is this a good deal?

well I have always wanted a camaro and now it is about time for me to buy one, I have decided on a 4th gen lt1. I was at criswell last week looking at an SSR when I see this camaro:

my brother, who drives a 2000 z28, says it is way too much for a '93 and it is about $500 over Blue Book, my friends say it is a buy but i'm not going to take advice from a focus owner who thinks a burnout involves the e-brake and someone who has a golf without a Transmission, so what do you all think?

yeah thats too much

That is a little high for this area, but not outrageous. If you could get them to kick in any kind of warranty, I'd say go for it.

i agree thats too much....back last summer i tried to get a loan for 6k for a 94 z28 that had dyno sheets with 470 hp...it was freaking awesome but that bank didnt want to give a loan for that much because the blue book was a lot lower than that...with the bank not wanting to make money it definately wasnt worth that to them so i think paying 5900 for a 93 is way to much too.....you can find one a lot cheaper than that or atleast newer for the same price.

Yeah.. a little too much, if you can get them down to 4500 or so.. then it's a buy.

well i have two days off, I will see if they will lower the price a bit, otherwise I will look for something cheaper

The mods lower the value of the car.

really? i did not know that....the car had a ton of miles on the body too....like 160k....looking back on it tho 6k is a little much for a 94 and im glad i didnt buy it.

Thats why you dont sell it then!

I'd definately have to agree with everyone else on the price being too high. But I'd also like to suggest that you try to find a 95 or higher camaro. The 93-94's had a non-vented optispark which allowed moisture to collect inside it and thus, make it more prone to going out. So if you could find yourself a 95 or above, those came with vented optisparks, which would save you alot of headaches. Especially with it being your first camaro.

zashim · #12 10-12-2005, 04:08 PM

thanks for the advice i'll try to find a 96 for under $5000, most lt1 camaros seem to be over priced, I found a good one but it was $6500

I thought about geting a v6 but I know someone with a 3.4 and its just not enough power

Xenostalgia · #13 10-12-2005, 04:11 PM

3.8's pack a punch, enough to lite up some tires and eat up rice.

zashim · #14 10-12-2005, 04:35 PM

well I remember this time my brother raced a v6 camaro at a red light he only pressed the pedal half way and it took the v6 20 seconds to catch up at the next red light

also I have not got a chance to drive a lt1 but I have driven a 96 v6 and an ls1 how might I expect an lt1 to drive compared to them?

Rally Sport · #15 10-12-2005, 04:54 PM

An Lt1 is just a littler slower than an Ls1. Give the LT1 some mods and you'll be taking them on too.
