Need expert advice I'm went and test drove this yesterday:
2000 Pontiac Firebird V6 3.8 automatic transmission 110k miles. Chameleon green/blue, T-Tops, A/C, power locks, power windows, clean interior and engine. When you start the car you have to give it gas.
The headlight motor is broken, the paint is peeling and scratched in places, especially the front, and the exterior panel behind the driver's door is stripped of paint (conveniently hidden in the pics). looks like they were getting ready to primer but left it incomplete.
What do you guys think I should pay this guy? He's asking 2650 for it. I would greatly appreciate any advice anyone cared to give. Thanks.

HELL NO!!!! wait another month or two and you will be able to buy an LS1 for around that price if the economy stays the way it is!!!
Truely not worth that price! I got mine for just twice that price, 67000 miles, extremely clean one owner!!!
Shop around you can find alot better F-body for that price!

i'd stay away. headlight motors are around $250ish alone and the paint would be really expensive.And that cars as standard as it gets, besides t-tops. you'll easily find another in better condition.

Only if you plan to strip it down and make a drag car out of it and sell off whatever is left as salvaged parts. Just my opinion. I wouldn't buy any of these without a V8.

Really can't go wrong for $1500 which allows for a few repairs that you will definitely need within months. Repairs add up in a hurry and you don't need $4,000 sitting in this car. You will take a beating when the time comes to sell.
