What to look for when buying a high mileage 98 Z28?

I called the two camaro guys mentioned above. They both sound to be in good condition (although, the 99 has new tires).

Given the 2k price difference, I'm leaning torwards the 98. The 98 guy is pretty firm on his price, while the 99 guy might be willing to negotiate more.

I'll definitely look at both of them before making a decision.

(All these cars are automatics and have T-Tops, power windows, power seats, power mirrors, etc. and claim to be in great condition)

1. 98 Camaro Z28 - 128k miles, Black, Leather - $6000
2. 99 Camaro Z28 - 103K miles, Pewter, Cloth - $7995
3. 99 Firebird (Trans Am I think?) - 106k miles, White, Leather - $6950
4. 98 Firebird (Don't know if it's a formula or a trans am, it has Z06 rims) - Unknown miles (30k on engine / transmission with kevlar clutches?), Silver, Leather - $6895

The carfax looks good for all of them except for the fourth, which I haven't gotten the VIN yet so I haven't ran a carfax on it.

It was very hard to find my car, it took me over 2 months. Just don't settle with total crap.

Definitely take your time. I was looking for 2 years before I found mine. I really wanted black or navy blue, but it didn't happen.

Another car with less miles

I say it is worth to pay a bit more and get lower miles. I was alright paying close to 10 Grand for a car with under 55k. But, I could not even find one. My car was the 10th car I looked at.
