Default Did i get a good deal?

Hey guys, I bought a 98 z28 camaro about 3 months ago. I paid 8700 for it. It is an a4, arctic white, with 71k (75k) now , and really clean. It was lady owned and she only drove it to work everyday. Did i pay a fair price for it. I thought i did but i really wanted the m6. The KBB was 9500 for a private party. What do you guys think? I see good deals on the classified on here all the time but i dont know. Maybe i should have waited? What could i get out of it now ?

If a 'lady' truly only drove it to work everyday then, yeah, you got a real good deal. Should be an easy 70k on it.

Definately, the most wear i found was coffee stains on the seat..
I have all of the records and it has a clean car fax.
Thanks for the input

artic white is a really nice color, and you dont see it that often, so i would say you didnt get ripped at all

I paid $11,500 for my 1998 Trans Am convertible with 72k miles on it. Not sure who drove it, but it was in very good shape. It didn't even have coffee stains. Mine is artic white too!

Sounds like a sweet deal, I got a 00 WS6 60k on the clock for 16K, I also wanted a M6, but couldn't pass up a car that a 56yr old lady ordered in 99!!It is great shape also in Arctic White. It is a great color when clean, really stands out. Only real problems I have found: there are many places on the car where she used touch up paint, rock chips etc. not to noticeable though. Enjoy the car, those Z's are sleepers.....

Yeah the arctic white with the black outs (awesome) does stand out. I guess i could always go witht the t-56 conversion or just suffice my desire for speed and get a stahl converter and shift kit. The car is growing on me now and I am going to start the mod process when i get the pos out for winter. I love christmas money.
