as of right now i drive a pretty sweet 5.0 mustang with heads cam and intake, but i get walked all day by my friends 99ss with a stall and exhaust.
so im sick of gettin whooped so if i cant beat'em might as well join'em

i founnd a 02 ss camaro 35th anny

it seems to be in perfect condition, no signs of abuse
it has 122k miles thats the only down part

you can find tons of other deals for that price. fbodies are pretty cheap now and you can probably find a ls1 for 10k with about 50k miles less than that.

oh i doubt its a real '02 aniversary ss, if it was the owner wouldn't put 122k on it. JMO

Not everyone bought f-bodies for their "collector car resale" - it wouldn't surprise me if someone just bought that car and drove it as a daily, especially with the complete lack of mods to it.

$9k is high for 122k, though.

Yup.. I would pass on that one. You could get one with a lot less miles for that price.

i agree! i searched all over the place for my car and was coming across tons of WS6's with under 100k miles for under 10 grand. Like SmokinAce said you might have to do some driving. im in the D. C. area and found mine in Ohio but i opted to have it shipped.

I went to a local dealership out here in DFW and found mine on thier website. It was in Cali, and I had it shipped out here to me. 42,000 miles and it cost me $10,500

I would say $8000 is more like it because of the miles.

I doubt it's an anniversary edition also. I've seen a lot of ads advertising special anniversary edition camaro's that were not red, some were V6's, etc.

People see the anniversary plate inside the car and think it's something special. All 2002's are 35th anniversary camaros.

Special Editions have a whole different option package.

seems high even if its a real 35th le. might want to try and pickup a low mile z28 there a little cheaper than the ss. and if your going to mod every things getting changed anyway. that being said i have a 2002ssle and love the le package. all depends on budget.

The color, the stripes, the wheels, the seats, etc. All different than a regular SS.

Exactly. They have one off wheels and stripes that make them really stand out.

I have a 2000 slp ss that has 120xxx miles and I paid 6800 for it so that that price is to high. Like everybody else says check the vin and the rest of the package is different. Research and findout before u get screwed on it.
