2001 Camaro "RS"
I finally found a Camaro that i like after meeting with countless owners who crashed or messed it up while modding it. It seemed like it ran just fine, but I test drove it on a rainy day so when I go back to pick it up I'm going to check for oil leaks, contour lines, exhaust smoke, etc. I'm not too car savvy so I come to you with a question. Should I take this car to a mechanic to check everything before I buy it? I'm low on money but I can get a hundred more or two to make sure this baby is fresh. If not, what else should I check?

Are you meaning that this one has been crashed and messed up from modding? Or are you speaking of others you have checked out? Having a mechanic you trust check it out, or somebody you know that knows cars do it, would certainly be a good idea.

The other one I drove felt really wobbly and I found out it was in an accident involving the rear end. This one has a clean record but you never know. I didn't get to drive it at higher speeds due to the weather. I'm going to ask a knowledgeable friend to come with me.
