Default Good deal or bad deal

Hello guys, just wanted to know if you guys could help me choose my first ls1. This is the car im looking at and i wanted to know if this is a good car it has alot of mods and thats what scares me about buying the car but i do like all the mods to be honest they were done good. And i also wanted to know if you guys think that it has too miles for the price. I talked him down to 5k from 6k. Thank you guys advance. http://miami.craigslist.org/brw/cto/2570929302.html

Sounds good to me also, Carfax it, to make sure that hood wasn't put on after it was wrecked.

Looks like a pretty clean car. As long as it drives smooth, I would jump on it.

If he needs the cash because he had a baby why would he want to trade for a truck... That's the only thing I would wonder about.

As long as it runs fine- id get it quick! Nice ride for 5k. I would assume its a pretty small cam since it doesnt have a stall. My fathers auto ws6 has the same mods and a small cam and has the same hp as this one. Buy it- then post us some pics of its 1st burnout! jk-
