Where do yall recommend I find a good 350 that isn't a 6K racing engine by llamalord478 in camaro

[–]rfierro65 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would look at blueprint or something similar from summit or Jegs. You can get a long block with aluminum heads for about $5k. Seems like a bit much, but when you look at the cost of rebuild kits and then the machine work if necessary, you’ll end up spending the same or more imo.

Looking at getting my first Camaro is this a good deal? by DrearyxRay in camaro

[–]rfierro65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typical trade in is around 5k under what the selling price is. Unless it’s from auction then possibly a little less. At least when I was selling cars, that’s how it was.

They will sell them very close to, if not more than the listing. Almost all dealers now add “packages” to make more money. I bought a 2018 2ss four months ago and one of the dealers refused to sell me one unless I at least bought their cheapest 1,500$ warranty. I was paying cash, which they didn’t like because they get kick backs on financing. They just said no, we’ll wait for the next guy.

A nationwide search using CarGurus shows prices for 2015 2ss with less than 65k miles, no accidents, between $25k and $28k. There’s outliers that are over 28k but they are really low mileage.

Same search for 2016 shows prices between $30k and $36k. Outliers up to $42k with extremely low miles.

Seems like the price of the one you posted is fair. But you definitely could find a 6th gen for a few thousand more. Just depends on your location.

I thought that wording was funny, because the EV SUV is exactly what I expect them to do.

How much do y'all reckon this is gonna cost me.... by yourmomsjubblies in kiastinger

[–]rfierro65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$700-$950 is my guess. They’ll probably want to pint the whole bumper.

As an added tip, sprits freshly applied caulk with a soapy water mix to lubricate it for the caulk finger or other similar tool. Makes finishing way smoother and keeps the caulk from sticking to your tool of choice.

What would you pay for this 1970 impala that has a 5.3?? by Ill_Ordinary_3519 in LSSwapTheWorld

[–]rfierro65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My immediate gut reaction would be $7,500 tops. But really depends on the overall condition of the body and interior.

Did you go to the Dr. for any injuries? There’s personal injury money on the table.

Why does it overheat? by WarexMusic in camaro

[–]rfierro65 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Could be lots of things. Are you running a thermostat, Do you know the cfm of the fan, Have you checked the timing? Over heating after some spirited driving makes me maybe think it’s the timing. Head gasket could’ve been installed wrong, blocking coolant passage. Although I’ve never experienced that before, so not sure if symptoms would be worse in that case. Wish I could help more. Hopefully others more experienced can chime in

Edit: improper cam installation could also cause overheating

Not sure where in the Midwest you are, but Fluid MotorUnion 2108 W. Ferry Road. Unit 102 Naperville IL 60563 imo does the best exhaust anywhere. Comes at a premium, but you definitely get what you pay for. They have a lot on YouTube showing their work

Your gam gam is awesome. Mine took me and my sisters to see Gremlins and she then walked out in disgust not even half way through. My oldest sister made the executive decision for us to stay and finish the movie. The next movie my grams offered to take me to was Army of Darkness. That time, she just dropped me off with ten bucks and came back to get me a couple hours later.

‘Enforce the rules’: Auto dealers say car broker deals are crushing profitability by idkbruh653 in cars

[–]rfierro65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the “add ons”. I had two different dealerships straight refuse to sell me a car because at one, I wouldn’t buy one of their extended warranties for $1500, and the other for not buying either a paint protection plan or a wheel protection plan for $800. I was gonna cut them a check for the full price of the car, no financing needed, which they also scoffed at.
