As of October 2026, CarSearch.Pro's True Value model estimates a typical Pontiac Firebird (1993-2002) Formula is actually worth $12,800 (fair range $11,300 to $14,400). Unlike the median asking price shown above, True Value is anchored to 100 recent confirmed sales, normalized for mileage, and blends auction hammer prices (grossed up for buyer's premium) with real-world asking behavior.
Sellers are currently asking a median of $15,000 — about 17% above what these cars have actually been selling for. That gap favors patient buyers: negotiate from the sold data, not the ask.
