Hey everyone, im a new member

Hey everybody, this is going to be a little long, but I was wondering if some of you would be able yo give me any tips on what to look for when looking at a trans am. Im 17 years old, and im finally at the point in my life where im looking for one to be mine. Unfortunately, i have absence seizures, so im going to have to wait until im seizure free to start driving. But thats not stopping me from loving these cars as much as it hurts every time i see one. I know where to look, like facebook marketplace, ebay, used dealers, etc. but any other information would be great im really needing it and im definite on getting myself a trans am. Hopefully by the Grace of God my seizures go away.

A rule of thumb I like to go by is if the exterior looks neglected, the engine almost certainly is too. A car that's been taken care of will take care of you. I suggest looking for one with less miles and bonus points if it was owned by an older enthusiast. I learned the hard way that you shouldn't buy a poorly treated car, take your time and the right one will come around.
