Default Picking up a 98 Z28 in a couple of days

I've test driven it and given a look over before. But are there any sure things I should look for before I hand over the money?

just try and make sure the previous owner took care of it. see if he kept up with the oil changes and regular maintnce id say. also check the rear tires

congrats! check for obvious wear and tear, other than that I reckon you're good to go. plus if anything on it is broken/worn that gives you cause to mod.

I guess mostly the obvious stuff. Check for leaks, get a carfax report if possible, etc etc...

Leaks, I have read of numerous Camaros leaking in the rear seat area. Out of any possible problems, leaks can be the worst. Moldy interior, cant find it, etc...

I've checked all the obvious stuff. I was just wondering if there were any specific things for that year model. Thanks. Now my only problem is dealing with the god damned titling/temp tags.
