1998 Z28 potential buy...what do you guys think?

What's goin' on fellas(and ladies, too, I presume.) I've been a normal at ThirdGen.org(had an 87 SC 305) and Pontiacs.org(still have a 1979 Trans Am 10th Anniversary, trying to sell.) I've known about this forum for a while but never felt the urge till now.

My friend has a 1998 Z28 6spd. that I might have the chance to purchase later this winter/early spring and I was wondering what you guys thought/suggestions/price/etc. Here's what he's told me about the car and I'll follow it up with a page with pictures.


- trans fluid change on T56 so its good for another 15-20k
- new battery, power window motor over the summer
- NGK plugs and taylor 10mm wires and front brakes not put in yet
- i did fuel filter too recently
- i put in a B&M ripper shifter
- exhaust is all new, with offroad y pipe
- skip shift is gone
- got ram air kit with a new filter (green filter, like K&N)
- panhard rod(aftermarket)
- subframe connectors
- interior and body are mint
- everything works, lights, signals
- working AC
- Monsoon sound system(CD player, 6 speakers)
- power driver's seat
- new dealer replaced windshield
- oil pump is mok or now, but its kinda weak, it makes 40 psi when driving though
- 3.42 stock rear end
- 10k miles on BFG-kdws tires

- 92k someodd miles on car
- garage kept, he's in college, stays at home with his 66 Charger hahaha

Here's his CarDomain site for it.

He's asking $9500 for it. Comments? Thanks in advance.

I guess it's hard to find people to reply to these threads some times. I would say it is worth more like 8k. I have a 97 similar miles / condition. Here is a web quote , I couldn't tell if it had t-tops or not.

He also says the car has welded in BMR SFC's.

I don't know man, just buy his age abd all, I don't see why it would need a full windshild since you can repair cracks. I would check into it a little bit more and see if it's been wrecked hard or anything. Just trying to help.

The dealer broke the windshield before they sold it to him hahaha...I've known him for about 3 years now, he's only owned the car for a year, and he's told me every little thing that's happened along the way.

No more bolt-ons for the time being. I'm a college kid, I won't even be driving the car a lot($2.16 for 93 octane these days, WTF?) right now and I need to save some money as I EMPTIED my bank account(I am gonna owe my mom $250 before I even get to put money in my own damn account haha). In time, though...in time

I'm psyched...Sunday needs to get here.

Ya 7500 isn't a bad price. Seen ones with lower miles go for around the same. As long as your happy, its good that you know who sold it to you though.
