Just hearing that exhaust had me in heaven. Gotta love top-down stuff:dopey:

I like the feeling of knowing there's a monster right in front of you and you're controlling it too.:dopey:
Shame about this Camaro, I'm sure there are plenty out there though (including manuals;)).
 
For $2,000 I'd buy it regardless. You can have that little stuff fixed for next to nothing since the parts are cheap. As long as the engine is in decent shape you'd have a good car. But do keep in mind that an automatic Z28 isn't really a bad thing, or at least I don't think so.
 
Well me and my father aren't enough of mechanics to know where this oil leak is coming from, we just know it drips all the way to the cat, and there is some oil residue all around the valve covers. If we knew where it was coming from and how much it cost to fix, he'd be much more inclined.
 
Valve seals, oil sending unit, and possibly the rings are worn. It'll probably still drive for another 50k-100k miles if you baby it--and since its a Z you won't. :p

:D

Until I start watching the gas gauge. The thing dropped 1/8 over the course of ~15-20 miles
 
Just wondering, would you consider an ex police crown victoria? Having just bought one, I have realized how awesome these things are.

I am considering one actually. There's a few under 3k. When you bought yours, how many miles did it have? And hows the engine/suspension stuff doing?

Got mine with 107,XXX miles. The car drives like it's new and everything is great. Handles like a dream, quite surprising actually, never would have thought it would handle as good as it does. Gotta love it when I punch the gas and it shoves me back into the seat and chirps the tires going into second. It just doesn't seem right for something that weighs over 4000lbs to do that with the advertised horsepower.

Not to mention that my car was a State of Rhode Island highway patrol car, so all the mileage was highway miles. The car was definitely pampered by the police department before it came to Canada.

Awesome:dopey:

After I talk to the insurance agent this wednesday(damn plans pushed it back a week) I'll be going to test drive an interceptor, should the insurance be ok. What kinda mpg's are you getting?
 
While both WOULD BE good cars... Avoid the both of them.

Find a stock, unmolested vehicle, and then do what you want with it.


That said I second the CVPI motion. (Third that is)
 
Well I'm seeing a trend here. If I find one in good conditioning I'd most likely buy. I'm up over 1k in savings, so they arent out of reach, with the loan I'll get from my father.
 
If you look at the Thunderbird you see that it doesn't have a muffler. Where I live thats illegal. Its two different colors, kinda embarrassing if you ask me. And it says it needs a new windshield and back tires.
 
Ok boys, the time is here. I'm 2 days from being able to take my driving test to get my license, and I've hit a snag.

Everything I like rapes me in insurance, go figure. The cheapest figure I could get was a 6 month quote on a 1995 Thunderbird V8 for $1800. So this is where I turn to you guys. What are some of the cheapest cars to insure for a young driver such as myself? And for the record I'm trying very hard to not have a Civic
 
Jeep Wrangler, I think I'm paying about 100 bucks per 6 months. Course no accidents, got good grades in high school, and did some safe driver thing.

Only one problem. At least in my area, Wranglers just WON'T depreciate! So any of them under like 4k have ~160k on the clock. I'd love one though.

What about this?

Or even this

Man those cars are cheap! Either one looks good, though the Mazda has less miles on it. Check them out in person yourself and make sure they're solid.

That Millenia should be cheap to insure too, seeing as it's a Luxury Family Sedan. But it looks so nice! I plan to check em out a lot more in the next month

Would a Lincoln Mark VIII be reasonable on insurance?
