Default 330,000 miles?

i found a 99 z28 6spd ttop car with 330,000 miles in 'good' condition for 4000. I drove it and it runs good, no engine noise, tranny just got rebuilt, rear leaks but im getting a 9" off the top. seats are TRASHED but the carpet/dash are in good condition, the AC/heat work, it need window motors, its got a new powersteering pump and alternator, suspention and breaks feel REAL good for 330000 miles! i have $4000 worth of suspentions components sitting from my last fbody+seats and exhaust.

Is it worth it? im thinking $3500

Where is it? If you don't want, I think I might.
I think it's worth it, an LS1 plus a whole car for 4 grand?

Damn, that's a lot of miles though!

Holy ****, my buddy has 120K on his LS1 and I thought that was a lot. What did he do, drive around the world 10 times?

$3000 would be a good price for a good body though, if nothing else. Then you could throw a new engine in it if that one dies without feeling bad about it...

Well its all how well take care of your car. If you change your oil/filters/fluids monthly I would think your car will last forever.

get it and with the extra money you save, rebuild the motor, or put something else in it and sell the other one if it is still in good shape.

if you have plans on rebuilding it, definetly go for it, if you wanna make it into a daily, then no probably not.
