Is this a good price?

[Canuck5056]

I've been in negotiations (finally) over a 95 Camaro.

Here's it's details:

3.4 ( ) Automatic V6
50900 miles (86,000 kilometers)
Virtually perfect exterior and interior, save for a cracked windshield that needs to be replaced, but he say'd he do that for us
New tires (November installed)
K&N Air Filter, Flowmaster
No T-top ( )
Custom-built stereo (it's basically just a sub that was custom-fit to the hatch, but it sounds pretty sweet)

The car is in awesome shape, mechanically as well. We haven't checked it out yet, we were waiting to see if he's willing to sell it for my price range. He was originally asking for $8200 Canadian, and last week he said he wasn't willing to move off of that price by much. So we waited it out a bit, called back tonight, and he said he's willing to meet us between 7000 and 8000 Canadian. I'm hoping we can get it for about 7500, which is 6180 American. Does that sound like a good deal?

6200 for a 3.4L?... ouch..

[R.OConnor]

I was actually told to stay away from the 3.4s when Iw ent out looking... I have a 2001 3.8 and I paid 6000 and it has an aftermarkert stereo, not sub and no performance stuff but 3.8s sell better I suppose

[CamarosRsweet94]

The 3.4s aren't bad, but the 3.8s definately have more power. I would say for that car that is a little high. I bought my 94 with 49,000 miles two years ago for only $5,000 US. I would try to talk him down to that in canadian if you can.

[Savage Messiah]

Good deal? NO.

[KaotiKCamaro5]

yeah, i paid 3 grand 2 years ago for my 93 with 90k on it.

[Canuck5056]

I was afraid you guys were going to say that...problem is, there really isn't anything cheaper...

[lickem]

thats sounds high, i think it would be cheaper to import a car from the US, u could get a v8 for that price

[Xenostalgia]

Yeah keep looking. I paid 4500 for a 97 w/ 78k miles (v6 3.8)

[justinsz8]

yep, 96 3.8ltr for $2800........bad deal, those 3.4's are slow.

[Canuck5056]

I'm honestly starting to think that your car market is faaaaar different from here. I'm only see TWO V6 Camaro's (in ads/paper/internet, etc.) for less than 6900 bucks, Canadian, and both had very high mileague and weren't in great shape. EVERYTHING else is between like 7000 and 8500.

[cooltc2004]

Thats in Canadian, right? I bought my 1992 V6 Firebird for $2k

Mine did have 120,000 on it already when I bought it. That's nothing for mileage on these v6's though. you don't have to start worrying about mileage till you start getting around 180 to 200,000 miles. they'll go forever.

1994 CHEVROLET CAMARO Z28, 5.7L+ LT-1, fully loaded, custom premium sound, hi-performance American muscle!! Best car... Best deal... No stories!! only $7850


As you can see, the only cars that are less than the 7000 range are either high kilometers or not very good quality. It's because of this that I'm thinking Camaros are just priced/valued higher here.

not a good deal.
