Smile 1989 Camaro Need help with Purchase!

Well Im in a bit of a debacle, a guy down the road from me is selling a 1989 350 v-8 5.7l camaro with only 49,000 original miles. He just installed a new head unit and speaker system, its t tops and they are in great condition. The car legitamently looks new. The ac blows cold its got all power options its a nice car. His asking price is 9,500 you guys think its worth it? It seems a bit high to me but the car is an absolute beauty.. Please let me know!!

ummm 9500 is a little high in my opinion. It does have low miles but still a little high. Do you know how many owner. Cause if he were the original owner then it may be worth it.

Think of it like this.... Are you gonna keep it for the long run? if so yes buy it..... if you trade your cars faster than mcdonalds sells cheeseburgers, forget it

It sound high. What Camaro is it? IROC, or Z28? If it's an RS, it would not have a factory 350. It should be a TPI if it is a factory engine. I would look around man. There are many very nice Camaros out there for a lot less that might need a little tlc, but won't break the bank. How are the tires? Factory wheels? Has the engine been modified? Headers? Exhaust?

think of this,if it needs nothing except you to drive it GET IT.but have it inspected first to make sure its all its touted to be.if everything checks out (and i mean do your due diligence) a car like that cant be found here in tn for any price.OR you could just go buy a new KIA

well my thoughts were MODIFIED camaros are about all we here in tn can find.it is near impossible to find a third gen car that has not been "customized" i thought you had found a ORIGINAL car
