you will want the 3.8, depending on the body style you like i would say 96-97 or 99-02.

THANKS, just looked at a '96 for 4200 w/ 88k miles. but i have no idea what questions to ask. i know the generic questions, but not the specific ones related to these types of cars.

Where are you located? The price seems a little high unless that includes some type of warranty. T-Tops? Automatic or stick? Like craby said A trusted mechanic can tell if the car was maintained or if it was just cleaned up by the lot.

I got my first Camaro when I was 15, 1980 was a long time ago.
