Arrow Found a great looking Camaro. Any advice?

Totaled my Impala so I'm searching for another Chevy and find a Camaro Coupe, 3.8L V6 5spd manual. 98,000 miles for $4,995. Car is in great condition, interior well taken care of, no mechanical problems, overall the car drives and looks awesome. I have a few questions and was hoping you guys could help me out. Are the motors and the trannys reliable in these and if there are problems, are they minor. Can you expect to get 200,000 on these with normal driving. Is this a good deal? Anyways, any help on these Camaros you can provide is greatly appreciated. Best wishes!

Brendan

I had two I was interested in but the Camaro I originally posted about was sold. This is the one I'm seriously considering buying as I've been in negotiations with the seller. 1999 Camaro Coupe, 3.8L V6 MPI OHV 12V, 4spd Automatic. 113,000 miles for $4700. Motor runs great, tranny shifts smooth, Interior is flawless! Here are pics,

Nice looking car As for the V6 I have heard they run good and it depends on how the original owner took care of it to tell how long it will run. If it had good care and you do not beat on iit you should have no problem getting 200,000 out of it.
