Selling my 1995 Z28, it is Black has T-tops. It has 96000 miles on it and the paint and interior are in good condition. Tires are 245/50R16 Dunlop SP5000's with about half the life left in them. Recently inspected. Cruise control, Power windows and locks, CD player, Automatic Transmission, Hypertech Power Programmer, Flowmaster cat back exhaust, K&N Air Filter, New waterpump, new coil and ignition module, new TPS, have all records since I bought the car in 1998. I am looking at a 2002 Firebird Formula 6spd w/leather and T-tops. Would like to sell it ASAP. Kelly Blue Book said it is worth $7,170, I am asking $6,500. I will take less but not much less. The first one with the money can have it, I have the clear and clean title in hand. If you want to see a picture look at my profile in members (Bruce Goss, Giebelstadt, Germany). cell 01605126423 Home 09334978545 E-mail Tres138@aol.com

To bad your selling, part prices are really dropping. I cant talk to loud though, cuz I've been tossing that idea around for sometime also. You shouldnt have much problem selling it, it sounds like a nice car.
BTW, If I was you I would check the Air Pump fuse. Sounds like that is what is causing your fans/SES light. Your fans are kicking on when you go to closed loop.

Tres, is that the Pewter Formula @ Leighton you are looking at? It looks nice. They told my wife $30K for it, hope you are getting a better deal. But it is a sweet looking car. I will ask her if she wants a Z.

It is the Formula at leighton Barracks. They started at 30K but I got them down to 26K with the rebate and a little sweet talkin'. There is nothing wrong with my Z. It has kept running when it really shouldn't have been. It has always held on until I could figure out what was wrong with it. It as been a really good car but I just want something new, I just made E-5 and I am single so I am getting a new car. That is the only reason why I am selling it.

I'm not trying to preach, but that's $350 you could spend on mods, or invest... Just think about it man! PLus, LT1 mods are far cheaper than LS1 mods.

The thing I like most about having a new Formula is that I will have put all the miles on it myself. call me crazy but I would like that.

I dont think one is better than the other, but I do know the difference between 96000 miles and 0 miles on the odometer.

Not much work as far as performance parts. It has the Flowmaster Cat-back exhaust, K&N Air filter, and Hypertech. The other things are just maintenance.

The waterpump is new, the shaft bearing went out on the old one. The Throttle position sensor is new, nothing was wrong with it. The actual problem was the ignition module and that was replaced. It has a 18 month old AC Delco battery in it because the old one died right before I got to Germany. The front seal on the rear differential is seeping a little but that is because the dealer overserviced it before I left the states. I had the dealer flush the Transmission just because I thought it would be good for the car before it came over here. I changed all the plugs and wires about 18 months ago. Coil went out in 98 right after I bought it. Those are the only things that have gone wrong with the car in the past three and a half years. Which for a 95 Camaro that isnt bad. It is well maintained, anytime there is something wrong with it I fix it ASAP. I thought you weren't interested in buying it Jack?

The wife and I drove by it tonight, she seems to like the idea that she could have a car that would beat mine. Looks like we might have a 2 Camaro family.
