Thats a V6? I didn't know they had that hood. Looks sweet, but I'd get an LT1 over a V6. But you said it would be a daily driver, so I guess the V6 would be better.

Why do you have to buy the car where you live? You can get great deals even when including the price of airfare!

I suggest that get another type of sports car like ohhhhh an RX7, Supra, 300ZX, or maybe just maybe a thirdgen Camaro?

I know

I would love to get another THIRDGEN but I want a new vehicle, I have never been able to afford one before. I also have a kid he is 5 so I might have to buy something bigger, But I would love to get a Camaro. And a new car would allow me to put my 84 Camaro in the garage and get it the way I want it

Vrooom305, i want that picture back of my mom and sister you have there! Now. lol Oh, if it is a daily driver, who cares what it is or what it looks like. Its sole purpose is to get you from point a-b without any hassles and good gas milage if you don't have the money for expensive gas. Get what you can afford! good luck

Just 2 weeks ago, on ebay, there was a red 87 IROC with 29k miles that sold for $4k. There was no reserve on the car, so you had a chance at a low mileaged original for next to nothing. They are not always available. If they were, then they wouldn't be considered a great deal!

$17,000 for a 6 banger sounds a bit high..........
