Good deal?

Found this little gem

Think it has too high of mileage? Thinking for the price its not that bad at all. Plus from the crappy pictures it looks to be a SOM

98 w/ 72k on it for under 7, seems like a decent deal.

It's not SOM (SOM is an '01-'02 only color)...it's actually ROM (Red-Orange Metallic) also called Cayenne Metallic on the Camaros...

anybody notice how poorly the paint on the door matches the fender in the 8th pic? Not that it's a huge deal, but i'd be curious if it were wrecked before after seeing that

That's probably why every picture is taken from far away.

Nice color, and it's a hardtop. Headlights look a little foggy, but that's an easily corrected problem. I wouldn't consider 75K anything to be worried about, but then again it's luck of the draw I suppose. Too bad it's in Vegas. Depending on what you're looking for, I think it'd be worth taking the trip if you're planning to purchase.

75k isnt bad for these cars, the price is good but it makes me wonder why the pics are so far away...maybe it only looks good from 20ft away. To give you an idea...in my area there is a white SS auto and its a 2000 and asking price is 9888, and it has 113k miles.
