Chevrolet Camaro Forum : “How much is a good 1969 Chevrolet camaro worth, and how is gas to the mile?”

a) very poor. it has a V8, and OLD V8, so you just know it will get shit mileage.
b) your kidding right? your parents are willing to spend $45000 to buy you a rare, antique 69 camaro?
are they fucking retarded?

how about you save up your own money, go out, and buy yourself a car, with your own money.

oh, and you ARE aware then when parents say maybe, thats just they're wauy of saying no right?

lmao... good luck kid..  if you get that car.. i am santa clause

Thanks for playing

and i'm the freakin easter bunny!!!!

hahaha 69... i had one of those the other night, then i blew my load and kicked out of  house with no cab money... cause a a true man gets his 69 then tells her to fuck off....

o and the car is nice to...  

have a great day

the gas mileage is probably around 10 mpg but if you have 45K's to spend this probably isn't an issue. But the chances are high that you wont live to see your 17th birthday if you drive one of these. If you have the money buy one of the late 2000's or the new one comming out soon so at least it will have traction control.

Buying a car like that isn't smart for a new driver because when you wreck it (and you WILL wreck it), insurance companies don't care that you spent 45k on it... all they know is that the kelly bluebook value is $500 and when you total your $45,000 car and get a $500 check for it, it sucks hard... not to mention that the term "crash test safety" didn't exist in 1969.  You'd be better off with a newer camaro.  you could have a BITCHIN '02 camaro for that much.  Hell, you could probly pull an 11.0-11.5 second quarter with that much dough and drive around embarassing kids like me that think their 13.7 second car is fast.  Or kids who think their '07 mustang gts are fast... or kids who think their z06 is fast... or kids who think ther MC12 is fast... (ok, maybe not the mc12)

better gas mileage, hella faster car, newer interior, you will get more $ when you total it, you won't die when you total it... sounds like a good deal to me.   

cars you can get for 45k...

08 porsche boxter
08 chevy corvette
08 supercharged mustang gt
08 lancer evolution
08 audi TT with an aftermarket turbo kit
imported skyline with the righthanded steering wheel (those are fun haha)
etc...

something else to think about is if you aren't a mechanic, that car isn't for you.  They break all the time and if you don't know how to fix it, it will end up costing you a lot more than 45k in the long run.  Hell, my camaro breaks all the time and it's almost 20 years newer.

don't get me wrong... that would be a hella cool car to have... but i'd much rather have an 08 corvette for about the same price.

69 Camaro in mint condition is about $112,000 and if you could buy one for 45000 let me know I will buy it.  It gets about 8 to 12 mpg and at your age you should be riding bicycles.

It really depends on the car.  They can go from around 20  or 30 thousand for a regular Camaro all the way up to $500,000 for a specialty Yenko model..  Mileage depends on the size of the engine, the carb, etc.
