Default hopefully ill have another LS1

well today i think i found a deal... a bone stock white 01 z28 w/ 69k on the dial... power everything good interior and adult driven (2 owners.. current owner bought it at 17,000 miles)....

there is some damage to the front bumper cover and pass. side fender.. his wife was backing out of a parking space and cut the wheel a little to soon, but no damage to anything but the cosmetics... ive reaplaced both those peices before on my 94 z28 so its not really a big deal...

he wants 6500 but i think i can get it for less since cash talks

let me know what u think...

ill post up some pics tomorrow

Sounds too good to be true. I'd check the VIN out with the DMV and maybe the local police department. Can't hurt to be sure...

Sounds like you may have found a really good deal. If I had that deal staring me in the face, and I could not turn up any dirt on the car, I would consider buying it and selling my current car. Keep us updated.

well here are some pics.. the guy says its an 01 but the mirrors are black (should be body color on an 01)... but they look like somebody painted them because the paint is all faded and hagard on the mirrors, they also paintd the "camaro" in the back black and that is chipping to (not worried about paint.. i got a hook up)


can i tell the year by the vin?? i searched but didnt fing anything...

the vin # is 2G1FP22G112105747

Im meeting the guy tomorrow to check out the engine and take it for a spin (he works every day but has tomorrow off for thanksgiving)







here is the damage


needs a new corner lense (i would replace them with clear or smoked anyways)
headlights are yellowed (no biggie ill clear them right up when i do the whistler mod)
wheels are in good shape but tires are bald all the way around (i have a set of 02ss wheels with brand new rubber on them or ill just pick some up from tomzwheels)
obviously the fender and bumper cover... hood is fine


let me know what ya think
