Wrecked my bird, whats next,,,

[tWiStEdBird]

So I was going down 17-92 and some guy in a work truck pulls out to make a left, and bam. Totaled my 94 :( . Should be settling with the insurance company soon probably about 4k. Looking to get a 3.8 bird, anyone know of any for sale, and what should I be looking for with 4-5k in hand? Thanks!

your going to be stuck still with a 98- bird with that small amount of money. but i think you can find a good 96 97 with that kind of money

I got my 95 for 5000 and it has a 3.4 but i guess the convertible makes it alot more expensive.

Ouch, that sucks dude. Where on 17-92 were you?

[99W68Firebird]

u can still get a 98+ if you finance it or something, dont think you'll find one for $5,000

I got my 2000 camaro with 10.5k miles, 3.8 out the door w/warranty for 14.5k. Bought it last may.

i got mine last july for 9750 [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img] it was worth 12,500 so says KBB

your not going to find a good 98+ with that little amount of money. they sell them, but they arent good ;)

I bought my 99 M5 firebird last year for $8500 with 70000 miles on it. It is the rare color only made in 99, only 1500 total produced and half trans ams, mostly automatics, and some convertibles. I would estimate there were only 250 or so like mine produced. But the guy I bought it from didnt know that... :)

I would recommend buying from ebay, as long as you go and test drive it first, and your buying from a person instead of a dealer, just my experiences.

[tWiStEdBird]

Would everyone here hate me if I went LT1? I figured if I am gonna get financed I might as well go with an LT1, I found a really nice Trans Am, 96 M6, with 92k on the clock. About 5-6k.

[1DangerousV6]

a sweet car is a sweet car...so its your choice man...but running brand new V8 times in a V6 is so much fun haha...i'd either get the LT1 and supercharge it...or just go with another 3.4 and get a turbo kit from Tiago or someone..i dunno if Shane is still selling his

[tWiStEdBird]

Yeah, I'll have my check monday, so I'll let you guys know. Thanks for all the input. If it is a V6 it's gonna be a 3.8, and I'll turbo, if LT1, supercharger of course. One things for sure no more damn automatics! I'm not spending that much time/money to rebuild a slipping tranny again! No more tranny fluid soaked clothes for me! Thank again everyone!
