option one... my dads camaro 1997 v6 but there is oil in the rad and the paint isnt that good he wants about 3500 for it forgot to mention 280000 km and 5 speed
option two... its a 1994 camaro z28 LT1 5.7 6 speed with longtube headers k&n filter SS 17 inch rims and new f1 tires also comes with stock rims the tranny and clutch were rebuilt... no the downside the kid selling it is 18 the paint on it is also not to well (2-5)years i would get a bodykit on it so id paint it then and its missing one fog light (25$ on amazon) it has 117000 miles yes it is in miles but it was saftied in sk in 2000 when it came up so around 186000 km he wants 5800$

idk my dad dislikes the 94 but i like it and think its not the bad of a deal what do you guys think?

#1 i personally think the LT1 is a bad *** motor.
#2 is this car for you? because if it is get the one you like not the one that makes your dad happy, you have to drive it not him.
#3 oil in the radiator of your dads car? sounds like he needs a rebuild thread.

Don't take it personally, but your dad is doing you no favors at all selling his car to you for $3500, with 280000km (almost 174k miles), and with engine problems too.
I can't speak for the value of the other car without seeing it, but does it look beat on to you?

the other one does not look beat on i went and seen it today and i liked it but my dad pays for it up front then i pay for it when we get home it has a really loud exhaust which i like the only thing is the front bumper could use paint and the hoods clearcoat is gone and thats the only thing i dont like about it... but i would be geting new hood and body kit so i dont think it would make any difference they wouldnt rust at all right there fiberglass? or am i wrong?

Don't rush into a decision -- ya might want to just keep looking and compare more options -- that's what I would do... check out ebay motors, auto trader, etc.

Most likely it is not oil in your dads coolant. It is most likely just left over from the original Dexcool. There is no real way for oil to get into the coolant (except a cracked block) but that would also put coolant in the oil (which would wipe out the motor pretty quicly). Both of those prices seem very high The 94 that needs paint work should be 4K and the High mile V6 is a $2500 on a good day if the paint is real nice.
