    Take it for a test ride to a mechanic to get it inspected. Make sure there's no dex-cool damage, no leaks (my old '95 leaked oil after a while), check to see if the doors shut properly (the doors are really heavy and put stress on the hinges after a while), and check the window motors. Make absolute sure that the engine is sound, because 3.4L parts get harder and harder to find everyday.

        It looks like its in really good shape, though i would offer 2k-2500 for it because, whether its a camaro or not, it still is a 14 year old car.

        If you have a car to hold you over for now, i would keep looking for the 3.8 v6, cause those 3.4's fall on there face bad. Though the 3.8 is slow to, its got a little more pep to it. leaving more room for fun, and less for fustration with owning a camaro, and it being UBER slow..

        Also that car only seems to blue book for 3500 in excellant condition (private party) For the zip code of 04016 (Mainer zip). Most know that bluebook is an over value. So 2000 should be a fair final selling price. If your looking for a deal.

            Our Camaros arnt uber slow, 3.4s and 3.8s arnt muscle cars, their sports cars. They may not be a Z28, but they still hold their own on the track.

            Now, if this is your first car, do take into consideration that you need not buy yourself into a money hole. Labor for the sixers can be very pricey, because the engine is 'hiding' from the rest of the world. Invest the $20 - $50 to make sure at a local repair shop you TRUST.

              I stand corrected.

              Sporty it is, But how long does 160fwhp really stay fun for? Read around a little OP, you'll find the same threads starting over an over everyweek...

              Why does my 3.4 v6 fall flat on its face after 4500rpms?
              How fast is my 0-60? 8-9 seconds
              How fast are these in the quarter? Slow 16.5+ seconds
              Why do i get bad gas mileage? Cause these engines arn't designed well.. (I can agree they are VERY well balanced though.)

                I'd keep looking for a 3.8l (95-02). Just be patient and odds are you can get one.

                  2nd that, the 3.8 is more reliable, has 200 HP. I'd wait

                  These cars are slow??? I was very skeptical of a V6 camaro for this very reason, until I drove one. It ain't LS1 fast but I was very suprised. Also this car has more stock HP than many previous years Camaro V8's (70's and 80"s)

                    Also, if you have about 3500 to spend, you MAY be able to find a Z28... and avoid the V6 frustration all together :P

                        Holy crap! Down here you can get a high mileage LT1 for less than those prices, rebuild it and come out spending about that much^

                            ^I agree with that comment you might be able to get a V8 for that price. I almost did, but the V6 I have now is so beautiful.

                              I wouldnt pay $3,500 for a 94 with over 100k miles.
