Car Prices I just seems everytime i jump on autotrader or some other website I see trans ams around here (STL) with the prices extremely high! I look at places a couple hundred miles away and there tons of amazing deals! The average price where i like is about 16k for a decent trans am. Are the prices like this where you live?

Depends what you consider decent. I drove 11hrs to pick up my camaro. I know it's a risk and everything, but I wouldn't be afraid to drive a bit for the car of ur dreams...
. I've seen em on autotrader before i bought the camaro for about 10-12k...quite a few around 60k, 70k mileage wise.

A good car is worth traveling for. One-way plane tickets are less than $150 most of the time. Fly in, drive home. Anything less than 1,000 miles away can be done in a day.
I've bought cars from all over the country, hardly ever find what I want locally.

I'll drive a day one way to get mine. Try finding a 99+, white, white leater, 6-speed Camaro with the Y3F package and not have to drive a day!
Its fun to take a road trip with firends, stay over at a hotel and party, then blast off back home in your new ride.

Prices are crazy down here I checked out a red 98 T/A before I got my SS, all stock, interior was horrible, rips in the seats etc., rear was whining like a **** with 100k, they were asking $10K 
Thats how much I picked up the SS in my sig for with all the mods already installed, with 115K, very clean car,miles are high but I wanted a 01-02 cars for 10k or less. I flew out and drove back 5 hrs

I'm sure I could drive for 4 or 5 hours and go look at a car. BUT whats been happening is people are lying, or just not telling things, or waiting until i ask about it. I went and looked at a car a few days ago about an hour and a half away... I got there and the bumper needed replaces, side skirts were all scraped up and he tells me when i get there that the gears were missing a few teeth and the whole rear end was getting replaced... AND he lost his license.. wonder how he did that. Point is, I don't trust peoples own judgment on there own cars. I can't see myself flying out or driving 5 hours to look at a car... I'm sure a deal will pop up sooner or later!

I always think the f-bodies I see in Indiana Auto & RV are way overpriced for the mileage. Usually see stock WS6's and SS's with over 75k miles go for around $15k and up. You can find much better deals in the for sale section here on tech, like stated before, if you are willing to travel.

go on craigslist, i got my z28 for $5k. it has t-tops, vette rims, and some other stuff. it supposedly had a bad motor, so i sold the stock engine, bought an 6.0 for cheap, and got the tranny rebuilt. i now have a quick car with a low mileage engine and trans.
