Hi to all:

I just found a guy wanting to sell a 1995 Camaro for $5,500. It has
53,000 miles on it and is in good condition. Nothing premium,
everything is standard.

How reliable is this year and model?
I'm planning to take it to my garage and mechanic for inspection
before the sale.
What should I be looking for? He has no maintenance records on it,
but says that he oil has been changed every 3,000 miles.

Is there a way to tell that the speedometer turned over and really has
153,000 on it?

Thanks for all the help,

Art

The speedometer has a 100000 digit. What engine/trans? In general, if
reliability is of paramount importance to you, it might not be the best
choice.

The engine is a 3.4 liter, and the trans is an automatic.

PS...Exactly how reliable on average are they? Where would I look for
trouble spots?
Thanks!

Check the vehicle sites like Edmunds.com and read the reviews. In that
car the trans is probably the weak link.

Site for prices depending on the condition.
