Bought my first car
Finally I can stop taking the bus everywhere
It's an 86 Firebird, almost completely original. 75k original miles, 2.8L v6 engine, yada yada yada.
I'll take some better pics when I get it home (it's being certified in the shop right now)
Picked it up for $3500

Re: Bought my first car
You guys are all forgetting something. HES IN CANADA. Cars are MORE expensive and Harder to find in canada, Especially Firebird/camaros. Also it seems like a clean car.

Re: Bought my first car
Iwas getting ready to say something about price, but if he is in Canada...thats about right. Noticed headlight motors are bad, looked like they were not on in photo. Nice first car, yes they are cheaper in the US.

Re: Bought my first car
i thought it was alittle high aswell. but now that i think about it isnt canadas currency weaker than the dollar? so 3500 for that car is something like 2700? in USD?
anyways. congrats on the wheels. the paint looks pretty good.
