Bleh, not with the V6
I'd go with the BMW myself. The only problems you might run in to are rediculously expensive repairs.

Well in my country (I live in Iraq) I have problems with each car I get , Even with my GA.

With the BMW , I got the very expensive parts and repair costs , With the Camaro I got a problem of No parts , Not too many camaros are available here so there's not too much parts for them in the market so I have to take good care of the car so it won't require many parts and repairs , And for the supra it got no problems but with body parts , They are not available at all here , But engine parts are available , That's why i'm confused.

How much cash can you spend? I would probably go with the Camaro... but i've seen ones with v8's that really arnt very expensive. But if its more of a safety procaution to have the v6... have at it. What are the numbers on the 3.4 v6 in those? The same as ours? Or better?

so this is in addition to your GA? if so, do you really need a second car? i would consider just saving longer for something newer. and if you need another car and those are your choices, go with the one that is less abused with less miles. toyota's and the BMW would probably outlast the camaro for sure

I'd sell the GA and get one newer car that won't give you problems, those are all crap as far as I'm concerned. But of the 3 I'd get the Camaro.

o2andahalfgt <--- Of course they sell such cars in Iraq and much more , I used to own a Ford Challenger Magnum but it was werecked.

About the car , I need a second car because my GA is a very clean one , it has 46,000 on it's mileage , I need a second car to do my daily stuff , I want to keep the GA as clean as it is.

I think i'll go with the Camaro , It's the best one in look and parts prices.

And it's engine is a standard GM 3.4L V6 engine , And about the V8 engine I think it's the LS-1 5.7L V8 , I don't need to be dead by having that kind of engine , Also that engine parts are too expensive in Iraq.

1. no. Expensive maintenance and repair.

2. 3.4V6 Camaro should have never been built.

3. Best of the bunch, but in all honesty none of the above, if I HAD to buy 1 of the 3 it would be #3!

I think I had enough , Today I bought a Camaro 1997 Convertable 5.7L LS1 engine With M6 Transmission, It's a Black one , I drived this car , And I don't think i'll find any car that's sweeter than this one! , I think the GA is gonna be dead , I'll use the GA more that i'll use the camaro cause it's newer than the GA..heh , Thanks for your opinions guys.
