Question I think I got a deal

I shot for $8,500 and the lady told me she was going to call me back. I think she needs the money. This also includes warranty till 90k miles. Right now it has 74k miles. If she goes for it. I am going to do one more test drive. This might sound stupid but what is a "OPTI"?

These cars dont have a distributor, so the opti acts more or less like a distributor.

i bought my 95 with a K&N and a junkmaster exhaust very clean for 6500 with 70K miles. i would say keep looking or go lower than 8500. go to 8000. you can always come up if you have to.

WTF are you talking about?...an opti is a distributor, its just not a rear mount, its run off the cam, and is an optical spark distributor

i purchased my z28 for 5,400 at an auction with 97k miles on it. no problems.....yet. the brakes and suspension are on their way out, however. im getting hooker headers and catback, so if i get the 1 and 3/4 longtubes will i need to buy a new y-pipe? or will the collector fit it?

I was referring to the fact it is not like a conventional rear mounted distributor on the earlier camaros.

If I had to buy one, this would be it. I've been watching it for a while now, and it looks sweet. I wouldn't be afraid to buy it sight unseen and have it shipped to my door. (that is how i bought my current car and I am very happy with it!)

Before you buy the 97 you are looking at I would jump on this one in a heartbeat for only $7000 A fully forged Blown T-Trim 94Z 355. This guy has 7k in the motor alone

It's over in the car parts for sale board on this site

I think he want's something fairly reliable, not someone else's problems.
