2000 Camaro


RS69

Recommended Posts

Looking at a 2000 Camaro base with a v6. Has a little over 100,000 miles and is in excellent shape. This would be a driver for the kids. The car has mods so it looks like a SS(t tops, wheels) and isn't driven in winters. It it my coworkers and friend, so fire away on any possible issues the car could have or develop.

 

I am considering it because the v6 seems to be good in terms for the kids and reliability. My dad has a Buick with the 3800 engine near 300,000 miles on it, that is why I may consider this.

 

Thanks,

Rick

The fbody 3.8 and W body 3.8 are different. Also only major down fall is no one wants a v6 fbody. Daily in the winter esp for a newer driver will not be fun either.

 

I didn't know that, so entirely different.

Define "kids"? Rear wheel drive may be an issue .

High school kids(senior and junior) and wife, if it is really bad weather wise, no it will not driven. Our 850 just died at 225,000 miles so I looking for a replacement.

 

I have 2003 civic for my daughter which I bought recently used and turned out to be a pain in the butt. Had to get the transmission rebuilt which wasn't expected. Only considering the Camaro because I know the history of it and my friend keeps his vehicles in great shape.

No they arent. They do have a few small differences, but nothing that effects reliability, etc...just the upper intake is different as well as the oil filter placement..

 

They are great cars. I daily drove mine for a few years with no issues what so ever. The 3.8 is nearly invincible if properly maintained. Has a 4l60e trans and 10 bolt out back, but a stock 3.8 cant hurt them.

I was hoping you would chime in.

 

Thanks

Call your insurance company, tell them you want to put a teenager into a F-body, listen to the number they tell you, then say "Lord Jesus NO!" and buy them a Camry.

 

I have already spoke to them, and it is cheaper than the Volvo. I don't know anyone selling a Camry for the price point I am wanting or I would. I am not wanting any Craigslist junk, just went through that recently on the Honda.
