I'm about to buy my second F-body, ever. My first car was a 1980 Camaro base model automatic. My father swapped the V6 and stock transmission for a tweaked 350, and a Turbo 400 trans. It was absolutely scary fast. I loved it.
I found a '98 base model coupe, with T-tops and the automatic trans for $159/mo. I signed the papers today. It's dark blue, and I absolutely love it.
I have a few questions about this car.
#1) It has a cassette player, this is unacceptable. I really want to match the interior of the car, and keep it somewhat stock looking. Does anyone have a original 98+ cd deck to buy?
#2) The ashtray lid is busted. Where's the cheapest place to get a replacement?
#3) What's the average gas mileage for this thing, assuming I drive somewhat nicely?
#4) What are the weak points on this car to watch out for?
#5) It has 59,000 miles. Should I use synthetic blend, full synthetic, or regular oil?
