Scanning the Traderonline adds I found an add for this company, Camaro Headquarters in California.
Get these prices...
Used 1LE drive shaft $500!
Aluminum space saver tire $1000
What a freakin joke! What are these people smoking?
Do a search for 92 Camaro's to find the adds.

Ya I live about 10 min away from there and i went there one time to check out parts and they wanted to much and the guy tried to get me to trade my car as a even trade for a ( i think it was an 88 ) conv. with hella high miles a 305 and it was in ****ty condition- i let him try to sell me but there was no way in hell i was gonna trade. Iv never seen a good deal out of there and the dumbass dident believe me about my 1/4 mile Times when i was stock ( 14.1 at 99 mph at the track with no traction ) he said no tpi does better than a 14.7 at 95 or so- lol id never recomend buying there.

I bought my car from him. It isn't that bad of a place to buy a car as long as you know what your doing and don't let the guy rip you off. He tried to rip a friend of mine off on a Z, but if the car is in descent condition the prices aren't that much higher than from a private party.
