any car experts?

[Fair Warning]

saw a really awesome 1970 camaro for $6k online but it was suspiciously cheap, and fully restored and upgraded with only 18k miles.

i think its valued at 13k, so maybe this guy really wants to sell it, or am i missing something???


will rep all help

Usually cars that old tend to have problems more often then not, he probably wants to get something out of it since he has put more money into it. Just meet up with the seller, ask any questions you want, and test drive it for a long drive to see if Anything is wrong. Remember you are the potential buyer, do what it takes to see if it is legit since you are paying 6k

Maybe omething is wrong with the car, but probably not.

Ill place bets saying that the car either has transmission problems or engine problems

its a manual, does that lower the price maybe?

 

[The Exception]

Yeah! Especially if you just buy off of what you see online. It's better to go see it and test drive it and all that to see if it's worth the 6,000

He is probably military. An old guy would have priced it high. If you do happen to test drive it, bring a friend/family.

Yes, plus manual transmission repairs cost less than Automatic transmission repairs, bc mechanics can easily fix Manual trans

It might not necessarily have a problem, he might just not know it's true value. Since you do, you're skeptical because or the low price. But to be sure you should get it checked out first. You have a dilemma since you're buying it online.

Some people just don't know the worth of things. I bought a 1970 Dodge Charger for $700 from some guy. Yes I really said $700. It wasn't running but we got it to run within 2 hours and now its been sitting in the garage for 3 years until I have enough money to completely restore it.

Anyways, 6000? I think that's possible.

Actually the car is a 1970 camaro Z28. Valued at 38k......

So for under 6000, I'm thinking it's a steal or scam

I hope that this guy just wants to sell it fast and isn't scamming people because from the pictures it's a beautiful car with lots of upgrades .

You'd have to look at it. That is a very low price so there could be something wrong with it. Or his wife could be making him sell. Or he inherited it from a relative or something and doesn't want it. Just to let you know they cost at least 6x that

I'm actually going to where it's located in a month for vacation. So I could check it out then. What are some signs that it's fake, if it's 6x below value?

To fix up your old car, you have to hook up your V2 carbon-helium engine to your petroleum oxide sector tank, which is located in the isolated bottom top-right corner of your vehicle's elliptical collaborative gear shift. After this is done, you need to get your carbon-uranium photon filter and hook it up to your vehicle's external parallel bio-nuclear helix drive. If you follow these steps, your vehicle will be working in no time.

If it doesn't have an engine haha. It would be hard to tell honestly. Check out the body for work or shoddy craftsmanship. Some people buy kit cars and turn them into name brands. In that case the body will look cheap

Depends.

Car is indeed a classic but it isnt in mint condition. Also it has been altered.

Therefore, the deappriciation value is greater than the rarity value that the car brings.

See the car for yourslef before assuming that it has to worth more.
