ok i just bought a 1999 camaro ss with 197k , ls1 350 with a ls6 intake bbk thottle body not installed , hid lights in head lights and fog lights , center exhaust and also has ground effects . the thing is the car has a roc knock and the steering wheel is broken off around the top , how much would you pay for the car it has a clean title and the body is a 8 out of 10 just needs some paint work on the front and rear bumper ..

 

so it needs a motor and steering wheel?

I wouldn't pay a dime over 2000 for that car, you can buy running driving ls1 cars for 4-4500 all day. You can find replacement motors for 500-700 bucks and if you can do the work yourself, it might not be too bad. But with that high of miles and a blown motor, 2k not a cent more

 

thats what i was thinking , so should i try and fix it or just sell it and get something else

 

how capable are you when it comes to working on cars? How much did you pay for it? Realistically, you could buy a running 4.8/5.3 for a couple hundred bucks and slap it in there, sell it for 3500 but thats up to you

 

I dont have the know how or tools to take out the motor and put a new on in , I paid $1500 for the car and have someone saying they would give me $2500 for the car , but its a nice car if i just fix it up but i dont want to spend to much money on it . If i sell it id be making money so maybe ill go that route other then fixing it , I also could part it out but i dont feel like parting it out for 6 months or longer when winters around the coner

 

$1500 is a great deal, $2500 is a good deal. Sell it to someone that will fix it.

 

yea i'd sell that piece, get the profit, and buy you a beauty

 

No offense on the 'piece' part lol

 

I agree with everyone else I would sell that car in a heart beat to some dude for $2500 with a blown motor basically and who knows what else is wrong with the car I say sell it and get another car thats running properly you'll have alot less headaches

 

Rebuild or part it out. The car is worth a great deal in parts, especially with those wheels and exhaust. Looks good, I'd keep it.
