Opinions needed
 
So I'm almost at the end of my deployment and I've got some money to spend. Looking to get into an LS1 SS Camaro, has to be a 6 speed. I've been looking around but haven't found anything that looks too great. I'm looking to spend no more than 12K, and for 12 it better be pretty nice. I found this...http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/3007159222.html...not even sure if it'll be around when I get back (end of June). Just wanted some opinions on it or if you know of a better car on the east coast, let me know.

Meh, 10k for 117K SS with no *good* modifications isn't that attractive.


For that 12k, you can probably find something in a rare color and in great condition, or a nice "traditional" color with some quality pieces. Are there any criteria you're looking for? If I come across something that fits the bill, I can post it up here for you.

So its $9900 plus what "some" he still owes on it? Doesn't sound too promising to me.

I've always had good luck finding cars in Long Island as far as pricing. I got mine out there for 8750$ /w 61k miles 2-3 years ago. Basic bolts ons. But you should be able to get a lower mileage for 12k. Don't settle on the first thing either.

BigAls87Z28 05-18-2012 04:51 PM

12k gets you a lot of car.

NastyEllEssWon 05-18-2012 05:00 PM

not enough car for it being over 9000 :D

Save up and buy a C5 Vette, you're basically right there :D

shadowfire 05-18-2012 08:38 PM

I'll keep an eye out for you broseph. Let me know if you want me to look at anything up in NJ.

In my opinion, if you're going to spend that kind of money you might as well get a better looking car so, you should be looking for a Formula or a Trans Am!:-P

IMO, the hardest part about finding a clean F body (or any vehicle) is finding one someone didn't fugg all up.


Vette's are lame:facepalm:

Go Corvette.

you can find what you are looking for. it is just going to take some looking and looking at a bunch of different ones till you find the right one. It's just that this is the time of year for our cars to sell so the prices are a little swollen

CTS-V, lol

shadowfire 05-23-2012 04:34 PM

go for the ss

camarokev 05-24-2012 07:05 AM

You can find it, but it takes time. Finally found mine after doing daily searches on Craigslist in my area for a year... but I found the car- a 39,000 mile SS Camaro Convertible, NBM. I paid 12,450 cash (taxes included), plus I traded in my 2000 Z28, Pewter Metallic (101530 on the odometer though).

Oh... Get the SS... Corvette's are too "common". I see many more of them on the road out here in California than I do Camaros, hence the reason I chose to stay Camaro, when I could've gone C5 Vette. Just my .02

Look on LS1tech for good deals on LSX powered F-bodies!! Go C5 or Go SS either way its a win!!
