hey guys i'm 16 and a huge car guy...i work for my dad as a mechanic and after driving a 98 WS6 we were working on i'm obssesed. i have a 65 GTO going together but thats at least a year away...so i was wondering...i would love to buy a 93 or newer F body as my daily driver....what can i excpect for 7k or less...any advice would be great. thanks

You can buy my 95 Z28 for under 7 k

yeah theres 93-97 lt1 fbodys all over the place for under 7k.....some with no winters/fairly low miles......not going to find many ls1s in that range that arnt beat to hell with lots of miles though

take my advice and save another 4 k up and just get a 98 + SS

[Duffy21690]

yea i'd much rather have a 98-up...any advice on the better models or certain things to look for or stray away from?

all 98-02 are pretty much the same and equally good. Any model Z28, SS, T/A, formula, WS6 would be a fine choice. The 01-02 have a better intake manifold. But you probably wont be able to afford an 01-02. And thats an easy upgreade you can do later. The main thing to worry about on these cars is the rear end. It basically the only rear weak point.

Very good advice

get a M6 ( 6 speed) ask if the clutch has been replaced, test drive it if the cluch is in great working order, there's a good chance it wasn't beat

also never buy a car with major engine / performance modifications this gives a higher probablity of the car being tired/ beat on a lot

i wouldnt have anything but an M6 and yea i'm lookin for a real clean black on black mostly stock...something i can slwoly build up myself
