I am looking at a 1995 LT1 A4 Camaro convertible with 66k miles on the clock. The dealer is asking $11,900 for it but I am going to try and get it below $10,000. The car seems very clean, was traded in for a new truck.
Questions:
1) What is a fair price for the car?

2) I will be using this as a daily driver (mostly highway miles), and wondering how dependable the motor and car is? Will put about 16k miles a year on it and dont plan on modding it.

3)I found a 2000 camaro ls1 for about 12k with 65k miles. Would this be a better choice? I actually like the way the 1995 model looks but more concerned with reliability. Is LT1 just as reliable as LS1


--Thanks..

Id go with the LS1.....Faster, plus the LT1 sounds a little High IMO....

Also, You dont have to worry about the Optispark with an LS1

Look like I will be getting a 2002 A4 LS1 I found today for $17,300 with 28,500 miles, eibach springs and upgraded stereo system. Buying it from a dealer that I have bought from before. Pretty decent deal I think.

Sorry man, but you're wrong on that one. Iron blocks sound lower, deeper, and growl. Aluminum blocks sound more high pitched, and they scream. Both sound awesome in their own way, but LT1s sound more low-pitched almost every time. Download the vid of my car if you want, and check out the exhaust.

yeah the sound difference between an ls1 and lt1 is night and day different. Lt1's have alot more rumble while ls1's are raspy higher pitched, has to do with materials and fireing order. Have QTP LT's with off road y and borla and it gets pretty raspy down low. It sounds like a damn dragster at full throttle up top though. Lt1's just overall sound the best it's a known fact in f-bodies. Damn if you wanted an ls1 i was selling mine for 18,500 with TTII's and about 4 grand in mods along with fully optioned.

I may be wrong, but when he said the LT1 "sounds high", I think he meant the price? That's how I read it anyway.

Afterall, everyone knows the LT1 > LS1 in the sound department!

I read it as 'priced high' too. Yeah, 12k for a 95 is HIGH. I paid just slightly more than that for my '98... Almost three years ago.

An 95 with 66k should probably be closer to $8k. Of course, dealer's tryin' to turn a fast buck. The longer it sits on the lot, the lower the price.

Ahh... you guys are right. I took it literally

12k is definitely too high for any LT1 F-Body unless its got <20k miles on it

i paid 6000...high miles...but came with over 2000 grand in extras...as for "reliability" i think both are great...but ever car can have its day...my sis has more prob with her 02 ram air than I do with my 93 z...but every one is different.

i'm selling my supercharged LT1 if you want it... i'll give you a better price than both those cars
