has lot of miles on it might need to replace the motor soon and you don't
know if the floor panels are rust out you have to go look at it before you
buy it put $1500 in to much that car needs work tell him $700.00
also that car will need a paint job

Need more info. But I would say if it runs and drives, it looks like it would fix up real nice. 3Gen T-Top cars look so good with tops out.

Re: should i buy this camaro?

$2,200 is way too much for a '91 RS in that shape, Very High Mileage, needs paint, eats up gas should be around 15 mpg around town, figure in a tune up, worn brakes or clutch are a concern of mine when looking at a stick car and possible leaking t-tops due to old weatherstrip, so I'd offer $1,200 cash. it's not the only 3rd Gen t-top available, I've seen them go for less, some steals, I saw an '87 Black Iroc Z with the 5.7 TPI auto t-tops selling for $1,800 about 3 months ago.

Without a doubt check those floorpans, especially on a TTOP.

He's asking too much for the condition it's in.
