Looking at a T/A, help me out! As many of you know i have been looking for an LS1 for awhile now, close to 7 months. I found one that is in my price range, and close enought that i can take a look at it. Here is the link http://www.autotrader.com/dealers/id...r_id=187743740
My question is, what should i look for when i go to check it out? It would really help if i could get like a procedure for what to look for and what to check.
Thanks in advnace for any help guys!!

wow that is a cheap price on a formula. carfax is a must. with people like texastoys.com out there you got to watch your back. open both doors. make sure they both shut properly. not rubbing anywhere when you shut them. also sit in it and have the AC runnin for a while. if the will let you. make sure you dont have a puddle of H20 to start forming from a bad heater core or a defect of that maner. not sure what else off top of my head. but it is a start.

doah, damn me for fast reading. all I read was pontiac formula.haha
but yeah if they are sellin it they should fix the tranny. but I would stay away from that one. if the tranny is bad, then who knows how the person(s) treated the car before the got it.

It is a clean lookin car from the pics but im not a big fan about the milage its got on it. But for the price I guess its a reasonable deal except for the tranny issue.
If it was me, I would talk to them and if they are willing to fix the tranny, I'd go ahead and get it.
