New From Kansas City well im new
i currently don't own a camaro my dad used to own a 3rd gen camaro z28 with the L69. but yeah the real reason i came on here is too really ask for advice. i have found a 2001 camaro z28 with a 6 speed ttops and it has 126,000 miles on it. the place is asking 9 g's for it but he said we can work a deal. basically i am NOT paying no 9 g's for that car with that many miles.
but do you guys think that is high mileage for an 01 camaro??
i am really debating this because i have been a proud honda owner three times so i love imports as well but im not a hater by any means i always had a love for camaros specifically.

Welcome
Its not an 'unreasonable ' amount of money for 01 depending on what kinda shape it is in. Miles on the car are one thing, abuse is another. If its at a dealership, they usually price things a bit high and are somewhat flexible on price.
Keep us posted.

ok so i came back from test driving it. and well ive never driven an american muscle car before and i LOVED IT!!!!....im convinced that im gonna get a camaro/trans am. but there were some things that concerned me like when i was driving the transmission would be kinda hard to go into 2nd gear it has a short throw shifter. but i would try hard to get it in and it wouldn't go then i would mess with it and then it would slip in.
another thing i noticed was while i was driving i could hear some grinding noise in the rear passenger side like it sounded something brake related. i would drive and when i would start to slow down and step on the brakes it felt like the tire had a ball in it(if youve ever had a ball in your tire it feels like it goes over it every rotation).
the interior has little things missing like the small panel on the driver side door(little triangular piece)
the windows used to be tinted and in missouri cars are inspected and if the tint is too much they take it off well thats what they did and they just ripped it off and it looks bad(not a big deal IMO but just stating)
and what i was concerned most with is that i saw some oil around where the valve cover gaskets are at. i mean the gaskets look good but i just saw some oil(looked a bit old) around that area.
oh and i forgot to mention
IT HAS VETTE RIMS AND A $3000 SOUND SYSTEM!!! :]

If it's as you describe...I'd have a hard time paying over $6k for it. And I highly doubt the previous owner would spend $3k on a sound system and just leave it in the car. That's just extra weight to slow you down, anyway.

yeah man im gonna have to agree with you. i mean the guy told me he is flexible on the price but how much unless i get it for 4 g's or something lol then im not messing with it. the car has had 4 owners also so im curious as to why they have let it go so many times.
the gasket thing really didn't bother me as much,what really bothered me was the transmission. because like i said it would be hard to get it into 2nd gear.
so im going to take my time and do this right i want a clean 98-02 camaro for around 7K to 8K with not tooooo many miles 110,000 sounds okay.
