I don't think you paid too much at $19k. The '98 PC tends to hold it's value very well for a late model car. Chevy didn't flood the market with them like they did with the 50th Aniv model. Tell you what, I will give you $20k for it right now! That's a thousand bucks profit in just a couple days.

Thanks for the offer wallemon, but I think I am going to keep it for a while, its been about 5 years since I sold my '84, and I wan't to enjoy this one!! I forgot to mention that its a 6 speed. It also has mirrors on the inside of the trunk lid that I can't decide if I want to remove or not. The problem is that the lift struts can't open the trunk because its too heavy with the mirrors.

Its also got some sort of Corsa exhaust, with stainless tips.

Here's a few pix, what do you guys think??

I think I would take the mirrors off of the trunk lid. Why carry around all that extra weight? There are numerous pieces that you can put in the trunk lid indentations that weight almost nothing and really dress it up back there. It is not something anyone is going to see unless you display your car at a show with the trunk lid up.
I think you got a beautiful car at a very fair price. If I wasn't so car rich and cash poor I might just hunt for a 98PC myself.
