Default Problems with a Camaro I'm thinking about buying.

I'm looking at an 89 Camaro. It only has 87,000 miles, but it's already had the transmission rebuilt, a new rear end, new alternator, and new battery. Should these issues at such a low mileage raise a red flag, or am I being to cautious?

there is nothing wrong with being too cautious.alternators and batteries are common items that are replaced on all cars so dont worry about that, now if the trans mount went bad and it was never replaced it could affect the tranny and rear end being rebuilt.the rear ends are weak in 3rd gen camaros and you cant go wrong with a rebuilt tranny and rear end

Mechanical condition all depends if the previous owners beat the car to death. Any info on previous owners??
