is the camaro worth it? besides the exhaust leak it has a dented up fender. but it comes with a new one, new hood, new front bumper, and 4th generation center console. he said he would take 1300 and id get it all including the set of rims and possibly another set. im only 17 but i love these cars. it has 151,000 miles. i have the money for it with about 500 dollars more to spend. can i make it a beauty with that money or atleast decent? thanks

Answer 1

The car has probably been drive hard.  Before you make him an offer, get a quote on how much your insurance will cost.  In general, insurance is cheapest on  four door cars and pickup trucks.  I'd look for a cool truck if you can see yourself in one.  Having said all that, if you still want it, offer $1200 and see where it goes.

Answer 2

Can you take it to a mechanic so they can tell you if or what needs work? What he's asking for sounds fair, but as far as you having $500 left over. Save it for work that will need to be done.....ie.....brakes.....tune-up.....o... anything with the engine. I know your young and you want your car to look hot, but it won't be that great if you can't go anywhere in it.

Oh yeah, if you can't get a mechanic to check it out, then at least have someone come with you that knows something about cars come with you and give you an honest opinion. If you do choose this car, drive safely and congratulations.
