Default Help me find an F-body

Hey guys Im lookin to purchase an Ls1 here in the next couple of weeks only problem is finding one that fits within my banks criteria. I need to find somethin 00-02 with about 85K or less miles. And I only got around $7500 to play with. I want it to be in good clean condition and not beat all to hell. HELP ME FIND ONE!!!!! Let me know if yall know of anything, I live in Waco.

Thanks

Search craigslist, they come up. But you have to act quick because the good deals go fast since its hard to find a good deal. Chances are when you find one its either WAY to pricey or the mileage is just way to high or its been modded a lot (unless thats okay with you).


It took me 2-3 months of waiting to find mine, I wanted stock and under 90k...found it and love every bit of it. So its worth the wait.

Same here, didn't really want red but I love my car and got lucky and found a 12 bolt under neath.

I have a nice SS with 88k miles, I could work with you a little bit on the price.

I thought it was a good deal too so I called him, its a rebuilt/salvage car so the bank doesnt want anything to do with it, and I have been scouring craigslist and autrotrader day and night all the way to Oklahoma and Louisiana.

Already talked to this guy too. problem is my bank is wanting the owner of the car to bring it to the bank so they can inspect it and turn the check over to him in person. This guy wasnt willing to do that.

Thats the problem guys I have already scoured all of craigslist and autotrader and weeded out all of these deals. Thats y I am turning to yall to see if anyone knows of a buddy selling one or somethin thats not listed.

Maybe you should try another bank. There is another possibility too... Probably even better than a bank. Bite the bullet and save up for another year or two and pay CASH!!! If you cant do that then you cant afford the payment on it anyways.

I have thought of going to another bank but I am a big fan of loyalty as stupid as that sounds so im going to stick with them, and affording it is not an issue actually this will be a second vehicle to play with on the weekends, so im actually swingin two notes.

I dont think you got my point buddy. The point was not to have notes. Not how many notes you can swing. If you have the money pay one car off before getting another. Then you will have more money for parts!!!
