Brand New 02 RS Should i buy it???

Just went and looked at a dealership out in the sticks. They had a brand new 2002 RS without the ground effects. Sicker said 24k$ but since it hadn't sold they brought it down to 17700$ It is loaded no t tops. 8 spkr stereo automatic 3.42 limited slip black on black with 2 gray racing stripes. Do you think it is worth the money?? I know it is only a v6 but I already have 2 built camaros. How reliable is the 3800 and how is it power wise.

third gens never came with 3800s so few of us know anything about them... if it had a 2.8, 3.1, or 3.4...we could help ya out a little more.

that car is good for mid/low 15's in the quarter... since its brand new, you shouldnt have to worry about reliability, but if you do, you've got the warrantee!
