Ideas for a Car? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey everybody

Right now I'm a freshman at southern illinois university studying auto tech. The auto tech program is off campus and is a pain to take the bus to everyday. I'm looking for a car to buy this summer (I know its early) for next year. I ofcourse am looking for a f-body. Probably a V6 manual for insurance, gas, and so I have enough money for the 5th gen when I graduate. I think I want to stay under 100K miles and want a 3800 V6. I have one now in my (parents) car and it's a great engine.

So if anybody has any ideas for any other cars or knows of anyone selling, it would be a real help if you could let me know.
Thanks!

wow. 12k OBO isn't bad for that Z28. From your post it looks like you are looking for a cheap F-bod primarily huh?

What's your budgeted price range?

Yes, primarily F-Body. I want a cost effecient car but still have fun. So I thought a V6 manual f-bod sounds like a good idea.
I would like the car to be under 5 or 6 thousand $.

Thanks camarospike. Those are some great offers but some of them are either too much or too many modifications. Ide like to find a car mostly stock. I dont mind and intake or exhaust system but you know what i mean.

have you looked on autotrader?

Yes. Autotrader and Cars.com are my main sources. That is why im asking you guys. I'm sure there are a lot of great deals out there that im missing because they're not on there.

SS4EVER · 09-29-2008, 10:33 AM

Ok. Yeah, Well hey it can't help asking on here seeing that you are in fact on a camaro forum.

Are you on ls1tech.net?

bouncertime · 09-29-2008, 12:19 PM

Craigslist is a pretty good site to look for cars also.

I looked at a 95 Camaro Vert 3800V6 automatic for $6200 a few weeks ago. They are out there if you keep your eyes open.

another great car is something like a GTP they get good gas Milage, & are great sporty cars. Believe me I have seen some fast GTPs. The Supercharged 3800 V6 is great to mess with.

But Craigslist, autotrader, & Cars.com are all great sites to head when looking for a car.
