    I purchased this very car two years ago and it has a little over 31k miles now. It’s a truly amazing car!! ✌️

    I had a 1996 formula from 2001-2006. Bought it with 38k and traded it in with over 150k miles. Great , reliable car. The only thing I ever had to fix was the radiator and clutch at 140K miles.

    I can understand wanting to keep it's value up but these cars were meant to be driven. I recall a friend of mine fresh out of the Marines bought one of these back in 1993 when they first came out. The exhaust sound alone sold me on them. His was also red with the same color velour interior ironically.

    Your voice almost sounds like actor Elliot Gould from Ocean's 11. Nice review and cool car my dad used to own a '71 Pontiac Firebird formula with a 350 engine in it, too bad he had to donate it due to the transmission being shot.

    I’m buying one with 240k miles on it lol but it’s been well maintained for its overall lifetime. Had 2 owners. First owner had it for 11 years 2 owner had it for 14. Always been well serviced and maintain. Do you guys think It’s a good idea to get it? It still runs and everything
