Buying A New Car
With the untimely passing of my 92 RS, I am finally up to buying another car. I am looking at a 94 Z28 and a 95 Z28. When looking at these, are there any common problems that I should look for along with the normal ones?

I suggest looking one with a really good body condition, inside and out. One with no mods. One with records and pref. a one-owner.
Never mind the mileage. And of course, make sure it doesn't sound or drive like there is something major wrong.
Most new car dealers won't sell high mileage cars even if they look great. Most gypos with sell you anything and probably screw you, especially if the car looks good.
So if you can find a one-owner, from a private seller, even if it is high mileage, go for it.
The engine can always be rejuved and you probably will be modding it anyway.
The body, on the other hand, can cost you mucho denaro and it still won't do any faster.JMHO
