The best advice I can give you, is never fall in love with the car. Know how to walk away when you know it's too much money.

Took me about a year just to find this 98 Camaro at the right price.

Agreed lou, i think i'll cool it and wait a while, and yes mike, gotta not fall in love with the car until you've bought it. Like others have said, good things come to those who wait.

I would highly reccomend opening up the drain nut for the supercharger and smell the oil/look at the color. Nasty brown is no good. Never been changed. The supercharger probably has no more than 20k-40k miles left to go.

If it smells like really really really nasty bad cheese its due for a change, or never changed. If its a light odor of bad cheese its ok. (yea...hard to believe thats its natural smell. gross!)

I'd haggle with the price. My monte was bought at 12k, already 1k-2k over blue book at 49k miles. (I still think it was worth it!)

It's priced so low it raises a red flag, what does the dealer know they are not releasing? What did he get it for, as he is even making a profit at $4,000. I would for sure kick the tires on this one..... Could be a nice snag if it checks out and you only have to pump a couple grand into it to bring it online....

Could be, but i'd rather pay more and get something with lower miles. No use spending 4 grand to get a car with 30k less miles than i've got now.
