Hi, I have a 1999 Honda Civic... just kidding Anyways, I have a 1991 Cutlass Supreme that's about to go to Heaven, and I need a car to replace it. After reading all the nice posts on this website, I've decided to get an F-Body. At the most, I want to spend 15k, and that might be a little too high.

Here's a car in my area that I think is good:
98 Trans Am

It's an automatic, but I read on here about some things that could modify and automatic to make it pretty cool.

I make anywhere from $450-$600 a week, which I think is alright for a college student, so I want to upgrade this car right. I should also go ahead and tell you all that I know nothing about cars, but I'm learning everything I can by reading all the posts on this great site.

I'm also not absolutely set on a Trans Am, if you guys could find a better F-Body or LS1 for my price range in my area (46902).

Thanks a lot ahead of time,
Jeremy

An '02 would be better if you can find one in that price range(it is possible) , they have LS6 engine components on them already which= more power!

With the car market the way it is you can find better deals if you take your time. I also agree that a 02 z28 could be a better buy, you will almost always pay more for a ta.

TA's are typically running about $2k more. For $15K, you can get yourself a really nice, lower miles F-body. I'd keep shopping. Good Luck!! You're going to love these cars.

Dont let these guys tell u to get a newer year, if u can find a good deal with a '00+ get it...It's ur money and whatever car fits u works.

And let me tell u that whatever year camaro/TA u get it's an F body and u luv it

As long as its a T/A go for it, altough you can find a newer one, that 98 look decent.. hey im happy

No reason to stick to '01/'02 only. The older models have some advantages IMO, including price. Only thing I really like better about the '01/'02 is the intake. There are other changes on the newer models that I don't like......

Here's some camaros. I searched for birds on this site but none were price friendly.

02 Silver Z sport 35K miles $15000
01 Maroon Z 20K miles GM certified $15000
98 Teal Z 27k miles $9000

There were some others but those were ones I took note of. I found them all on Usedcars.com.

Man, both of those Camaros are killer deals. I'd go w/ the silver 6 speed if it were me. Autos are consistant, but I love shifting f-body's.

Um... What are you doing to be making nearly $600 a week and in college? I am in college and I only can work ~ 11 hours or so a week. Let me in on your secret please

I work as a programmer for a local county. I make their custom database programs and also help with desktop support. That's about 40+ hours a week, but only monday-friday. I take classes from 5pm-9pm on monday and wednesday nights, then I take two classes each summer term. It's my 2nd year of this kind of schedule, and I wouldn't have it any other way

Oh, and they only took off the Brickyard decals. Even though I'm from Indiana, and go to the Brickyard and 500 every year... I don't want those ugly purple stickers on there
