Ummm...I think the guy is on drugs. Unless the car is in pristine condition or he has a 92 pushing over 500hp it aint worth 10 grand. 25th anniversary camaros are everywhere. Many people on these boards have one.

I wouldnt pay more than 5500 for any thirdgen ( with the exception of police package, tta, firehawk, you get the point) I dont care how good of condition it is.Unless it had a ton of mods or Ls1 or something. And I sure as hell wouldnt pay more than 2000 for anything with a 305 in it, hell I got mine for less than $1000 with 88,000 miles with a good engine and trans, just a few dents here and there. That guy is crazy.

If it was an original 1LE car, Firehawk, TTA or something w/ low miles then maybe $10k... but no way for that car. 2500 isn't that many compared to how many were made that year, but not worth it in my opinion...

"Technically", every '92 Camaro was a 25th anniversary. They all have the dash plaque to prove it.

There was a limited number of "Heritage Package" Camaros, but all those got were fancy stripes, body colored wheels, and black headlight pockets. Pretty much everything a guy with masking tape and a spray gun can do.

I bought mine for 2000 then put another 7000 in it. I still wouldnt get over 5000 if I sold it!

If it had some insanely low mileage, I could see a 350 Z28 going for $10k. 130k miles, however, is like 120k miles more than insanely low mileage. He'll be lucky to get $5k.

When I was 16 and looking for my first car i used to get the new auto trader every week and there was this clean B4c camaro in perfect condition with 60k on it that the guys was asking $7500 for and that thing was in there for a whole year until he dropped the price to $6500. Its kind of a double edged sword these cars are cool because you can get them cheap, but after you spend a ton of money on them youll get way less than half of what you put into it. Thats why I dont ever plan to sell mine.
