Default Is this a good deal?

Whats up everyone, i just sold my LT1 and am looking to get an LS1.
I wanted to know if you guys think this is a decent deal.
I got him down to $10,600.
99 Camaro Z28 RS-Black w/ chrome 5-spoke rims
71,000 miles
6 SPD
All options car, with black leather interior and t-tops
Clean title, no accidents
bone stock except for a SLP wisper lid and SLP shift ****
the transmission was replaced 3 months ago by a Chevy dealership, but the stock clutch was put back in. I went to see the car and he has reciepts for EVERYTHING! over like $3,000 in reciepts for the new trans. the car is in very good condition, no major scratches/dents/etc. and the interior is perfect.

The only things i can tell that are wrong with the car are:
1. Clutch will need to be replaced soon, it slips a little were your getting on it
2. Pinion seal is leaking (but i know thats a common thing for these cars)

so...you guys think i should go for it?

Sounds pretty good. I got my '00 Z28 A4 with 60k miles about a year and a half ago for 10.5k, so it's not a bad deal.

Go get her.

Z28 RS? I'm confused. I thought the RS was a 6 cyl. Anyways, sounds like a fair deal (assuming it's an LS1).

Sounds like a good deal, jump on it and grab a ZO6 clutch, and updated hydraulics, and you'll be good to go

It's a Z28 with a RS body kit and spoiler, and they look really nice.

For an M6 with the RS body kit and leather interior, that's a pretty decent price... buy buy buy!
