His car:

My car:

1995 Z28 Hardtop
A4
140k but runs like brand new
Red with Black top (paint 1 year old)
Tan cloth interior
Magnaflow catback
Cat delete
160 thermo
brand new opti and radiator hoses
2 10" Bazzoka subs in ported and custom stitched box/amp built right into it
Sony Xplode deck with iPod hookup cable
tinted windows


now for the bad:
mileage is kinda up there but it really doesnt show
notorious driver seat bolster rip
also notorious cracked dash, but i do have dash mat in place so you dont notice it at all

OPINIONS NEEDED NOT WANTED

180K Miles? And he wants $7500? That's REALLY steep on his part. JMHO - I would look for something w/ a lot less miles.

that car looks pretty sorry man...i wouldn't buy it. why not just do H/I/C on your LT1?? An automatic LS1 with TVs and subwoofers sounds pretty...slow and ricey....no offense.

i understand where you guys are comming from, but I really want an LS1 and I would make it non ricey, squale iii I dont wanna do H/I/C on my car unless I was to get a new motor. If i got an LS1 I would feel better about putting the money into it, especially a T.A

I wish i waited when i got my 01. Paid 10k for it with 43k miles with lid and cutout. Not the best deal.

I wish I had gotten the deal some of you guys got, I bought my 2000 in August of 03' when prices were still high. I paid $13,300 out the door for the car with 24K miles. Now I see low mile cars for less than $10K.

To the OP, If you buy a car with 180K miles, treat it nice until you can afford a rebuild/low mile engine/transmission. Otherwise you're going to have a rather exspensive lawn ordament.

I would say wait on it. I just picked up a 00' SS with 100,000 miles today for $5000. Car just needs a nice power buff, and some new upholstery

ok guys, thanks for the opinions, i dont know how much he wants on top but I cant and wont do alot with that kind of mileage, my car is really clean and even though I've had small problems, for 140k I havnt seen a nicer LT1, depending on how much extra he wants I might just let it go
