bought an ls1 today...is this a good deal?

i bought a 99 trans am with 29,500 miles(white i think arctic white?) at a dealer for 14,000 out the door. it has the monsoon, 6-speed, leather, and t-tops. is this a good deal? also, i noticed that in the battery area it looked like the battery had leaked because of the paint had been eaten away around the battery. could this mean anything else? the dealership ran a history check and it came out clean. there was only one owner only before me. the rest of the car is very nice. what do you all think? thanks!

If the car was spotless and immaculate than I'd say its a fair deal. If you paid that much for a car that's been ragged on and not well taken care of, then you definetly got hosed.

don't always believe them when they say a doctor owned the car. My dad owns a dealership and that is just one of the many lines they will feed you and stick to till the end I know this is hard to believe but used car dealers sometimes lie haha but congrats bro I would love to have that car
