Ok so you should know im new to this message board thing. But i have a question, i found a 97 z28 30th anniversary edition 6spd white with orange stripes w/ white interrior. the car has 125kmi on it but runs very strong and no sounds at all. drives extremely smooth. im getting it for $6000. Is this a good deal?

I bought mine for 6K last year, with 107 K miles but no white interior.

Thanks guys

I didnt think is was that bad. the only bad thing is the drivers seat is torn pretty badly. but the ups is that it has a flowmaster exhaust, and a functional SS hood. Do you know of any where i could find nice Z28 seat covers to cover up the tear until i come up with the money to bring it to an upholstry shop?

And also what is the gas milage like with these cars? Im going to be running 87 in it because im low on money at the moment.

hate to break it to you bro but it needs 91 or higher, it more than likely will run a lil rough at idle once at operating temperatures. gas mileage isnt too bad as long as everything is up to par like all tune-up related things and a well cleaned fuel system

That's a pretty fair deal. You should not run anything below 91 in it with that 10.4:1 compression ratio. What's it worth to save a few cents anyway? If the car is tuned up well there is no reason you can't get 20+ miles per gallon. My TA did 20+ with a mix of town, highway, and getting on it a decent amount. This was when it was fairly stock. Mine's auto.

Its a fair deal, about what they go for in the market for the mileage and year.
