I wouldn't worry about them leaking. Mine don't. That will reduce your chances of finding one by about 90%. I went out
ing today so I figured I'd go down L street to see what i could find. I stopped at about 10+ dealerships and this is what I came up with.
98-02 Trans Am WS6 25,000 miles asking 22,500 very nice foose wheels but asking way too much!
98-02 Camaro Z28 125,000 miles asking 11,900....WAY too much. Very nice car none the less. Black, A4, very nice.
97 Camaro 30th anniversary edition 25,000 miles 14,000 WAY too much. Stick though.
98-02 Camaro white and some stock wheels.....wasn't very nice so I kept driving.
Dude that's all I found and I stopped at 10+ places.
There's not much out there, but I'll keep my eye out. This one guy brought me inside to check the database and couldn't find anything after 20 minutes and I gave him a wrong number so he couldn't bother me about it. I got a whole bunch of compliments on my car though!
I stopped at this one place that I had looked at before cuz they had a 98 SS a while back and he seen I found one and couldn't believe I was looking for another one for myself...haha But seriously dude take a good look at that silver one you found......it's very nice.

I sold my car, so i really need to find something now! The guy with the silver Camaro said he wont take under 12k for it..Is it true i couldn't even get a 3 year loan on a 99? I'd want at least a 4 year loan to cover that price..My dad's also tryin to keep me away from goin over 3 years cause he said thats ridiculous to go any longer

I went with a 4 year, 3.9% loan on my 2000 Z28 (22000 miles, cost $14000 about 3 years ago) and that is running me $348 a month.
Now, on an $11000 loan, lets assume that SOMEHOW a kid like you can pull off a 7% loan (which wont happen Im sure, even w/ a cosigner, I bet you have **** for credit), a 3 year loan will run you $340 a month just about. A 4 year loan for $12000 at 7% will run you about $287.
Now, I dont know what kind of job you have, or your dad's job, but if he seems so quick to mock the fact of needing a longer loan as a younger kid then he must have plenty of cash in the 1st place, so tell him to pony up some of his own for you haha. I remember when I was 19 working full time at $7.50 an hour (this was only 4 years ago, by the way), I only pulled in $1000 or so after taxes I think. Thats beans if you ask me, and considering all the stuff you will need to pay to go with it (insurance is going to hurt you), a longer loan should NOT be out of the question. Loan rates blow *** right now, too - so that wont help you.

Well I saved a couple thousand working at pizza hut fulltime during college...sucked...made 6/hr.
I quit college and worked at a factory making 11/hr but they had 17/hr overtime. And I managed to save 1500 a month after I paid rent, cell phone and other crap...so it can be done.
Now I'm in the military and a I don't make half what I used to...it really sucks so good luck with whatever you decide to do. If you think you can't wait one more year then I'd go with the 4 year loan...but i'd just wait if it were me. I think we figured it out that we make a bout 6/hr...i need to figure it out again cuz I got a raise. But at least I don't have rent anymore.
P.S. don't forget about taxes, registration, and crap. It ran me about $700 by the time i paid for the title and inspections and other random stuff, like license plates.

Just another question. My dad also seems to think that the bank won't loan me the full amount. Keep in mind i have 0 credit. But he has awesome credit and we've been with them for years. Also, do you think they'll give me a 4 year loan on a 99 or 00? I was reading that they don't judge how long of a loan they'll give you on the year but rather the MSRP of the car. This is really pissing me off.

I live in South Dakota and Ive found a bunch of LS1 cars, I would think Nebraska would be better than here. The only problem is I have yet to find a "good" deal or exactly what I want.

If he makes you get a personal loan, feel free to bring lube, because the interest rate is going to hurt, even with your dad co-signing. Otherwise if he co-signs on an auto loan, it wont be too bad...but shop around, and get a good rate.

Also, it has the square tip exaust. I'd probably just get a new muffler and some nice round tips. Where should i look to get a good muffler and tip package? I was lookin at magnaflow but i'm not sure if would like the sound. Help me out guys.

Agree on a price before you fly out, and make sure that both of you agree on that price as long as the car is exactly as stated. If not, you can talk the seller down a bit or walk.
It isn't a waste of time if you find exactly what you are looking for.

We test drove a few mustang V6's.....i almost bought one. but then we stopped by a place with an older 96 z28...like 65k miles. Even with that LT1 damn does it scoot. and it was an auto.
