is it worth it?
 
im lookin at a decent 92 camaro, its a v6, automatic, rs coupe, with 105k miles, slight rust under the wheel wells, she wants $2500 for it, (supposedly 22-26 mpg, truth or false?) is it worth it? or should i try and find somthing els

id say its worth it. 2500 i dont think is a bad price for that year. it could never hurt to try to negotiate to a lower price though. could you get some pictures of it?

NO...Keep looking.

Carefull with rust under the rear wheel wells. I'm dealing with that right now. I've got both QP's cut out and and I'm having a heck of a time finding inner wheel wells. My trunk pan is 100% perfect. The bad news is that those inner wheel wells are very tough to buy. Trunk pans all day long...but those, nope. I've been to junk yards out here for a while and can't find anything worth cutting out. We're getting close to buying a donor car, or fabbing them out of something. The area where the jack is is typically the worst.

I would say you really really need to check all the "typical" 3rd gen rust spots. They are all fixable, but they get $$$$$

its really up to you but if it was me i would say no.., the miles are pretty high and its got the small engine (would be better for gas though) and rust in a tough spot as djs383 said what are you looking to use the car for project or daily driver? i would keep looking and youl finf the one for you. good luck with your search

No, it's not worth that much. This past January I sold my 91 305 RS with 122k miles. It was RUST FREE, didn't need a paint job, was clean enough to eat off top and bottom, and had a perfect interior. The engine and trans was also very sound, and didn't use or leak oil. It really was a cream-puff, but I could only get $3200, but that was the winter market. With that, I even made a $1,000 profit over what I had invested in the car. I prolly could have gotten in the upper $3's for it in the spring, but I had my eye on getting something else to take advantage of winter time prices. In todays deflated car market, a rusty 6 cyl Camaro isn't worth anywhere near $2500. Maybe $1500...maybe, and that's if the rest of the car is in decent shape.
Oh, and the mileage? I got 28 on the highway with mine, averaging 75 mph.
