Hi

I just totalled out my daily driver (07 aveo) and am looking for a daily driver. I've noticed the bottom has fallen out of the car market and was thinking of picking up a LS1-T56 powered camaro or firebird. i'm young, gotta live it up before I get tied down with kids and all that, right?

Anyway, I see alot of these camaros for $9000 bucks with around 85K on them. I see a few with 40-50 for 10-11K as well.

If I get a camaro with 80 or so thousand miles on it, what kind of reliability can I expect out of it? I understand the LS1 drivetrain is pretty tough, and I only do highway driving too. What kinds of things do go wrong? I don't beat on my cars and will change the oil on time, every time, I won't be racing this car or modding it. Also, with the car in general, what else goes wrong? Are t-tops very leak prone?

I've got a 95, but its a circle track car and never has seen the street so It not helping me out here!!

If this isn't the right place for this post, could a mod move it?

thanks
