Holy **** $15,000??!?!?! I just bought my 2002 Z28 with 33K on it and all the goodies running 10's for $13,900! No offense but that cars not worth $15K with a good motor! I'd say maybe $6K.

Yeah, I'm thinking 15k is WAY high. Probably more like 6-8k.

I would say 5 to 6k, You got to remember the rest or the car car has 130xxx too. The engine might not be the only thing on it's way out.

OK, I was asking 6K just wanted to make sure I'm in the ballpark.

It was a very reliable car, 50K on new clutch (not so new I guess!), emissions were excellent, etc etc etc

I only took the car to the track twice. I've done a few donuts, but that's about it. Mostly fwy mileage and getting on it from stop lights.

Holy **** I was hoping you were freakin joking..

That car isnt even worth $6,000.. You can find running 98 LS1 6-spd Z's all day for $6500.. My friend is selling a 98 Formula with 120k on it for $6,000 right now..
