Its got 99k...Pretty clean all around...Leather, Chrome ZR1s, Borla, Professional Stereo, $6500... I dunno if its a "steal", but I certainly feel that its in the "good" deal category considering 100k+ Z28s in the area that are not as clean run $5500-$6000 even in low option trim (cloth etc).... Im happy.

Now, how many here told you not to sell because you'd regret it? And why didn't you listen?

LOL Lots of people said not to...but I never seem to learn. THIS time I refuse to let it go...One good reason.... its already getting harder to find clean unmolested LSXs and its not gonna get any easier or cheaper. Most of these cars are pretty close to their bottom value in my opinion...which means they will start being bought up and ratted out pretty quick, just like every other gen. My advice.. if you have a nice one... HOLD ONTO IT!

At the time it was my only vehicle, and I was just tired of breaking things on something I still owed lots on. But now I have another DD and will owe much less on this car, so I will feel the freedom to enjoy it more, if that makes any sense..
