Default Aspiring to have a Camaro soon

Hi! I am an aspiring Camaro owner and I desperately want to be one soon. If I may ask, what would be the price range for a 2002 T-Top? How is the maintenance cost going to be like? How is the gas mileage?

Thank you in advance!

Price depends on your location and how bad someone needs to unload the vehicle. Take a look at as many advertised vehciles in your area as possible in news papers, car trader books, internet etc to get an idea of what the going price is for your area.

As far as maintance, if you are going to pay someone to do it, it is going to be expensive as it is with any vehicle. If you are going to do the maint yourself, it shouldn't be too bad.

Gas mileage? I can't answer that. I get to do the wrenching and everyone else in my family gets to do the drivin!

My mom's gotten 27-28 mpg highway with her 2000 3.8. If you don't beat the crap out of it, you should be able to average 25 no problem.

I picked up my 1994 3.4 for $1200. Just a couple things wrong with it which have been fixed now for an additional $400. 175xxx miles tho. But she runs like a champ.
