Been looking for a fourth gen for some time now, and think I may have found a good one, but want to be smart. It's a black Z28 for sale at a local dealer with 100k on the odo. Carfax is clean seems to be one owner), clutch feels good, engine runs smooth, no apparent mods. Tires are almost bald though, and it is a Michigan car, which has me worried about rust.

What issues should I look for when I go for a test drive? Are there any particularly rust-prone areas? Any ideas on what wouldnbe a fair price? They're asking $6000, which seems about $2000 high to me.

Damn I must have been lucky i got my 1994 camaro z28 last week, T-Tops 59,999 on the ODO, Clean Carfax and stick for $2800.00 !!! BTW I live in the Bay Area...

Anyways check if it dosen't overheat,leak on waterpump, etc..

Their asking too much!!!! A fair price will be 3,000 tru 3,900 bucks
Or cheaper considering the miles it has!!!
If i where you ill keep on looking, Craigslist is you friend!!!!

The reason why they are asking that much is because you are buying it from a dealer. I purchased my 95Z, M6 with 86k from the original owner for 4800. The car was owned by a Dr. in Tuscon, you know he maintained it well and I have invoices of work he did through the years on it. If you can pay cash, you can find alot better deal online, cars.com, craigslist, autotrader.

Eah, figured that the stealership was asking a bit much. I think I might offer them 4k in cash, see what happens.

I got a 94 z28 almost a year ago and the only thing that has really given me truoble is the A/C and the fuel pump. And since the fuel pump was in the gas tank it cost a bunch to replace. But other than that id deffinitely get it if I were you, Got mine for $4500 w/ 80,000 miles, so 4k for the one your talking about should be good. jus my 2 cents.

Well, forget that one. The powertain was indeed strong, but the chassis was sloppy as all hell -- lots of wandering, lots of flex. That didn't bother me terribly, as I plan on replacing/upgrading the suspension in whatever I buy. Alas, a check under the car revealed there was more at fault than a few worn bushings. RUST. It was especially bad under the passenger seat -- when I stuck my finger in it, it started flaking to the ground.
