I am going to be in FL later this month so I figured I would check out Craigslist ahead of time. All these cars are in the price range I am looking for. Not looking for a show car, just a weekend fun driver. Please let me know which ones you think would be a good deal. Thanks in advance!!!

Links are set in order of my personal preference
P.S. I called each one but no one answered on a Sunday, so I cannot confirm they are still available.

I would go with the one that looks the best in person. I would also look at all 4 before committing to any of them. I bet the dealer listed cars have more negotiation room in the pricing. They all seem a little high in the slow market that seems to be gripping the car sales world right now.

Number 1 and 2 are misleading in the ads. They are not SS cars. Nice appearing, but a lot of stuff needs to be looked at. The 3rd car, not appealing at all to me. The 4th car in Pensacola looks pretty good, but again distant pics with no details.

Thats what I was thinking about the dealer ones, hopefully being able to bargain them down. I do not have time to see all of them but I was hoping you guys would be able to help me narrow it down to 1 or 2. Of course seeing it in person will help out alot.

Number 1 and number 4

definately number 1 and 4, with preference on 4

number 1!:thumbsup:

I hope you are driving because Pensacola is about 700 miles from Miami.

 

[staindsoul]

Yep I know, thats why I am trying to narrow it down. #1 and #4 I like alot, now I just need to talk to the sellers and get more information about the car. Are the asking prices good or should they be lower on those cars?

None of them are near Miami.
#3 is in Palm Bay, which without looking at a map is either near Lake Okeechobee, Port St. Lucie or Melbourne. There are 3 similar named cities.
And yes, Pensacola is actually in another country when it compared to the proximity to Miami.

BTW, I like the blue one.....

Hey guys, just talked to the owner of #1 link (http://justmusclecars.com/carimage.asp?thumb=6) and he would be willing to do $16k including shipping to Texas.

He said the only fault he knows of right now is a bad master cylinder with the brakes. He said its an A/C car but its not currently working.

If ya'll think it is a good value, I am going to have some one inspect it. Is there anyone on here that is close or do you know of any good companies that charge a reasonable price? Thanks!

 

[depley]

just so you know you can figure $1000 to fix the a/c. Done this twice on cars like that and both times it was right around $1000.
Can't tell if #1 has disc brakes or not, if it doesn't you will want to convert.
I know there are a couple guys that are close to this dealer, in fact know this guy and say he is a stand up guy. Post a thread asking about them you will get responses, I know this because I asked about this dealer a while back.

After further talking to the dealer, there seems like there is a little more work that it needs (cracked windshield, minor headrest tear, other interior issues). I think I could do better for the money.

Has anyone checked out a member on here classified? http://www.chevelles.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=22449
It looks like it has some nice work on it. Would a price in the upper teens be good?
