Looking for Newer Camaro

**CamaroDMD** · 01-31-2008, 09:21 AM

OK, so I have begun looking for a newer Camaro. I am looking for a 2000-2002 V8 car (newer the better...I'd rather have an SS but to save money, I'll probably get a Z-28). Anyway, what would a fair price be for a T-Top automatic car that would fall into this range. I'm looking for something that will be stock and lower miles (50 to 60K if possible). I'm also looking for a red car with the black top (t-top car). I'm not an expert with these cars, so I wanted some opinion of what I should expect to pay...so I don't pay to much.

I know this is a difficult question to answer, but I just need a fair price range so I know what to expect. Thanks!

z28 with 50k miles will go around 10-11k
SS with 50k miles will go around 12-14k

This all of course depends on the location and the time of year... Good luck with the hunt! Took me about 9 months to find mine.. But it was worth it... The longer you wait and you're willing to travel will more than likely bring you a better deal.

Edit Note: I got my z with 43k, all options (chrome rims, t-tops, leather, 12 disc, all that good shit) and driven by an older couple as a weekend car.. Garage kept, never driven in winters, etc. etc. for $10,500.. Good deals are out there, you just got to find them.

Go with an 01 or 02 as they both have the LS6 intake and do not have EGR.

Check on Ebay too.. It all depends how much you are trying to spend.. If money is not a problem then check out that berger model on ebay.. they are askin 30K but has all sorts of goodies..

Autotrader.com is also a really good resource. Thats where I got my Z. You can refine your search criteria to look for colors, option packages, and price. Its been my experience that you can find exactly the car you want for the price you want to pay. The catch is that you might have to drive quite a distance to find the actual vehicle.

As far as the price goes, you'll have to be the judge of that. I don't think the blue book does the Camaro market any justice.

I agree finding the right deal takes patience. I searched for several months, got discouraged, but finally found the right car at the right price.

My 01 SS vert was 13800, totally stock in great shape. Patience can save you thousands. Best of luck

I have to say that I always mention to people the same thing that 67CamaroRSSS said: Get a 01 or 02 because of the LS6 manifold. Seems like such a small detail at purchase time..UNTIL you get bit by the mod bug later on, then you'll wish you had it! Now I know there are better manifolds out there then the stock one, but if you're not going to go crazy, and if you're like most people doing simple bolt on mods, the LS6 manifold will suit you just fine, it'll save you time, and money in the long run.
