Mileage over 100k makes me nervous even if the car was meticulously maintained. Things start to break no matter what you do, and the last thing anyone wants is a money pit for a car with over 100k. On the bright side, many of these well-maintained Ls1 engines can last up to 200k miles as described several times on these boards. I would like to see the price of that car closer to $6,500 which would allow you some leeway for repairs. Paying the full $7,500 could get you up into the $9,000 range in no time for whatever repair might be needed (clutch, brakes, anything). You can buy a much lower mileage well cared for example for $9,000 - $10,000. A much better value and car. Something to think about and of course your financial situation. Be careful and make sure the car has been maintained well. That is a lot of $$ for an 11 year old car with that mileage no matter what any price guide says. Still many questions to ask because each car is so different. Who were the owners? Did a 16 year old bang the gears for the past 10k miles? or was it a well maintained highway miles car most of it's life? You see how it can vary. Good luck!
