looking for my next car.

I'm not having a lot of luck finding what I want.
AutoTrader.com - Cars For Sale: Car Details
That would be great if it weren't for the fact that the guy is being stuck up about the price. $5000 for a car with 216k on it? Come on...

Im going for Formulas 87-90 with 305s. 5-speed manual and t-tops are a must.

Easy

I got your answer KEEP looking don't get stuck on one car with the attitude that you have to have it. If the guy wants 5000 grand it's his perogitive it's his car wait for another sucker to buy it I bought my first 3rd gen for 100 bucks course it needed a lot of tlc but deals are out there just keep looking.

Keep looking and surfing CL, something is bound to come up for cheaper. I personally wouldn't pay 5k for that car on Auto Trader, but 5spds are hard to find.

I take it you sold the Recaro?

I sold the Recaro awhile ago, I got a 99 firebird after it but it just didn't have what I wanted so I sold that too. This will be three cars in two years...sigh i'm becoming a car *****

3 cars in 2 years is pretty damn good by my standards!

Best of luck with your new bird search
