is it worth it to buy a 1996 z26 with 135000 miles, ck eng lite on, supposedly needs an 02 sensor.
parts replaced already from prev.owner are radiator, heater core, a/c compressor and condensor, fuel tank, and brake lines. should i make the investment, he wants $1100, this is a private party sale. could somebody help me in my decision? thanks. cs.
The price actually sounds like a decent price. When I did a kbb search it said the average price for the car in fair condition is $1700. I would be very weary to buy a car with a check engine light on. If I were you and you have the means I would take the car to a mechanic before you purchase it to have it checked over. If it's only the 02 sensor that needs to be replaced then I'd say go ahead and buy it and replace it (depending on the cost of the 02 sensor) but I wouldn't be very comfortable buying unless I was completely sure that the check engine light is nothing too serious.
