honestly i was in same situation with about the same amount of money as you and i wish i would have bought a new 2002 camaro,the v6 cuz the way gas is right now have fun. plus you can always swap the v6 to a v8 later n get cheaper insurance plus for the money u will get a nicer v6 than a v8

 

Not always true on price. Around here I have seen V6's that were more than V8's and swapping to a V8 is a *****.
