Default Contemplating getting a Camaro

Allright, well im a Jeep guy, but I have a soft spot for muscle cars.

Someone locally is selling their 1984 camaro (147,000 kms with rebuilt engine) 3 speed automatic, from the photos it looks super clean, and its in pretty good condition. He wants to trade it for my jeep. Heres some photos, acording to him he had everything redone, and only thing is the interior seating is showing signs of age.

looks awesome...but check for rust and do a pressure test on the cooling system to check for good head gaskets

I hope you don't live in a cold climate...Looks like NO heater/defrosters. Between the Jeep & Camaro it will be toss up which is going to cost you more.

That TJ is worth a lot more than any average 3rd gen. Definitely NOT an even trade.

yea, maybe the camaro plus $2k for the jeep, and him pay all the transferring fees. theres no air box on the camaro, so no heat. otherwsie the car looks like someone had a good idea on what they were doing

I agree with everyone else, that jeep is definitely worth more than an Average thirdgen in decent condition, see what he wants to give you ontop of that camaro
