Default Keep or sell #521 95 Firehawk w $9700 SLP options

Bought a 1995 Firehawk a while back and am just wondering on the market of these cars, Is my car rare by any means, something worth holding on to.
Specs

1995 Firehawk black on black cloth, hardtop, 6-speed with 28k miles
#521 of 600 with the SLP level II suspension package is probably the main plus for this car.

I would personally classify this car as being in #1.

I have a pics of the option list from SLP also, and the window sticker, documentation etc.....

Here are some pics of the car, let me know what you guys think and what you would do.

It's 1 of 215 black '95 Hawks, or 1 of 97 with the graphite interior

I would keep it if I wasn't in a pinch of money

Well if it were a LT4 edition that would be better. I can honestly say I've seen alot of clean LT1 coming out of the garages for sale due to the economy and people are giving up their garage queens right now. I personally dont see anything that would make it any better than anyone elses at the point. But it sure is a clean LTX for sure. Here is mine

How much are you selling it for? I'd say you could prolly get around 8.5K for it.

Zero fear, Thats all this cars worth, I must desagree, I know there not super expensive rite now but the slp options alone are almost 10k. If it were a higher mileage car I wouldn't mind unloading it for that. This cars only got 28k miles, if it had bout 10k miles less I think it would fit into that bracket with the collectors, I could always wait a couple years though.

Is the Level 2 suspension rare by chance, because it was pretty expensive from SLP

Keep em coming boys I want to know what everyone would do and what you would possibly sell the car for.

You should probably just keep your car, its really nice and you seem to be enjoying it. Unless you got super lucky, the most you could get for your car is someplace between 8 or 9k. I'm sure most people would agree, as an LT1 averages around 5-6K if its really really nice.

I appreciate your opinion.

Sorry not meaning to be rude but you telling me I will only get 8-9k tops for my mint, and yes I mean mint 28k mile #1 condition firehawk is really upsetting, owell thats what I get for starting a tread like this. I have driven the car 25 miles in the past 2 years.

All that needs to be said is were are you gonna find another Hard top 6-speed firehawk, with all SLP options that really count and low miles? Only time will tell

Out of all the 1995 Firehawks listed on file for firehawk.org site the car is 1 of 14 cars with the Sport Suspension Package Level 2.

Does anyone by chance know if you had a level II suspension, would the car have to be ordered as a hardtop?

It's a buyers market right now if you are trying to sell. You would be hard pressed to find a buyer at a price you find fair, it seems. Even with low milage I would say the most you could get for the car is 10-12k. I've been wrong before though, and maybe you can find a buyer for more than that.

If you can afford to keep it sitting around and not put you in any financial bind, then I would keep it. I had a Hardtop 99 A4 Formula Firehawk with cloth, Bilstein, chrome wheels, and floormats, and with 40k I only got 13 for it.
