1999 M6 SS Camaro Here's the link for the ad on CL.
http://westmd.craigslist.org/cto/3895435808.html
Owner advised car was lowered and has a Corsa exhaust on it from the original owner. The seller is the second owner (had it for two years now). He said only issue is A/C needs charging. Yea...that means there's a leak somewhere. Not sure about the tire situation either. Still have lots of questions to ask; hope to see car in next day or so. Black isn't this beggar's first choice but the miles are right to make me drive it and not make it a garage hobbit. Impression I get is the car is pretty straight. Definitely will cARFAX it too.
What say you?

Hey Matt, I remember you from last summer. I'm surprised you never bought an F-body in all this time.
I generally try not to assess CL cars so don't take it personal. I just don't want to be involved with recommending a car to anyone here when the car may be horribly misrepresented or part of a scam. Free ads are not good IMO, and even if legit, it can speak volumes about the owner being cheap (so how does he care for his cars?)

I understand completely Dave...no problem. I've owned one black vehicle in my life and it was sheer misery just trying to keep it half way decent looking. So I'm more than likely gonna pass on this one.
And while I haven't lost the interest in an F-body, I have been dealing with other issues in life that really occupy my time (work, caring for my Mom since Dad died, etc). An LS-1 is never too far out of my mind...lol.
Thanks for the reply. You're always willing to lend an "appraisal hand." I appreciate it!

Craigslist is notorious for flakes and scammers but there are some legit sellers out there as well. As a matter of fact, the last five cars I sold were through Craigslist, with three cars going to out of state buyers. That being said, $7995 is a fair asking price for a two-owner SS, as long as it has a clean title history and has been well maintained. Personally, I would not rule it out simply because it is listed on Craigslist.
