Looking at buying first fbody ss
Im looking at this 2001 camaro ss it has 14.5k miles and is very clean but has had 4 owners and has subframe connecters and makes a thud noise when shifting is that common on fbodys its not load I as thinking a bad rear trans mount? also sub frames on a car thats never been raced I dont see a reason for it she wont take less then 17K I offerd 16k it has no rare slp options only exhaust and grill whats it worth? http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...ice=&cardist=4
Also the KBB on the car is around 14K for privite party seller and 16.3k for dealer I know thats a lil low but is the car worth that much more? it will cost me 18k after tax the original wheels and tire do not come with the car

I am not really sure what would be considered a good deal either but there was one I was looking that had 15xxx miles and they were asking $15500 it was an 01 SS m6 stock but states it had slp 18 inch zr1 so not sure if they were different wheels or what cause as far as I knew, i thought they were only option as 17".

um.. i think 17k isnt out of the picture for a low mile 01 ss like that- and being a stick car- if u have 17k in a car with that low of miles- your ahead of alot of guys on here - who wished they had a low mile ss.. also - the hard bang noise- does it have an aftermarket torque arm? i would get it up on a rack and check before buying it - and seeing there are other issues.. but 17k isnt bad at all!

from looking around here its an ok deal but its not great but i didnt check the torque arm its possible but Im shying away from the car because of the amount of owners and the noise if im spending 17k I wanna know what im getting for sure it has sub frames which worry me
