I'm most likely going to be attending a college in Texas, which if very far away from my home state of NY. I'm probibly going to sell my 94 Camaro (3.4L V6) and try to find a nice F-Body in Texas when it comes time to move. I would really like to get a 98-02 Trans Am. Would I be able to buy a clean one there for $7,500 - $8,000? Or should I be expecting to pay more?

Thanks
-Mike

 

F-body's are hugely popular down here, especially in the Houston and D/FW areas. You can find a deal but sometimes it takes time to find it. For your price range you may be able to find '98-'00 that are clean but you're going to see most, if not all, of them have been modded in some way. I think '01 - '02's may be just out of your price range, but you never know. Low and mid-mileage LS1's are getting harder and harder to find. Good luck and welcome to Texas (get ready for the heat).

 

there are alot of f-bodies it texas. its getting harder and harder to find stock one but g/l with it. like blue Z said 01-02 might be a little out of your price range with low miles, and Welcome to texas

 

Look for a 99 or 2000. I bought a bone stock fully loaded 02 Z28 with 50k last April for $14k the newer ones are still out of your range.

you will be able to find one no problem as long as your moving to a big city or willing to drive across the` state

 

All I got to do is just finish up high school, and then pass the test to get into SAM, and i'll be down there.

Are there a lot of car shows in the Houston area?

I'm going to miss the NY summers (75-80 degree days), But am going to be happy leaving the snow in NY during the winters.

 

alot of car shows, meets, and tracks, but get ready for the texas heat its a bitch in the Summer time

 

just be patient and you will find one for your price range

 

And so is the humidity anywhere south or east of San Antonio.

 

I actually think Dallas has it the worst. Blazingly hot humid summers and ice storms in winter.

Houston FTW!!!!!

 

yes but you are always humid -arent your temps about same as ours?

 

Yeah but in Dallas we dont have to worry about evacuating and driving up I 45 to get away from hurricanes.

 

lmao, DFW FTW!!!!

 

my 02 z28 costed me 13800.00
car had 46,000 miles on it, 1 owner.
I found it here in dallas, but I also got lucky since it was the 1st day the guy put it in an ad, and after that the guy got sick and was not taking calls for 1 week.

I finally got a hold of him, and he bumped me in before the others to look at the car since I could get there before everyone else...LOL
I got there at 8am in the morning on a Sat.
drove home with the car by 8:45am that Sat..

sorry people who couldnt get there earlier missed out.


good for me though... But good luck on your find and your move.

 

Welcome and you should find one in that price range.

 

75-80* summers? we have 75-80* February's

 

I always thought Houston was like F-body central. Bought mine last December. A 1998 that was pretty much BONE STOCK.
