Hello, I wanted to know if this is a good deal for this car or not. It is a 1992 Camaro RS 25th anniversary edition with white paint and red stripes with red cloth interior. It has the basic 305 V8 with an automatic transmission. Power windows/locks. The car has 26,000 miles and is all original with all of the paperwork and window sticker.

The owner wants $9,000 cash for it. I found a picture of the same car on google: I appreciate any help and buying advice offered! This would also be my first car ever as well if I buy it. I hope I posted this in the right section, if not I'm sorry.

Can someone please help me with buying advice? I only have 3 days left to respond to the owner.

Thank you in advance

It seems a tad high to me, I love the '92 RS, my dream RS is a '92 fully loaded 5.0 V8 auto but in dark blue with t-tops and a Black Hardtop, but hey maybe you can get him to go down to 8 or 7grand, its a good first car, all original you don't see many like that anymore they get modified too easily. It's a nice example of a '92. It has 170hp and 255lbs torque, you should get a Carfax report before you make any commitments though. Gotta be sure its never been wrecked before.

I think that 9,000 may be a bit expensive but it is very clean, and the low mileage helps.
if you have your heart set on it you can buy it. i'm sure it'd be a great car.

Thank you both for responding! The owner does have the carfax printed out for me too! I think it needs a new battery and the A/C charged as well.

Someday I hope to put an LS1 in it and keep all of the original stuff.

Make sure to take a fine tooth comb inside and under the car make sure there's no rust building up around the exhaust or floor panels.

Thanks for the help! This same car got first place at the Super Chevy Show too!

The car looks extremely nice! The question is: Is this "your" car? If so, buy it and enjoy!
Personally, I would only buy an Z-28 or IRCOC-Z. There are some really nice ones out there at that price range. It may be hard to find one with the same color combo though...

Is that Alum lake?

Even with those low miles, The price is very high for a RS with that engine. I have a friend who just sold a mint condition 85 IROC with a TPI for $10K, and it only has 27K miles.

I wouldn't think about that car for more than $6-7K, and even then you're probably going to kick yourself later for spending that much and not getting an IROC or a Z28. They hold value better and have far better collectors value.

That may not be what you are concerned with, but don't PAY for collectors value when there isn't any there.

I don't think so. I could be wrong though.
