Default Help deciding on car.

So I want to get back into an LS1 car and I have some options.

I found.

01 Z28 M6 silver 110K.. bunch of paint damage everywhere... 5,400$ is what he is asking. I already checked it out, motor is solid, just little stuff needs attention... and a heck of a paint job & body work.

01 SS M6 silver 169K.. much better condition, few aftermarket things (lid, bushings, etc.). paint is not perfect but better than above one... 7,800$ is what he is asking.

99 SS M6 silver 70k... much better condition... it's at a dealership which makes buying it easier but pricier, however with a dealership it's easier for me to talk them down because they most likely know nothing about the car.... 8,900$ asking price.

I would go with your third choice if I were you....i tend to definitly stray away from higher mileage cars, but I dont know what your budget is and what you are willing to spend but the 99' seems to be the best.


Shouldn't have sold your previous car IMO .

i would go with the 3rd one, lower mileage and you can probably get the dealership to drop the price on it some.

Yes definitely go with the dealership SS. You can budge them down a little on price. Also, high mileage is a definite stay away from. Never know what all its been through.

I think I have seen that silver 99 Silver SS you are talking about.

I am in Tucson, and I am very interested in that car too, but unfortunately will not be able to get it until November or December. I'd go with that SS, everything else has way too many miles and the prices are outrageous.
