he only wants 3500 for it but here is the catch.. it has 155000 miles and runs ruff i here no bad sounds from the engine as for failer no time soon but has no exhast and idles fine but 1st and 2nd is ruff untill you get to 3rd gear and the car smooths out, trans seems o shift fine.. just wanted to know is it worth buying and putting some money in to to make a nice 7k car after im done????

 

2800 and no more. if the body is staright.

 

so you think i can bring the engine back to life with a top end rebuild

 

Make the guy take it to a shop and have it hooked up, see what alls wrong with it and sounds like the forks might be bad in the transmission between gears or could be other things as well, trans could be ab to fall apart for all you know. Tell him if he wants to sell it then take it to a shop and have it tuned or just a regular check up let the guys check the oil, and trans fluid, and run a few tests on it and then you can see just how bad/good it is.

 

ok well i found another car its a 98 trans am and has 103000 for 5000 its all stock and silver reall nice car do you think is worth 5k if not how much

 

3500 and its drivable but runs rough????is oil pressure good???any smoke????and the tranny shifts fine???if the title is clean and the body is straight id jump on it.....or atleast in my area that would be a good deal...

 

thats a pretty good price. as for the other one with 155k, id definetely see what is causing it to run rough before id buy it. check engine light on?

 

alot harder to tune a 98 f-body .

 

yea that's the firrst thing I looked at was the tuning for the 98 and could fine nothing..its always the first year of a new gen that I hate...

 

for the one with the 155000 every light seems to be on lol..check engine and low oil

 

low oil? id check the oil, it could just be the sensor. if its low on oil, find out when it was last changed and also where/if its leaking. if it doesnt leak, then dont buy it unless you have the money to replace the motor soon b/c the rings could be shot..

 

what software to you all use to tune a 98 or do i have to send it in to get tuned...

 

id keep looking, I have a guy close to me selling a very nice trans am, ls1 6spd for $6000. The car only has 60000 miles on it also. Its a really nice car, also have saw similar cars to it for around that price.

 

johnls1camaro what is your lov? may have to make a trip down there lol

 

Mine is a 98 and HPtuners tuned by TTPerformance and the car runs really nice. No problem whatsoever because its a 98 Matt at TTP awared me of.

I woud buy this and be ready to replace SB with a 408, along with nice heads and boltons!! you could get a 500rwhp monster for 10K LOL, if body and interior is straight...
