Default Is this LT1 worth the money?

I have recently been looking into getting into another f-body but sadly there aren't many to choose from in my area. I went and looked at it and it was really clean inside and out. KBB has it around 6400 but he has it at 7000. I think i can get him to 6000 but is that still to expensive? It's been a while since i have looked at the f-body market and i was hoping you guys could help me out.

Thats more than I would pay. KBB has it at $6,400 for a personal seller with that many miles?? I would think it to be lower.

I think its a bit much for the miles that are on it, I paid 5k for my 95 formula with 97xxx miles and I know mine was on the high side by a few hundred bones.

over price, the owner properly dont know the real price. offer him 3500. I bought mine for 3300 113k miles, that have full exhualt system with header, smog pump delete, alot tune up stuff already been done, and ac blow cold. keep looking man, I PROMISE SOMETHING BETTER WILL COME UP. I know how you felt, i felt the same way 2 week ago after 3 month searching.

if you like it don't let it go by. It's got a clean interior and clean body, that saves you a lot on upgrades later, you just have to maintain that. Those other deals for 4k or 5k if they are that clean, than wait for them.

Don't be afraid to negotiate with the guy too, sometimes being too knowledgeable doesn't help. How long has he owned, is there documented history on repairs, improvements, etc...find out and dig in, what it's worth at this point is hard to compare apples to apples, these cars are getting to be 15 years old, a difference of 1-2k in resale now wouldn't surprise me depending on condition and maintenance.

That is way too much.

Six years ago I bought a '95 Formula for $7600 with 54,000 miles on it, nice condition too. Considering six years has passed and the car has an additional 70k that is a rip, I'd personally pay no more than $4000 max. You could find an LS car with similar mileage for $7-8k.

Yub some peoples actually did that and try to fool other, up here have this guy put really nice pix of some one else car ( very blurry ), he ask 2500 for it, and when I come check the car, it all trash and he try to swap out the fuse system box, he actually cut whole fuse box out the engine and try to wire each wire to another fuse box wtf. I saw that and I walk away without saying a word ( wasting my time ) 2 month later I saw it again for sale for 500 dollar lol, what a douchebag.

I got $4700 on KBB for good condition FULLY LOADED 96 Camaro Z28. Unless if there is a significant amount of mods, a warrantied replaced factory engine, or looks clean as hell and you are willing to pay the extra $2300 for it, go for it.

You could also buy my Trans Am in the for sale section too

Very clean, but too much in my opinion. Keep your eyes open.

The transmission has about 2500 miles and is automatic on it and the rear end has about 2500 miles. It also has a dvd/cd player recently installed. The car runs great. Call or text 201-675-9581 for more info. WTF ? and asking only 3500 ?
