Help me decide Guys, how is everyone? Its been a long time since I posted (or had a reason to post). I've owned 5 LS1 F-bodies, a 01 Z06 Vette and various Mustangs over the years. I'm in the market to buy myself another toy. This will be a weekend car only because I have a company truck I drive all week. I need help picking between an LS1 and LT1. I only have about $10,000 to spend because we bought my wife a new Maxima last weekend. I've found two cars close to me that I like pretty good and I wanted to ask you guys opinion. http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...gIndex=1&Log=0 http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...gIndex=3&Log=0 I realize the WS6 is above 10 grand but it looks like a nice car and I might be willing to give the extra for it. Come on guys which one makes better since for a weekend toy? TIA.

An insane price on that '96 SS. 
Way too many miles. I wouldn't touch it for anything close to what they want. That's a $5,000 car on a good day and I don't care who owned it or the history.
The WS6 has a dealer price but seems decent and a one owner status which is always a plus. If you could get that LS1 car for $10,000 that might be the way to go. Just remember that even with weekend driving the odometer will hit that 6 figure mark where the appeal will lessen for others if you need to sell. I don't recommend these cars for anything over $8,000 once they hit 100,000 miles. Things just start to break and you don't want too much invested in it. I'd like to see you expand your search and keep looking unless you can reach a deal on the WS6. Best of luck!!

Go LS1, the price for the 96 is very high. LT's aren't bad, but the aftermarket for the LS series is huge, gives you alot more options if you decided to mod in the future. Good luck!

I thought the same at first, how it was possible to sell a 2013 Camaro so cheap at 20 grand, but you can see for yourself the new Camaros are being sold at manufacturer´s prices and they are far cheaper than wholesale price.
I am going to buy it on finance they offered me zero percent interest car loan and payments are only $250 a month. I can´t refuse that offer. I found the cheap Camaros on topgearautoblog.com basically how it was explained to me they eliminate the dealership overhead costs and commissions. Its a good deal cause you still get the warranty.

Ws6
Also, think some of those prices are insane? There's a dealership here selling a '98 WS6 with 120k miles for $11k
