haha my mind may be scattered all over today with 60 vs 90 degree calling out fwd motors and calling tempests...gto's....BAH
but if theres one thing i do know its car buying/selling/flipping/appraising/haggling.
anything over 2300 for that car and your getting ripped. christ its not even a z28...its a freaking RS for that matter. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
walk away and fast.
i understand you might not want a 4th gen but those are the cars in the 4-5k asking range. any third gen over 3k better have less than 80k miles or must have something desirable about it.

it's a buyer's market right now. hang on to your money and keep looking for a '98-02 car. the payoff will be a much better platform for modifications not to mention more power to start with. if you can help it, stay away from RS cars (especially third gens). get with a Z28 or an SS ('98-02) and you'll get much more for your dollar.

Thanks for the input. I will wait out. I figured even a V6 98-04 will have better horsepower. (thanks for pointing that out Jim) I know i can get one of those for that price. I'll keep my eye out. Hopefully i can get something soon to get to some of these meets you guys have.
Thanks again

please dont waste your money on a v6. the 98-02 are going for the same prices as the ls1's because people dont want to lower their prices. if your gonna spend a few grand get EXACTLY what you want. trust me. or youll end up selling it a few months later like i did with my z28

When i have my monte carlo, the 3rd gen was always like the "better in every way" version of my car. Better handling, brakes, seats, interior, had t tops, and looked cool. So thats where my desire for one came in. Now i realize years later the monte was actually a much nicer car build quality wise, it just didnt perform as well. For a performance car they are still hard to beat, since they will take any small block and they are somewhat light(the 3rd gen)
