th gen was going front wheel drive, but...

Then again maybe its the 48,000 miles that set the price.

Sure its a V6 and isn't in much demand, but then someone who has had it for 15 years and has put less than 50,000 miles on it probably doesn't NEED to sell it either.

It's a nice car, its not going to sell as cheaply as someones run down junk 175,000 mile Z28 on its third engine with a failing transmission.

Well if the person has had it for 15 years then they are dumb as hell. 15 years of owner ship and they don't know squat about their car. Priceless.

There is absolutely no question that this person doesn't know his *** from a hole in the ground. However, I understand that being the original owner of a low mileage car, he feels it's worth more than the ~3-4k it would actually fetch.. Drew pretty much nailed it spot on..

man thats not even a transam, its just a firebird, u can even see the plain jane "Firebird" badge on the fender, and base rims it just happens to be a 90-92 so it has ground effects, and im positive the FWD is a typo. so i think its ludicris that the dude has it priced for 10k
