Looks like a clean car. No underhood pics...

**nochey** · 12-09-2010, 08:06 AM

No i havent found any underhood pics. I went and looked at it about a month ago on a sunday when they were closed. It was unlocked and i looked it over pretty well and under the hood looked like it was well taken care of.

I was just curious if it is all stock. Good luck on this!

Yeah it was all stock from what i could tell. No dash cracks and only a small tear on the driver seat on the side. Still had stickers under the hood from the original dealership it was bought from. The only issue ive seen is on the carfax (free on website link) it shows a accident in 06. It may have just been something small though.

Ask the dealership to put it up on a lift for you. I did when I bought ours and spent at least 10 minutes with a friend looking everything over.

Looks pretty clean to me, id take a peek underneath for any leaks.

I like the dealers description:

"When you turn the key in the ignition on this Camaro, you will instantly feel the adrenaline start pumping through your veins, you break out into a cold sweat knowing you are about to tear up the highway and you will constantly dream about the next time you will be able to drive this car. Won't last long so contact us today to set up an appointment to view this vehicle!"

Yeah and the funny thing is the car has been there at least a month and a half. Ive been keeping my eye on it

**WICKEDLS1** · 12-09-2010, 10:28 AM

yeah there is a dealership thats right down the road from the one that i work at and they have had the same ss for almost 3 months

its an 02 ss red w/ 62000 miles thats in good condition

asking price starts at 16,500 and they wont budge off of 15k

i wonder why its still there

**nochey** · 12-09-2010, 10:49 AM

They are asking $7993. How much should I offer?

**TLS_Addict** · 12-09-2010, 11:53 AM

Start at $6,500 and see what they say. Its a used car that has been on the lot for a month. If they are asking 8k you should be able to get it for $7,250-$7,500 without issue but start low as you can always come up.

**1998ss** · 12-09-2010, 12:24 PM

that looks like a nice clean find

Start at 5k all they can say is no I personally would not go over 6500.

I wouldnt either but sounds like he wants the car and I am doubting they will let it go for less than low-7k. For 8k I think he could do better but it does look nice. At least if if was a Forum member you could see from his experience and posts of how the car has been for the last few years and what it has endured.

if you really want the car just haggle with them a little bit and yes it may take leaving the dealership acting pissed off in order to get the price that you want. but just hang in there and it will come around for the price you want eventually. especially if they have been sitting on it for a month or two. i work at a dealership here in OK and if a car is on the lot more then a month it in reality costs them money so they want to get rid of it asap
