I am looking into buying an LS1. I have found a 99 pewter camaro with a 6 speed, ttops, stock stereo system and aftermarket 10 disc changer, 1LE suspension upgrades, SLP air lid, K&N drop in filter, and 107,000 miles. The owner is the third owner of the car and is trying to get $6,750 for the car. I plan to do some work on the car, such as full exhaust, possibly cam and heads, and probably a 100 shot of nitrous. I am new to the platform and am wondering if the car will be worth buying or if I should look for one with lower miles. Thanks!

That's so crazy! I'm looking at buying an M6 T/A with 107k miles on it. It's at a dealership so they're asking $9k. You've got a steal on your hands there bud!

Does anyone think that I could talk this dealer down to 7.9k or 8k and would that be a reasonable deal?

the worst they can say is no. I called up a shitty dealer that had a 99 gtp. it had 100k on it and the place was asking 8k. I offered 5k, the guy first laughed at me, i then said cash, he stopped laughing and asked me to come take it for a drive. This place was obviously trying to rip someone off, but if your paying cash, they liek that.

I'm just curious to know if it's a good idea to buy a TransAm with 100+k miles on it. My parents really dislike the idea of anything 2005 and older or anything with over 50k miles.

Sounds like a good deal. I have a 98 A/T Z28 that just hit 62k for 8500, but I'd prefer a 6 speed even with the higher miles.

well if your going to let your parents make your decision for you..its your money(i'm assuming cause even though i live with my rents cause i'm 22, my finance, they have no say in) i'm assuming. Do waht you want, if your asking if the car will have problems, who knows, each car si different, all i know is i bought a 2004 nissian sentra spec v new because my rents disliked the idea of getting somethign with miles on it..the tranny was pretty much gone at 8k. So, every car has problems. the difference between 50k-100k can be light years..or nothing. Liek i said in my previous post, if everything checks out all righta nd the car is in good condition..its a hell of a price.

i bought my car with 104k miles on it and im already modding it so i say theres absolutely no prob in buying a higher mileage LS1.

LS1 will run a long time if taken care of--the other parts tho you might wanna look at, like the tranny an clutch-i'd run it hard a few times an row thru the gears, you'll find out pretty quick if the shift forks are bent or if it needs a new clutch, an if thats the stock clutch it probably needs it anyway
