    Re: Thinking about losing the camaro

    I have an '04 Cavalier; Based on how many visits to the dealer I've had, I will NEVER, NEVER buy another.

      Re: Thinking about losing the camaro

      Well, realized that in the OP I put >6K for my budget, but luckly it seems that my error was overlooked. Yeah, I have LESS than 6K. Silly me :p

      Well, figuring I'm lucky if I get much more than 20mpg on my current Camaro, I guess "more fuel efficient" would cover a lot of cars... I guess I'd like to get 22-25 city, and around 30 on the highway.

      BMWs are nice, but doubt I'd be able to afford a decent one along with repairs.

      If I wern't in college, I would probably go for a newer car and do payments. While I'm working a lot this summer, when I go back to school I probably won't be able to afford it.

      Thanks for the offer Kala, but NJ is a ways away from WA.

        Get a 3.8 F-body with 3.42 gears and full bolt-ons

          Welp, that Cavy was no good. Lotta trouble getting it into first. Seemed you had to put it into second, then to first, or else it'd just go into third. Oil was leaking, and after driving around the block you could smell burnt oil. Also someone put a wavy pinstripe with a key down the whole right side.

          Well, gotta look at more stuff for now. I wish I had enough to get a 3.8 F-body with bolt ons, but don't think 6K will get me that.

            I paid 7K for my '99 with 37K miles on it...so I'd imagine a 96 with about 80K should leave you with more than enough to buy bolt-on's after the purchase.

              I'm sure you can get a camaro with a 3.8 for under 6k with decent miles.

                Well, haven't found any good ones. There's a 96 with 135K on it for $6K, and a white () 99 with unlisted miles for $5K. That's all I can see atm.

                Might go check around a few dealerships around my area when I have time. Maybe look into something I can mostly buy, and just finance like $2-4K.

                Or I can just keep my current Camaro. :)

                  Umm, you are only few hours away. My car currently getting 400 ish miles to the tank. For 6K not only you'll get the indash LCD + fully wired xm but i'll change the o2 sensors + plugs which will boost the MPG even more. I don't think you can buy a car more immaculate than mine.

                    Stay away from dealerships...Look in the classified section of newspapers

                      That looks like an awesome car Kala. But only a few hours away? Is that by plane you mean? Here's what Google maps says:
                      http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=e...,81.386719&z=4
                      Unless what you have listed as your location is not where your car actually is.

                      Or did you think I lived in Washington DC?

                      Anyhow, if you were a few hours away, I would very seriously consider getting that car, as it looks like a very sweet deal for 6K.

                          :poke: me because that's what i thought. Well, thanks for the compliment. I religiously take care of my cars. How about Dodge Neon? I know they are prone to engine failure but if you change your oil every 3k miles and check oil level, you should be fine. A board member here used to have one and it ran 15.4 constantly. It's a nice peppy little car.

                            I do have my eye on those.
