RE: bull****, im ready to get rid of my car
ORIGINAL: ninetysixyenko
i sold my 96 with 136kmi, and needed 2 gas tank holes plugged, and EGR valve went in and out(never affected performance for some reason though, jus spit code.) for 3400... i had it listed for 4200. but the kid asked if i'd take 3000. i said no, and let it go for 3400, with the 1000dollar stereo... lol. he told me i could take the stereo outta it if i wanted. but i had no use for it. all was custom fitted for the camaro.
her in NY, there's plenty of 93-97 V6s, 3.4s and 3.8s, selling for well abover 5000 atm. and theres 98+ v6s selling for 9000+ and LS's selling fo between 9000 and 22000 depending on milage.. it actually went up, instead of down(cheaper in spring and summer) getting towards winter.

lol, rite? well it actually surprises ya... the owner before me drove mine in winter, and i didnt even have a spot of rust.. but, yea anyway, i've seen alot of ppl around here have there "winter beater" be a trashed up 4th gen, and then come summer time, it's all blown 3rd gens up here.[8D]
i never drove mine in winter, but i had all the studded tires and everything. although, it'd be fun to do snow donuts.
i actually live in lake george/glens falls area.... im thinking the prices go up on the nice ones during spring/winter, is cuz thats when most people are looking to buy them, to either mod over winter, or cuz they think it'll be cheaper.
i mean yea, i've seen alot of them with rust spots on doors, or beat to hell looking rims, and all go for 2grand or so, but that's like rock bottom on 'em up here, regardless of year and condition.

All in all it don't sound tooo bad...a power steering issue (pump or rack and pinion) is not a big deal. As for the trans slippin it looks like you got a 5 speed......change the dang clutch....it shoudln't take more then 4-5 hours while drinking, if it was auto it would cost more to fix a slippin trans.....

Spartan...why carbed???? FI is so much more reliable and easier to tune. Carbs almost always need tuning to run at their best. Yeah FI sucks when it goes bad, but the electrical components for the FI typically don't go bad all that often. I have an edelbrock victor jr with a Holley 750 cfm carb if you really want it, I swapped my old camaro to FI for the reliability.
