Talking Help me pick one!

Well i have a older guy wanting to pick up my 97 cobra next week and have found 2 camaro's that i (so far) narrowed it down to. the first one is a 98 NBM SS camaro wit t-tops and its a M6. "apeers" to be stock and its got 87k on her and there askin $9,977 here's a link to pics below...

the Next one is a 01 triple black Z28 vert and also an M6 with 104k on her...the thing that caught my eye is it has a Cam and "race tuned" exhaust(prolly LT's and cutout or some kind or straight through exhaust) and nice wheels and all and apeers to to be in better shape too. so i figured there's alot of good mods on this car that will save me the trouble of getting.(i'll try to find out what cam is in it if i go look at it and test it) there asking $10,995. here's some pics below....

now after looking at the pics and what i told u which one would u guys go for? miles dont bother me with either since i bought my cobra with 103k(now 117k) and what do YOUU guys think the pro's and con's for each of cars be?

P.S. -- I'll have about 3k after the cobra is sold for a nice down payment(rest is for college )

help me out guys! thanx!


Edit: and heres the 3rd one i found..but its auto and its very clean for $6,995 blk 00 Z28 A4 72k miles.

Get the 2nd 1!!! please get the 2nd 1!! lol its not even close. its way sexier and it has a aftermarket lid in it and u said a cam, LT's, custom exhaust, nice rims, plus it has the ls6 intake already and its basically only $1,000 more! despite it has more miles i think its better in looks and definitely performance compared to a STOCK 98!! If anybody comes in here and says choose the 1st 1, they lost their mind at child birth

Ok here goes nothing... The 98 ss as it may seem great for the price and all with low mileage, ive got a few questions when I say NBM that means never been molested as in drove into the dirt by joe blow "bonafied nascar drag racer"..... So if thats what you meen heres what I can see which may call for concern.... If im not mistake 98 ss came with a front grill so that means someone has taken that one off to make it look cooler probably "joe blow nascar guy" secondly that car came stock with a cd player and with that low of miles a stocker shouldnt crap out..... and why only throw in a cheap 139 dollar special from walmart back in the slot?? "joe blows poor" third no shift ball, that could just be missing who knows... but what id say would be to look at the gas and clutch pedal.. usual first signs of a bunghole raped vehicle is the gas pedals rubber cover at the top will be ripped down to the medal base or worn down, and the clutch will be worn down heavily to the top left corner all which shouldnt happen on a 87,000 mile car unless "joe blow gets drunk and fictiously races the daytona 500 with the car off..... the other car well you know its def been beat on to some extent people dont put cams in cars just to drive it to and from church or just to go pick up lassy from the dog groomers.... they get a cam to get more juice to the pedal.... take this all with a grain of sand.... even though ive said what i said about the SS id offer them 8100 on the SS and call it good .....

Both overpriced. The 98SS is 11 years old even though it has somewhat low miles. I would offer $7500 to $8k for it. Lots of nice cars on the classifieds here also

wow i think they r both nice....the 98 i would put a grill in anyways and put the stocker cd player back in and its gonna get cammed anyways. the 01 is a toss up. i like how its tastefully modded too and it'll save money since it has nice mods. lets face it, any used ls1v f-body we buy prolly has be beatin on at some point...as long as it puts down great power and isn't broken and DD friendly then were good

both overpriced, but those guys might not be expecting that much either.

1st one. nbm > black, way to many blacks. and since the second is a vert, you have to get a rollcage just to participate in many things.

also imo buying a heavy modded car just screams "i was raced" which means the other one was more likely babied and treated better.

I would go for the SS but I think you can do better on the price.

First off make sure its a real SS. Second be careful of buying an already modded car. Id probably take the SS personally.

Both VERY overpriced. Look elsewhere. Oh, NBM = Navy Blue Metallic, not Never Been Molested.

Definetly look elsewhere. You can find a less mileage car which it a lot better than buying a car with that many miles.
