Pretty difficult to make an intelligent guess when you have told us nothing about your car. Mileage? Condition? How can we know if it is a good trade?
The seller's price is insane unless Canadian pricing is that much higher than in the U.S. An LT1 car with over 100,000 miles won't bring you $5,000 in most instances and yet he wants triple that price! I guess he wants someone to pay for all his mods. Sorry, it doesn't work that way. Unless your car is in poor shape with high mileage I wouldn't even consider it. Also, describing a 100,000+ miles car as MINT is also quite a stretch. There are very few owners that have MINT 100,000 miles cars. I've seen a few, and maybe he is one of those few, but somehow I doubt it with all those mods.

thanks that is good to know, like i said i do not have any knowledge of this platform. to describe my vehicle iv got 140,000 miles,prev owner said he had replaced the engine with a lower km one, but he had no proof so i didnt go off of that. axles need replacing, my mods list is in my sig. im just waiting for the day my tranny explodes and then ill have to put 4g's into it. other then that there not too much wrong with mine
