It's been a long time since I owned a Camaro, but I ran across a 1995 yesterday with the 3.4L V6 engine and automatic transmission. The car starts hard when it's cold, but once the engine is warm, the car starts right up with no problem. The oil is clean and there is no smoke coming from the exhaust. The car has t-tops and an automatic tranny and is otherwise loaded. Body-wise the driver's rear 1/4 has a rust hole above the rear wheel, but otherwise the body is pretty sound. The passenger side t-top seal leaks pretty heavily though which undoubtedly will lead to floorboard rust if not taken care of promptly. The clearcoat is also starting to peel on the rear 1/4's as well.
I know the car isn't a Z-28, but the teal green paint and tan interior do make for a striking combination. The car also has a cracked windshield and the driving lights do not work and the a/c also does not blow cold. otherwise everything in the car works great.
My proverbial question is, "How much is this car worth in it's current condition?" He's asking $1200 for it the way it sits. Any ideas on it's worth is appreciated.

 

i got a 96 v6 with a cracked windshield and bad maf for 800 and straight body so i wouldnt pay 1200 idk? mine did have 203000 miles

 

I have a green 95 camaro as well with the clear coat peeling on the drivers quarter panel, one guy I talked to said there was a problem with chevys 95 clear coat, but from the research ive done there was no recalls.
One very important thing you forgot to mention is the mileage, its hard to give a good estimate without that.

 

The mileage is 120k. By today's standards it's low for the age of the car I guess.

 

value is in the eye of the beholder

if you are capable, and willing to perform all the repairs yourself, then you need to factor that in because you like the color. At some point the clear coat issue will bug you and you'll be plunking down $1k for a repaint.

If you can't do the repairs yourself, fix the starting issue etc, then factor in labor at $80 per hour plus parts. You might be looking at a $100, or a $800 fix, it's tough to tell. also, does it need brakes and any other maint? Tires? alignment? You said it leaks in the t top

It comes down to the total cost. Figure out what the total cost would be and then look around for cars in that price range.

Too many young uns buy a low cost car and ultimately end up sinking way more money into it than had they just bought a car for a few $k more from the get go.

 

If it was me, I might take torgue's advice and just look for a car in better condition. I don't think I could give the guy anything over $600 for all the problems you just listed.
