What one do U guys think?

Anyways, I have a 1988 Sunbird GT Turbo right now which I am gonna sell cause it's been nothing but a pain in the *** and the transmission grinds going into third gear sometimes.

I am probally gonna get another Thirdgen.
Anyways I will probally take out a loan or something and get one for less then $10,000cad. Which is $7,000usd.
Think $7,000 should be able to buy me a good thirdgen?
I don't really care what it is as long as it is a V8 Thirdgen. Auto/Man, doesnt matter but Auto is prefered.

1988 CHEVROLET CAMARO, black, tinted T roof, 350 motor, auto, exhuat, car is in excellent condition, $5,500CAD/$3800USD


1991 CHEVROLET CAMARO RS CONVERTIBLE, excellent condition, loaded, high hwy km, spring special, $8,500CAD/$5900USD


1991 PONTIAC FIREBIRD, t-roof, new tires, 305 cw high preformance chip, excellent cond, $10,000CAD/$7000USD


The 91' Rs vert is by far the slowest one, has a TBI, but it's a vert, and expensive.
The 88' Maro is the cheapest/fastest. Excellent condition the add says. Nice color combo, Black/gold.
The 91' bird, newer, slower, Expensive, nice color.

Theres another 84' maro But it has a 350 Carbed, and i'm sure it's not the original engine.
Probally not going to buy one until summer time though.
Non of them say the Km's in the add though.
Just curious what you guys think?

Ya those are way over priced. If you watch eBay you could get a mint GTA or IROC for around $6k US. I got my '89 Formula off eBay for $2200 US, It is in really nice condition!

I only paid $4200 for my 88 IROC vert with the 305 tpi, i'd have to agree with everyone else and say that they're overpriced, hold out a while and you'll find a much better deal

That convertible looks good, but it's no where near worth $5,900 since it probably has original tbi motor, etc.
