1996 Camaro RS.....

[anfking6908]

im looking at a 1996 Camaro RS 3.8L V6w/ 100,000 miles for $4,500.
right now i drive an 85 chevy silverado w/ a 305 V8.
will the camaro be a better investment than my truck or should i save my money?

cars are never good investments... save for a V8

[anfking6908]

well im looking at the V6 cuz insurance will cost me $350 a month at least if i get the V8

if you just need something to drive, keep the truck until you can afford what you want...or is the truck about to die or something? I'd much rather have an integra than a v6 camaro, and I can't think of any reason that I'd buy an integra, I'd buy a bike.

i used to have that exact car. it was a pretty decient car and there are several things available at summitracing.com for that specific engine. it puts out 200 horses at the crank stock. i know that it can me made into a mid 12 second car because there is a guy at our local track that has a 12.68 v6 camaro. plus also that is the only year that the RS was produced in the 4th gen camaro's. if you can chalk it down to about 4000 then i think it would be a good buy. oh and it gets pretty decient gas milage. 96 is also the year that they went to the 3.8 litre from the 160 horse 3.4 litre. so all in all yes i think that it is a good buy. and so you know i sold my 96RS for 5000 pretty easily.

First, a V6 will never be an investment, period. Second, that price is more then a lot of 100k LT1 Z28s. Way too high for a V6 that old with that many miles. Sorry, just being honest. :smt023

If your looking for a more dependable vehicle with much better MPG, buy the Camaro if you can afford it.

As stated, if you're looking at that Camaro for an investment only, I'd keep looking :D
