Just joined this forum. 21 years old saving for a Gen 5 V6 Camaro

Hey guys. For starters I’ve always been a big car guy, I love all types of cars and can appreciate all types of engineering. I’ve always been a Chevy man. Simple, reliable, easy to work on. Currently have 2011 Silverado 4.8. I just recently started saving for a 5th Gen V6 Camaro cause the V8 is just too expensive. I plan to save between 5-8k and start looking for one with high mileage I can buy outright. Definitely don’t mind working on the car as I planned this to be a project car but realized I wanted a Camaro and there’s not much to do in terms of upgrading performance without a turbo or supercharger. Anything I should know or look out for? Gonna be a while before I have the money. Only got 400$ right now. Is it worth the wait?

Idk why it says I’m an F body owner I definitely don’t own a Camaro yet and can’t figure out how to change it lol

Seems in my area there’s quite a few on Facebook marketplace in my price range. I’m pretty set on the car it’s just like I guess I have a tough time staying motivated and disciplined sometimes but I really want one of these cars so how can I get one in 12 months? Is 5-8k enough?

Sorry I know this is kind of a weird post but this is the best way I know to ask the questions I have and maybe even get answers to questions I didn’t know I had

If they are for sale you should know if you can afford it, check and see the mileage and accidents. Definitely don’t want someone else’s troubles. What years are you looking at? I think you can change the F-Body sig.
