If it's a v8 all I can say is you better buy a opti spark unit as soon as you buy it (if you buy it) and have it on hand that is one of the biggest downfalls of the lt cars

That's not a bad lookin' RS. I know a lot of people are saying the price is high, but I don't know if it is or not. I would compare it to similar Camaros in your area to see what the going price is. Prices have a tendency to fluctuate depending on where you live.

RS packages are simply for the v6 models.

Unless it is a 5-speed it's not going to be that fun. The A4 in those Camaros feel pretty slow.

Ignition wise, they always seem to have a problem with the #6 coil pack / wire.

That price is SO HIGH. I'm trying to sell my 4th Gen for 3500 next year, assuming that I will probably get talked down to 3000.

Also... it's not even a T-Top car, that won't be fun.

I think it's a great looking RS, but I would have to agree with everyone here that the price is way to high for a 16 year old car with over 100K on it. For $5,500, you should be able to get something around a 2000.

I'm not going to do it because he wouldn't give me more than $3,000 for my car.. I drove the camaro and it felt awkward.. The steering wheel is too little in comparison to my monte's.
The check engine light was on, and he said it was for emissions, which my check engine light comes on for the same reason sometimes, so I know that's not a big deal.

Mine pops on for the EGR valve in the Camaro too. The design on them is terrible.

Walking away was a good idea.

I actually really like the wheel on the Camaro

As cool as it looks, you can simply find better cars for better deals.

You're probably smaller and have smaller hands than me too, lol.
