Looks great, and the price is great too.

If it drives well, and looks as good in person, I'd say go for it!

It looks almost brand new, but i haven't got a chance to drive it yet. Thats what i'm going to do tomorrow. I'll let you guys know if i get it. Also, since it's a 2000, what kind of interest rate do you think i'll get? And does anyone here have gap insurance? thats what scaring my dad away from getting a longer loan (48 months)
I don't really like the wheels though, i might have to pick me up a cheap set of nice decent lookin 5 spoke chrome ones..Kinda like the ones in your sig.

Interest rate will depend largely on your credit history/score.

Last used car I bought was in '06 and the car was an '02. I paid 7% interest on the loan, and I didn't even shop around, I just used the bank that the dealer worked with. I have a very good credit score.

I never buy gap insurance, because my down payment is usually big enough that I'll never end up owing more than the car is worth at any given time.

The chrome ZR1/SS style 5-spokes are a very popular choice. That's what's on my car. Prices on them are pretty decent these days.

Nice looking car, I love Z28s. The insurance shouldn't be a huge problem. Good luck!

I already got a quote on insurance, 130 bucks a month under my name for full coverage. I'm trading in my Camaro And according to blue book values the difference shouldn't be greater than 7,500$....I'm actually happy it doesn't have T-Tops...i mean they're nice but i dont wanna deal with leaks and **** plus its cool to have somethin most newer Camaros dont. Its hard to find a 6spd around here with low miles and i'd rather have a 6spd and a hardtop than an auto with t-tops....thats for sure. It's pretty sharp looking though. Kinda a plain jane red but who cares when i throw some wheels on it.

I'd look at either www.tomzwheels.com or www.discounttiredirect.com

I think the prices at www.tomzwheels.com are cheaper. They are both site sponsors; can't go wrong with either one.

Honestly I'm not sure on prices used. I really haven't kept up on that. Best bet would be to check out our classifieds section.

Thanks.

The only reason it stays so nice is because I rarely drive it. Around Chicago, 4-6 months of the year the roads are usually covered with salt so the car sits in storage. The other 6-8 months, I only use it on the weekends when it's not raining. I don't take it to work becasue I have a really long expressway commute, and I see what it does to my daily drivers.... they have all kinds of rock chips all over the front bumper and hood. So many trucks around the highways here, pelting all the cars with rocks.
