pontiac firebird 1996 2dr standard ..he was asking for 2000$ but agreed for 1800$, this is the first car i am buying so i have no experience at all..

my brother is a mechanic so he checked the car and he says it's in good condition..

somebody said i could get it for 1200$ so it made me wonder...

am i paying too much?

Let me guess, the car is being held by customs in spain waiting to be imported, but the seller's buddy owes him money, so he gave him the car, and he's just going to sell it to you for the cost that it would take to clear customs and ship it here?

wow, thats a smokin deal, expect $10k for that same car here. I'd pick that up in heartbeat. the V6 to SBC conversion isn't hard at all, same tranny and everything:hitit:

phone number....


Sorry to be mean or whatever but are you mentally challanged?

Look at the prices of other 96 Firebirds. $1,800 is a fucking steal. By the time you have asked us enough questions about whether you should buy it or not it will already be fuciking sold.

If you don't plan on buying it today can you give me his phone number so I can?

thank you guys!

i wonder why it's so cheap. i tried to search some websites but i couldn't find anybody selling this car so i don't know its regular price..

sorry if i wasted your time with a ridiculous question like that..

V6 with 280k? No way dude, id say maybe about 5 grand. I was lookin at a 95 Z28 stick with 130k for ten grand a while ago.

Either way, 1800 is a deal.

If youd pay ten for that you should just buy my LS1 Camaro for 20k.

What is so funny is that 3 years ago my firend sold his 95 z28 Camaro fully loaded and shit for 4500 because no one wanted to buy it. Now you can not find a camaro for less than 10K.

if it was beaten to shit without a motor, i would still but it for 1800. you cant even buy a 1996 cavalier for friggin 1800.
