Ok im home visiting my family right now and I found a 1994 Firehawk loaded 6spd with 77k. Paint is perfect as well as the interior. The dealership is asking 11k and they said they have little wiggle room as far as the price. Has stock firehawk rims and cloth interior and hardtop. Best of all its black!! Does that seem like a good price or should I try to get it for lower. thanks!!

Looks like in the add its on sale for $9000.00 . Id try $8500.00 out the door with tax, title and plates. Something would have to be done about the red hood vents though looks out of place.

Hood and bumper have definatly been resprayed and or replaced. Check for structural damage to rad support,headlight bar, headlight functioning.

Idk if its the light or not but that paint sure does look far from perfect.
Take cash up there and give him your offer dealerships will lower there price big time if you bring cash.
Of course if you don't have the cash you can still try to get it cheaper

Already bought...by me!
Just kidding. Looks pretty sweet, but the paint is definitely far from perfect. And the red hood vents do need to go. And that radio....not original.
Nice job dealership for saying it's all original.

That car has undoubtedly seen a rough(er) life. No way would I pay $11,000 for that. It's nice that it's a Hawk and all, but deep down it's still an LT1 with 77k on it. Shit I'll sell you MINE for $11k!
Dealerships LOVE trying to justify a ridiculously higher price because of a car's "rarity", but unless that thing has < 1000 miles it's not worth what they're asking. Then again, there's an ass for every seat. (TG anyone?)
I would offer them $7000 to start and pay $8000, TOPS, depending on the carfax.

I have seen this in person and the paint lookd really good. The pictures online make the car look worse than it does in person.

and yeah the picture it does look faded, i will have too look at it again. This car is at one of those small dealerships for sale though wouldnt suprise me if it was in a front end collision.

that car is NOT worth 11k ask for the paperwork thats its a genuine firehawk otherwise it isn't even worth 7k in that condition, like all the other guys say that car has seen rougher times

everybody keeps saying 11k but the add does say 8999 so the dealership doesnt think its worth 11k either,,i think it just looks really dirty in the pics so im not gonna judge it without seeing it in person
take a buddy or 2 with you and give it a good thorough inspection and if it passes the test go for it,,offer low and meet in the middle

yeah i bet, i seen the firehawk plaque inside the car didnt really look at it too good since I had to be somewhere.

Its true, pay what you want for it if you want it bad enough.
I just KBBed that Firehawk, and in EXCELLENT (Literally, no flaws. Pristine. Theres like only 5% of cars on the road that are even close to this catagory) its worth $6,790.00. Keep in mind this is using a MA zip code.... If your down south, the price will be a "LITTLE" higher most likely.
My offer? Id walk in with 6k, and walk out with that car or nothing. Only because I dont need another car, and I can play that hardball game. I just bought a friends 5.slow shitstang to mess around with (Im waiting for the flames on this one, this is really the first Ive mentioned it :D) so that will keep me more than busy for the time being along with the Hawk. If I wanted it THAT BAD? Maybe Id consider going to 7-8k.... But I mean, I dont usually WANT cars that bad anymore. I just pick the nice ones here and there when its not going to screw me finalcially (and I get a GREAT deal usually).

all I'm saying is it could be a clone and a firehawk badge inside means nothing you can buy them from slp. Look at the paperwork

I'm confused is it 11k or 8999?
Do the firehawks have fiberglass hoods? Headlights are metal, front end is fiberglass, sun light, etc... Makes for different colors in picture? Am I wrong?

when i called the guy he said 11k, the ad sais 8k so I guess if I was gonna buy it I would use that as my starting price haha

Sounds like the salesman didn't think you were serious and priced it high to run you off.

If it were "ME"
I'd but a nice LT1 Camaro/Firebird and with the extra money your are spending on the "Firehawk" You can throw at the car and make the Firehawk look like a V6 but thats me and like everyone says if you like it then who cares what people say

NO, firehawks do have a fiberglass hood and a plastic front bumper with the metal headlight covers. From experience with my car the headlights covers always look darker because the paint fades at different rates because of the material under the paint. I had ask my friend who has done body work for the past 8 years professionally.
