I was looking at a new camaro. Does this look like a good offer?http://www.carsearch.com/768632.htm

 

You might get better response in the third gen section. I'll move it there for ya

 

I am going to have to say no on that one. When I bought my '89 Camaro it had 48,000 miles on it, T5, 305, and was in perfect condition inside and out. I paid $4,800 for it and looking back I should have offered less.

With 160K on the clock I would say it is worth about $2K to $2500 tops.

 

The article says the motor has been rebuilt. I wonder if that is the mileage on the rebuild or on the car itself?

 

Tough call. If it were a 350ci or if the interior was perfect also. However, $3500 for any running car is all that bad, especially for one that has a rebuilt engine and new trans.

 

Thats too much. I wouldn't go over $2K for it.

 

honestly, i wouldnt pay more than 1500 for that car, and i would definitly run a carfax first. theres always 3rd gens for sale, you can probably get a TBI for a lot cheaper, and i think its better than Tuned Port anyways.

 

I bought my 84' Z28 H.O. 2 years ago for $1300. Paint was a little faded but everything else was o.k.

 

LOL, no TBI is deffenintly NOT better than tpi. It takes GOBS more work and money to get anywhere NEAR stock power levels of a TPI. It can be done, just ask Gunny Highway, he has a kickass car. But for the most part, TBI is the WORST basis to start an engine buildup.

 

The ONLY way i see that happening is if you consider $/HP, only because people practically are throwing away those old TBI cars......not to get off topic.....
