Im in the exact same boat!! I have owned a 89Z, 93Z, and I thought my next would be the 2010. I fell in love several years ago when I saw the concept in person. I am coming off my second tour from Iraq and have been doing nothing but saving money so that wasnt the issue. I am getting ready to go back to college and did not want to have a high car payment. So I decided to go with something that would make me just as happy that I could just buy. A 2002 SS. I found one for a great price with under 16k miles and is exactly what I want. I also felt that it would give the next couple of years of camaros to come out with the lil upgrades they add each year. Im just as exited to get the 2002 as I would be a 2010 prob cause I have never owned an LS1 but have several buddies who have owned more than I can count, so I happened to learn alot about them.
I would say for your search its fairly simple. I would try to find one as close to stock as possible for the price your willing to spend. I would say for that price its going to have over a 100k miles, but if you find one that is stock and has been well maintained as well as good interior and exterior looks you will find a great buy. GOODLUCK!!!
