Default Good buy or no?

Im looking at a '99 Camaro Z28 to get for my first F-body and I wasnt sure if it was a good buy or not and im not sure what to look for when I go take a look at the car to make sure its all in good condition. Like I said its a '99 Z28 LS1, 92k, loaded options, leather interior, M6, all stock besides magnaflow catback and possible aftermarket lid, the guy wasnt sure of the brand cause the car is his son's. It has a recently rebuilt tranny and a new clutch done by a hopefully certified mechanic which ill need cause this will also be my first manual car. He's asking 6500, what do you guys think?

the price seems a bit low, so I would be a little suspicious. If the body is rough then 6500 is a good price, but if the body and paint is good then the cars is worth about 8000-9000 just because of the M6.

yea the body looks to be in pretty good condition from the pictures but originally he had it priced at 7600 but he just wants to get rid of it to free up some space and what not so he said he'd go down to 6500

If you like I could go with you to do an inspection of sorts. A couple more eyes never hurt right?
