Default How much should i expect to pay for this car?

99 z28 auto with 54,000 miles on it (bone stock). it is fully loaded dark leather 12 disc monsoon, traction control, t-tops and the list goes on. It has brand new kumho tires on it as well as new pads and rotors at all four corners. The car is in above average condition.I do have some pics that i can email. The only "problem" is that the rearend whines on decel after it is up to temp. I pulled the cover a couple weeks ago, the ring and pinion looked good so i am pretty sure that it is pinion bearings

Uh, with cash maybe?



Sorry, I guess you meant "how much" should you pay. But I just couldn't resist.

10-12k...rear whine is prolly nothing BUT these rears can be a huge pita...might want to get a good wrench to look at it..NOT THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER.They don't know their azz from a hole in the ground.One thing i would have checked is the fuel lines and fuel rail...known for rusting and causding a 2000+ bill...look here http://service.gm.com/gmtechlink/ima...me.html#story7 carefully consider this..i bought a 99 with low mileage and got a nice 3600 dollar bill when the complete fuel system was rusted badly.Cars with low mileage for the year sit undriven alot....any moisture in the fuel system will eat it to pieces...+ ethanol in the fuel causing water to be throughout the system because it holds it.Another weird effect of a returnless fuel system is the effect that the water can't get through the injectors...so it ends up collecting in the fuel rail with no place to go,rusting the rail from the inside out.

I picked up my 99 T/A last month with 25,000 miles, showroom condition never seen rain, borla exhaust, ram air hood, uti short stick, and whisper lid for $13,750 and I think I got a sweet deal on it. From what I had been seeing the Camaros are going cheaper than the T/A's so the most I would say you should pay, in the shape you described is prolly like $11.5k


EDIT: I didn't see the rear end whine part, so the most Id say you shoudl pay is prolly like $10.5-$11k

$10K range seems about right.
