if you couldn't guess, i am looking for a new camaro. Would u guys buy this-

89 iroc z with 5.7, liter 350 engine, no t tops, leather interior, but some rust above the wheel well. asking price 2,700$ it has 102,000 miles!

 

Depending on how bad the rust will be to fix, I would say sounds like a decent deal. I would try to talk them down some though. 5.7L 3rd Gens around here go for at least $3500 with more miles than that.

that sounds like a pretty good deal. look on autotrader for a black 89 in burbank. 83k miles. i talked to the guy, he said it idles rough, and theres a little rust on the drivers door. he wants $3500

 

Your not a post ***** are you? You hacked that # in there didnt you? DIDNT YOU!!! LOL

>hey you above, keep pointing out the rust to the seller. Tell him what its going to cost to fix and that you only have 2000 or2200. If he doesnt sale raise your price 100 bucks a time.

 

Make sure to check the entire car out for rust.........

 

kaga-

yeah i called on that car too, i dont know much about cars though so i didn't have a damn clue what he ment when he said it idles rough. How hard is that to fix? thanks for all your help guys, this forum is really great and really very helpful

 

If you don't know much about cars I'd suggest buying a car free of problems if it's goin to be your daily driver. If it weren't for my brother I wouldn't have been able to have the IROC as mine when I did.

The rought idle could be multiple problems. Dirty injectors, clogged cat, in need of a tune up, vacuum leak and i"m sure others.

 

Yeah, check it all for rust.. cause I doubt the underbody will be rust free if the wheel wells have rust. If its minor, it can be fixed. And if the rest is in good shape, I'd go for it.

 

holy Shnikes....

8000 posts. I don't think I will ever catch that kinda posts....

 

my intrepid idles rough, and i cant do an dang thing about it. its in the computer. i guess i could buy a new one

edit: 50 posts:lala:, take that mark

 

Like said above, if there's rust in the fenderwells, then I'm sure there's rust somewhere else too. Our cars have a problem with rust on the flooboards, along the sides and in the back under the trunk (if you can call it that). As for the rough idle, that could be from a few things. It could be a little as the plugs need changed to possibly a knock in the engine that makes it sound like it's running rough. I'd go look at it first and see for yourself (you can never trust an ad). If it needs work, and you're willing to spend the time and money to work on it, make a low offer. Then if they don't accept, call them back in a week and see if the car is still for sale (chances are it will if it needs work) and see if they will accept that offer, or you can offer a little more.
Hope this helped, if you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.
