Default good buy for a first car?

I bought (with the help of my parents) a 1994 camaro with 115k miles for only $2000. i thought it was a good deal bc the car looked cool and the miles seemed low enough for me, nothing was wrong with it except a couple interior things but you dont even notice them

was this a good deal or not? i kno its too late now but i was just wandering, i love my car though lol

I'm guessing it's a 3.4 liter? If you ever have a question about whether something is a good deal, look it up on www.kbb.com .

Fair [/align]
$2,700

If the only problems are interior cosmetic, and no major mechanical problems, then yes you got an excellent deal.

always look up the blue book value of the car, i got a 94 camaro z28 with an lt1 engine, the car its self only has 67k but it was my dads, but i have to rebuild the engine, and get a new ECU computer put in. but yea

my Dad talked the guy from the dealer ship from 8 to 4 but that was like 7-8 years ago so yea we had dis car for awhile

what ingine you got in it the v6, v8 LT1 o LT4?
if you got the LT4 you got the best engine for the 94 model then it would deffenitly been worth the deal

as for me when i save enought money im taking out the rebuilt LT1 and put the New LS6 for the new corvettes and put it in same size as the LT4 just more Hp stock 675 HP so you might want to look into it, but its 15 to 20 gs for da engine i want? i might get a discountcause of where i work and the school i go to but im not sure, its costing me 2gs to rebuild the LT1

As you can read that year doesn't have an LT4. Nice try though.






LT4
The LT4 was a special high-performance version of the new-generation LT1. With the addition of a slightly more aggressive camshaft profile, new higher-lift rocker arms and better-flowing intake manifold and cylinder heads, it was specified to produce 330 hp (243 kW) and 340 ft.lbf. (459 Nm) of torque (although these numbers were likely underrated in order to "protect" the upcoming LS1's power rating). It was introduced in the 1996 model year, for the last year of the C4 Corvette, and came standard on all manual transmission (ZF 6-speed equipped) C4 Corvettes. The engine was passed down to special versions of the Camaro and Firebird the next model year.
The LT4 was available on the following vehicles:
[ul][*]1996 Chevrolet Corvette when equipped with 6-speed manual transmission (includes all Grand Sports) (Production: 6,359)[*]1997 Chevrolet Camaro SLP/LT4 SS 6-speed (Production: 100 for the U.S. and 6 for Canada)[*]1997 Pontiac Firebird SLP/LT4 Firehawk 6-speed (Production: 29) [/ul]
All 135 production engines for the Firehawks and Camaro SS were completely disassembled, balanced, blueprinted and honed with stress plates. One in 5 engines was tested on a Superflow engine dyno and every car was tested on a chassis dyno in addition to performing a short 6 mile road test.
