Default What cha guys think?

Hey guys i]I've been shopping for a new car for a while, low miles, good mpg to get me through college and graduate school. I have my 94 camaro auto with the 3.4 but I feel if I put any money into it would be a complete waste. The 3.4 just hasn't been very exciting. I also learned to drive stick the other day and now auto just does not feel the same. I am finding my left foot feel for my imaginary clutch. Anyways I found this car at a dealer not far from me. It has the 3.8 liter, so I could have a little fun with it, be able to drive year round with some sand in the pack, and hell doesn't seem like a bad price. Figured I'd come on here and see what some of the camaro experts know Plus I figure I can talk em down since it doesn't have the awesome T-Tops. Would be one thing I missed from my current car.

2000 Chevrolet Camaro $6,980 - Hove Nissan - Bradley, IL 60915 Dealer

Thats a lot of money for a V6. Nothing wrong with a V6, I guess, but for that price I would want a Z, t-tops and a manual.

I would keep looking, but the price is right for my area to, good luck getting a descent v8 car for that price around here.

Too much even for my area where cars tend to be overpriced especially at dealers.
Personally if you are willing to spend that much I would say look for a V8 6spd. If you keep looking and have a little patience (I know easier said then done) you should find something very nice.

As everyone has said, save keep looking and get an LS1 (or LT1). Seriously. Don't count out a good LT1 car. You can ask Craby, myself, BudBrown... LT1 cars are FUN, and can be had for really cheap. I got my 95 Z/28 convertible 6 speed in almost perfect condition (120k miles, owned by some old guy) for $3500. In California...

So good luck and keep looking!
