Need new brakes, help?

Im looking in to buying a 91 Camaro Z28. The dealer said the car needs new brakes. I'm not sure if he means new rotors, or what, but where can I go about finding new brakes for this car? Are there special brakes I need, and on average how much do they cost? I'm sort of on a budget and would also need to fix some other minor interior things on the car.

Re: Need new brakes, help?

any parts store will be able to get the brakes, the calipers are under 20 bux with a core return, pads are cheap, as are rotors/hubs. Keep in mind these cars do not have slip on rotors, so its a rotor/hub, it will need bearings as well. Still not a huge deal, but i dont know what the car will need because i have not seen it.

If its a dealer, and they know it needs brakes, why have they not fixed it?

I'm not sure. They said it comes as is. It also needs a headliner, radio, and new dash. They haven;t fixed one thing on it.

Re: Need new brakes, help?

what the model, engine, trans, mileage and asking price?

what dash does it need? just the top because i assume its cracked? they are hard to find and a good one will set you back a couple hundred bux and shipping.

headliner is available int eh aftermarket, or you can fix whats there.

It's a Z28, 305 5.0 engine, auto trans, and 91,580 miles. There asking $3000. But since it needs breaks, radio, headliner, and dash I could probably get them down a lot. For the dash I was going to use this if I decided to get it:
