point is, you can find them, they're out there. They might not be show cars, but who got a show car as their first car ever?

 

Hahaha that Mercedes is awesome. Thanks for posting all those hopefully I can get $4k soon (I'm thinking around mid July). I already have $1000 saved up so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

 

Yeah for 4000 you should have no problem finding one. I live in nj right near pa so I kinda see what there going for.

 

Alright so the general consensus is that I can find plenty of camaros for 4000. Thank you every one.

 

caveat emptor


ask your parents what that means

 

I think I might already know what it means...

 

Most are over $4k, all well over the 100k mark, and the only one that's anywhere near PA is the heap from NYC. For an extra $500 you get a car that was backed into, lacks an interior, and needs a rear to go anywhere.

There are great deals out there, but most are rough around the edges and far away. Not ideal first cars for someone who doesn't seem mechanically inclined.

 

I love how I ask a simple question and basically get ridiculed for it. This wouldn't be my first car either...

 

you aren't being ridiculed at all. Here is a quote from your first post

"I was wondering how much do you think I should save because I am trying to get a v6 preferably automatic"


do you not see from that simple sentence that our takeaway is, and rightly so that you did not even look to see what they cost in your area and did not understand that LS references an engine and not a model. So, you get treated from a protection perspective where posters will want to protect you from buying a heap just so you can say you have a 4th gen

When i saw the links which were offered up I naturally posted "caveat emptor" because not a one of them strikes me as an ideal vehicle unless you plan on leaving it on jack stands and working on it. Personally, I'm not spending $4,000- $5,000 for a vehicle with a torn interior, crappy rug and high miles. There had best be a tradeoff at that price, either excellent exterior/interior and powertrain needing work or vice versa.

I hope you do buy a 4th gen. I hope you post pictures. i hope you learn how to work on them (more than oil changes) and I hope you help future posters. I also hope you don't bite off more than you can chew
