I've got an opportunity to pick up a lightly modded 2000 Camaro Z28 with 85k mi for $10,000.

The car is actually for sale by a friend of mine, it's got:

SLP Lid
Pacesetter Longtube Headers
Pacesetter Off-road Y-Pipe
Flowmaster Cat-Back
Dyno Tune - 333rwhp on a DynoJet

Other than that, it's bone stock and it runs well. I've driven the car many times and I enjoy it as a fair-weather cruiser that sounds amazing and has great potential.

I'm curious how other LS1 owners feel about their cars and if this is a good deal or not. He paid $11 for the car last summer and has put about $2k in parts/labor into it.

I am done modding the Evo, so you can forget about droppign $10k in that
Also, I don't plan on going crazy on the LS1 if I get it... I'm thinking just some 17x11 wheels, some 315 drag radials, an intake, cam, and 4.10's

 

Not bad...


With mods done, as long as it's a clean car...I don't see that as being anything but a fair price.

 

hmm...I have no idea what those things go for but 10k for a domestic with 85k miles sounds kind of high, no?

If this is going to be your daily driver, I'd get something that was more fuel efficient, especially with the gas prices these days

 

its a ls1 camaro z28, thats a steal imo. its hard to find a stocker for that price.

 

it's a 2000 ? for 10K. I would have just put that money in a bucket and burn it then spend it on a car like that. Sorry man I don't want to be an a** but come on 10k for a 8 year old car?

 

^ lol its called value. why are 69 camaros so much? what about supras? the evos are new cars, they arent worth anything over their origional sitcker. they jus hold their value like ****

 

It's not a daily driver... just a small muscle car project, nothing crazy or expensive.

I figure the car is worth $8k private sale... but I could either find a stock one for $8 and spend $2000 on mods, or just buy this as-is for $10.

I know it's not a "steal" but I was just curious how others felt about the car & platform

 

Gobs and Gobs of torque is a beautiful thing...

10K for a car with 85k miles is awefully high.....

but if you decide to get it, look at ATI prochargers....

even bigger gobs and gobs of torque...

 

I'd say go for it...
You will be happy with it dude....
MS4 w/ 315's in the rear?

PS. The car he will be purchasing is actually mine ...

 

Imo I would pay a little more for one that has less mileage. I glanced at ebay and found some nice buys there. Not saying that this wouldn't be a deal for you though..

 

whatever floats your boat. my "domestic" project would be a 1990 IROC Z Sleeper camaro, black on black with the T-tops!!!!

 

pics?

 

not my cup-o-coffee but it sounds like a fun project. keep us posted

 

Do you have a mullet or are they throwing one in with the deal. If your answer is Yes to either you can't go wrong.

 

If its the Top Gear casting crew ... Jeremy Clarkson would say " Its a pile of Rubbish "
LoL .. Good luck on the purchase ... I would spend 10k and ask someone to make me a WRC widebody ... I really haven't seen anyone run that kit on the street in the US ... at lease to my knowledge ...
