CamaroRS385hp

I was drivin around town today and saw a camaro i'd never seen before parked at this little dumpy car lot. Well I have a V-6, and am trying to get a '94 vette engine and tranny for my car, but I decided to see what kinda power the camaro in the lot would pull. I looked it over and it looked pretty nice. It was an '85 Z28 with some Iroc stickers so it prob. had the Iroc package with it, had a badass hood (the one w/ louvers and vents on each side of them), a nice set of wide tires and decent rims. The paint though was in baaad condition. It desperately needed a repaint and some clearcoating. There was also a few dents, a ton of scratches, and some rust. Well I went inside to see if I could take it out for a test drive, and asked how much it was. The guy said it has 88K miles, and was $4150!!!!! Well I couldn't drive it cause the guy who was selling it wasn't there, but I couldn't believe how much they were trying to charge. I looked up on www.kelleybluebook.com, and an '85 z28 w/ iroc package, loaded with every possible option, and in the highest condition, was only worth $2500. Well anyway, sorry that went on kinda long but I just thought the people were crazy for thinking they'll get $4150 out of that car...

if i were u id try printing that sheet from kbb off with the price quote and go show it to them there and point out all the scratches bad paint and rust and see if the price will go doun if not just walk away cause you dont need to be ripped that bad unless there is something spectaculare done to the engine or soemthing.

Yeah I probably would do that if I was interested enough in actually getting the car. I just wanted to test drive it though to get an idea of what some v-8's can pull. Even if I could get him down to $2500 (which would still be an overprice cause of the condition of the car), I'd have to sell my car to get the $$ to buy it, and even though mine's a V-6 it's in great condition (check out my pics in the link in my sig!) and I love it. I never wanna give up the car, even for another '92 cause you just grow attatched to it ya know? Oh, and there was nothing special under the hood. It was pretty clean, but stock....Maybe I'll print out the sheet and bring it to the guy just to see what he says....
