I am looking to get a new car so I have been looking around recently. I found a 1997 Z28 Camaro near me. He wants $3500 for it. It has 150,000, is lowered, and has a Cold air intake. It is a 6 speed with a t-top. Do you guys think it is a good buy? Thanks

 

Also, is there anything I should be aware of on this year and model or Camros in general? Is there anything I should look for in the car when I go to see and drive it? Thanks

 

well... according to KBB in excellent condition this car is worth about 5500$ so as long as the car runs great and looks good its a good deal

i bought my car for 4500$ and its a 95 3.4L 5 speed with 115xxx miles (according to kbb its worth about 6500$)

 

I will go take a look tomorrow if I can. Anything I should look for specifically?

 

well as all cars the Z has its issues like the opti (the distributer) but i dont think you can check that out too well make sure you look under the car for rust as about 80% of the outside is fiberglass (the only steel is the hood and the rear fenders) also i always put a car thru a rigorous test drive taking corners hard flooring it braking hard that kind of stuff so if there is a problem you can feel it also if hes asking 3500$ (i assume your paying in full) walk up with cash not a check and offer him 2800$ and see what happens cash talks and its loud as hell

 

Well the thing is, he is already asking 4000. I asked him if he would take 3, he said 3500 is the lowest he would go

 

Ill check it out tomorrow and see whats up. Ill let you guys now if I find anything bad and if not, I can be a new Camaro owner =)

 

when i bought my car the guy was "firm" on 5300$ like i said cash talks

 

Tomorrow ill probably just test drive it. If I decide to buy it, ill start low and see if he takes it.

 

Check for t-top leaks by taking it through a car wash if possible.
