Two cars: Opinions:

97 Trans Am. Transmission unknown, Blue, Leather, 114,000 miles, unknown where the miles are from, unknown driver age, $7500/obo

95 Z28.

I have a 95 Z28 I am selling. Car has:
-105k, ive had it since it had 66k on it, ive driven all highway miles, 360 miles every weekend highway, and 26 every day to school n back.
-Black w charcoal leather 6 speed trans, just changed gear oil in trans.
-Original Clutch changed at 90k :-) before me car was owned by a woman, never raced or beaten (No burnouts...). REV LIMITER HAS NEVER BEEN TOUCHED.
-Oil changes every 3k.
-Car has been extremely well kept.
-Aftermarket panasonic cd player.-
-Ttops, new window motors
-Cruise control

I know these engines last forever, and wed be rebuilding it anyway, but what are some disadvantages of these cars?

Didnt look at the pic, but in my opinion the price is a little high. I think a cheaper car with less miles is out there, you just have to do a little searching.

I think both the cars are priced a bit high for that many miles...At least they are compared to other cars in my area.

I paid 6,700 for a 94 Z w/ lots of mods and 59,000 miles. I think that both of those are high. The second one SOUNDS like a better deal; however, sometimes people do this little deceitful thing called lying (owned by a women, never burnt out...ect.). It could all be true, but how do you know that.? But if i had to pick betwn the 2...i vote for the Z.

here's a comparison..... I got my 95 z28 for $6,500.... it had 80,000 miles on it, automatic, and it has the chrome factory rims.... the guy I bought it from had a little notbook with a list of when he changed fluids, and got the car repaired.... the engine oil has been changed before 3000 miles every time, and he had done everything else to keep the car in tip top shape.... I would think with those mods your engine may be a little ragged out? I think you should come down on the price.

Mobile 1 since off the lot

I dunno if you got a good deal cuz i got almost ever mod that i have on my car now....59,000 miles...mobile 1...they works for 6,700. Some people look at it as the more mods, the more abuse. SO i guess it is all opinion on who got the best deal.
