correct me if im wrong but wouldnt looking at used high mileage(100k-150k) car thats been modded throw a red flag. i mean why would someone mod there car in the first place?
probably to race it or beat the **** out of it, def not for a daily reliable driver no?
great advice
overprice by how much? KBB is saying its worth around $3600-$3700.
I did pull a carfax.. its clean title ,2 owners, no accidents etc..
guys keep em coming im seriously considering, might even drive out there this sun
got them down to 3k
did your burn any oil, is that normal, with that many miles what else would you pay attention too?
echo echo echo..236 views later, anybody else??

I would consider looking for something else, 96 V6 131kmiles seems to be overpriced. Try talking them down on price,get a Carfax, and buy what you like. Goodluck. Example my brother has a 2000 model v6 camaro has around 80k miles sold it for 5000. Never wrecked/damaged or anything.

I just sold my 96 3.8 for about that price. It had 142k and ran like a champ. So I'd say it could be a reasonable deal. Teen owner isn't always a bad thing. I got my 96 when I was 16 and drove it right up until I got my Z28 this summer. I took immaculate care of it; better than most adult owners.
Now you could probably find a Z28 in that same price range. All depends what you want. Z28 will be more fun, but the 3.8 is still quick with good gas mileage.
I'd say if it's what you want, go look at it, check it out thoroughly, and get a feel for the owner. If you like it, there's nothing wrong, and she seems honest and caring for the car, then go for it.

...she says the car is in great condition(wash once a week) reliable, and has never been into an accident or given here any problems.also did the carfax and its verified. only thing she mentioned was the engine was burning little oil and she puts little in between oil changes...
whats the big difference between the z28 vs rs? specs, maintenance cost, reliability, problems, mileage etc..? this is for a daily driver and im kinda tight with money this month. also how much would it cost to buy and install a borla dual exhaust if i decided to buy a base model?correct me if im wrong but wouldnt looking at used high mileage(100k-150k) car thats been modded throw a red flag. i mean why would someone mod there car in the first place?

I would skip on that deal, and wait a little longer for a nice lt1 camaro or trans am. You wont regret it. Let us know what you decide on.

i wouldnt buy it, like everyone else is saying just find a lt1, i bought mine for under 1500 and ive only got about 3600 into it total, better deals are out there and IMHO V8's are better than a V6, and the gas milage is very close to one another! Good luck in your choice though!

its kinda hard to know if its a good deal unless you see it in person and try it out. It kinda looks good though. Ask the owner what brand intake and exhaust it has, and if it has any leaks. Mainly to get an idea if hes an honest person, or just making things up. Whats his asking price?
also shouldn't the crash cage throw a flag..

it would, if the car had slicks or a cam or some major mods. But on a stockish car, it just seems kinda weird or ricey. For 3k id definately go check it out though. Keep us updated.
