2000 6 cylinder

Looking at the purchase of a 2000 v6 Camaro for my son.
it has 95000 miles, seems to be a strong car.
Any recommendations.

Take it to a shop and have them look at it.... can't go wrong that way....

its barely 5 years old and it's almost pushing 100K ...damn..thats a lot of miles..for being that young.

no specific known problems with the cars, just a general checkover of the car. Ask what kind of driving it was used for. and if they can verify that it recieved regular maintenience. 100,000 miles is nothing for these cars so long as they have been properly taken care of.

Can those 6's really handle that much ? I'd say a much better improvement from the 80's - early 90's v-6's that killed out before 100K. I've been thinking about getting a 4th gen with a 6 in it just for the hell of it but I don't want one that's going to kill out at a 100K. Plus , hows the fuel usage on those vrs the 8's? I know today everything is different and better or whatever but does the 8 still eat up like 4 times the gas as the 6?

well GM engines are just really pickey about being taken care of, they are kinda attention sluts. But if you do treat them right, ive seen many engines surpass the 200,000 mile mark. some go up to the 500,000 mile mark. with no rebuild. granted its rare, but thats because people rarely treat the engines as they should be.

I'm almost at 160,000 and still runnin strong. Have a shop you trust give it a good look over. How much are they asking?

wtf..160 K , holy crap dude..that's a lot of miles..I don't think I even put 10K a year on either vehicles added together. You must drive a lot.

bought it with 145 or 146,000 miles... 14k [a little less] in 1 yr 3 months.. not too bad

i average 10k a year, mostly goin to and from work (about 40 miles round trip)

i average 10k a year, mostly goin to and from butt to my mouth but I make some on the side from private partys too
Wow man way too much info.

hey kasey, what was it like having john all up in your rear end?

he couldnt get the job done so im going back



At least im good enough to get it done... lol

Kieft you can crack my anal walnut anyday...
Get a room.....

This stopped being funny from the first post...-_-

what can we say.. you worked your magic on yet another thread...

somebody close this thread -_-

wow, how about it's not your thread, why do you want it closed? please don't be rude to the other forum members. Thank you for your consideration.

somebody close that rice hole....

I wasn't being rude , thanks tho. As far as I know , I've never been rude to anyone on here. Everyone else is the one lashing out and slinging vulgarities around not me.

^ rebel...

Racism wasn't appreciated. I happen to be partial japanese and "close that rice hole" isn't such a nice thing to say to someone. Rather insulting.

I don’t believe in the concept of racism.... my comment was not racially bias.... you made it racial..... so now who’s the damn racist?!

Racism wasn't appreciated. I happen to be partial japanese and "close that rice hole" isn't such a nice thing to say to someone. Rather insulting.I think you know very well that wasn't meant as a racist comment, not mention the fact you found the need to point out your partially asian as to explain why it would be racist but knowing full well he didn't know that about you. Also I can point out maybe one million posts using the term ricer, how come this is the first post you found the need to attack as being racist. Also you have the ability to not pay attention or not view this thread or the direction it is heading and while you have made your opinion known its not up to you to police this forum and this forum is filled with mostly young guys and from time to time it gets little vulgar as any forum would. If you don't like it don't read it.

Still negotiating, I'm at 6500 he is at 7200. I figure we'll split the difference. :iceslolan

Thanks for all of your input. This has really been a helpful experience.

what options does it have?

what options does it have?

PW, Air, PS, T-TOP (doesn't leak, I took it to the car wash).

Not all options but not a "Plan Jane".

Took you guys advise and had my mechanic take a look.
No problems, good compression (don't know what it was but machanic said it was good for that many miles), need brakes.

I purchased this morning for 6800.00.

I think I will have one happy 16 yr. old this afternoon.

thanks again.

congrats on the purchase!

nice purchase, definatly a happy 16 year old... till he races his first V8, and then youll notice the monster you created :)
