Kinda freakish mileage eh? the price is about 2K too high as well.

I had a 2.8L auto once--it was a dog. I drove a 5 speed once and it was kinda fun--real light on its feet.

That is roughly 2500-2800 American. For a V6, way too high. good Iroc/Z's go for that around me.

Superb condition. Only 78 000km (less than 50k mi). I would say have it inspected and make an offer. But don't pay more than $4000 tops.

2500-2800 american, in my neck of the woods, bad, rusting, panels falling off, subframe rotting away, out of tune, cracked windshield TPI iroc Z's go for that...for a nice IROC, that's clean, low miles, good paint, nice interior (not perfect on any of these, just good clean and straight) you'd be expecting 5k easy...sometimes more.

91 Z 110K ish, t tops, good paint, decent interior year old ties, good tune, cat back, and some mods is sitting at 2700 OBO.
It started at 4500 firm. He has been tring to sell the car for almost a year now. I actually did go by and look at it. He was happy to see a third gen camaro pull up cause he thought the car was sold...
Where I am, these cars are a dime per 2 dozen. Hell even the junk yards do not want them, there are quite a few in really good shape rotting in yards around me... 91/92 bird vert bad motor 350 TPI sitting rotting. no rust CLEAN interior.... sitting there.
It may do you good to look at other regions, travel an hour or 2 and save a few grand.
