Thank you to the many members that helped me out here. Thank you to the forum as I made a good friend of mine off of here. (Pos95Z28) AKA Pete. Last month or so my Z28 started giving up the ghost. With security light issues continuing. Power windows quit working, my A/C was a disaster and was going to cost 1500-2000$ to fix it was time to say bye to her. I pulled up into the dealership drenched in sweat, no windows no A/C on a 100* day. Walked up to the salesman and said put me in a grocery getter, do not let me even look at a muscle car. I ended up on a 2010 Ford Focus SES with complete options. Heated and cooled leather seats, moon and toon, heated mirrors. Its not fast by any means (Threw down a fast 16.1 lol) but shes reliable and gets AWESOME gas mileage. It will be my daily crusier for awhile. Again thank you for everything, y'all were great.
Heres a shot if requested I will post more.

You don't have to leave. But that's a good looking car for what it is.

Popo, that is my true goal one day is to own another toy, Mustang or Camaro I don't know. I like both probably will come down to the better deal at the time.
Thank you for the positive comments. Heres a few more pictures. I got a hell of deal on it I paid 8700 for it, it had 56000 miles.
Last picture of the Camaro I took:

I got the rims for free, although I probably will be trading them for a set of 17" Ford Racing Rally wheels.

Yeah, that thing is crazy heavy. Although it wasn't in when I ran. I did race against a Scion FR-S and barely lost. They are not fast at all. The guy driving it told me his better times are 15.3-15.5.
Honestly I only ran it for shits and giggles. I might have floored the car three time since I've owned it.
The best part, still rocking a stock exhaust. lol

This will be my college/roadtrip/beach/visting parents car.
Ive been looking at a few camaros here and there but theres some stuff I want to finish with this first. Such as a 1" drop, and get a double din in-dash screen. After that I think I will be done. Currently I have 10% on all the sides, 25% full windshield tint (FAVORITE MOD), audio, recaro leather seats, and the Motegi MR116's

3500, not having A/C killed my value, I should of picked a cooler day. It was 104* the day I let her go. They did let me roast a few burnouts before I handed over the keys. I can honestly say I would recommend this dealership to anyone. They handled there stuff very well, fast and efficent. They didn't harass me or any of that kind of stuff. I gave him a budget, told him what I wanted and he just showed me the cars is all. Never tried to sell anything to me other then " This is a pretty nice car here, I got this one down here just a different color" It was an auto mall with 5 different lots on it and every lot I went to I was treated with the same respect. With my Dad being a car salesman for many moons he looked over all the paper work and really felt the deal was a good one. He even said most of their cars are very fair priced.

I haggeled price first then did trade in too. So I couldn't complain. I was going to trade the car for either a Procharged Fox or a 88 RX-7 Twin Turbo, but wiser heads prevailed and ended up getting the "smart" decision. I honestly kick my-self in the ass for not thinking of the Cobolt SS, but whats buying a car with out buyers remorse.
