90k Miles 2nd owner? Worth it? I found a car near me , its a 2000 Pewter Camaro Z28 with 90k on it. It has cloth interior and chrome wheels and an A4. The car is second owner owned by a husband an wife older couple. The car when i say is clean is an understatement. I would feel safe pouring soup onto the block and eating it after it heated up. The cars only mod is a K&N Filter and a kenwood head unit....so its unmodded lol It runs and drives like it just rolled off the floor. 90k miles to me is alittle high to buy a car , he is asking 7,500 but is willing to negotiate. How are these cars in terms of lasting , i will be daily driving the car every single day.
Input is greatly appreciated

The inspection will just affirm what everyone is saying. This is a major BUY situation for you even at the asking price (but of course offer less in CASH). Sounds like easy miles with another 90k possible. Not needing tires or brakes right away is another major plus. Maintenance records would be very beneficial and hopefully they changed the oil regularly. If no records I would strongly suggest changing the coolant and tranny fluid for starters, fuel filter and power steering fluid too. This will put everything on your maintenance schedule instead of wondering when it was done. You would be set for years to come other than the 'normal' battery, belts, wear issues. Good luck!
