I forgot about this one by me. The seller is a kid who works the front desk of my gym. This was his daily driver until he upgraded to a real nice '94 z28 so i think it's pretty reliable, but don't quote me. Car is in suffern ny now. Doesn't look that great in the pic's but nothing a cheap paint job couldn't fix. At least I know a little history on this thing and as of last week was still for sale. Price is $1200 but you could probably get it for 800-900 i think rationally. See posting for addditional tidbits i found out from chatting w/the owner. Good luck and will post any new findings i see as i'm always looking. P.S. a lot of cars from the tri-state are posted on this website as their members are also always looking for deals and i have the same web name there as well.

Hey Silverstang84.....i got the phone number of that posting i referred you to previous....number is: 845.325.4446. Vehicle is still for sale and seller stated he just started it up recently and gave it a spin. It's funny b/c i heard him say his new car is giving him issues and may return to driving this one. Check it out and give him an offer..he probably wants to get rid of it pretty quickly rather than having it through the winter.

Car is still for sale, and the mileage is low. Maybe you guys can work out a deal....

.... he seems pretty firm, and I don't blame him as its a beautiful car. However, the car has been for sale for quite awhile, and he will not go down. It might be in your best interest to simply save up a little more if you can, and reach out to him in about a month or two when you have the money. This is what I meant when I said that maybe you guys can work something out, as maybe he will be willing to wait for you, because its been for sale this long as it is, and he obviously doesn't need to make any room by getting rid of it. I've owned these cars for a very long time, and if I could go back in time when I bought my very first third gen, I would have waited to get something a little better. Remember, you always get what you pay for, so don't be in a rush. You have two thousand, and that is good, but save up some more, and soon that two thousand will be three or four. Believe me, I'm only telling you this because I've been there and done that, many many times. I kidd you not when I tell you that I must have had over thirty third gens by now, ask my buddy Dave (project89), as I have had over ten just during the time that I have known him lol. Everytime I start eyeing either a TTA, or SLP Firehawk, something always pops up for cheap, then I make the mistake in buying it, and throw more money into it than I should. Be patient bro, and save up for something that doesn't need work, especially if its going to be a daily driver.
