Default is this a good price?

i was drivin and saw an LS1 z28 drivin with a for sale sign so i pulled up next to him and got his number while ridin....from what i could see it was black,aftermarket cd player,tinted windows,ttops, and some type of exhaust (sounded good not borla though maybe flowmaster) so i called and he said its got just over 87k on the clock....hes askin 9500 for it...now is that a good price???

i know i gotta look at the engine interior etc but generally if its a well kept car is that a decent price? let me know guys

thanks

i wouldnt say better, its personal preference, but i think the m6s go for a little more money.

I guess I would depend on the car.....depending on the actual year the mileage could be high but if it's a clean car and everything seems to be in order then I would say get it if you (or she) likes it.

Gotta go check it out and take it from there. At least, I would try and bump him down to $8500, because of the mileage.

Yeah it definitely sold me. The passenger one only lasted a year and a half though. It has been out since last July, I still haven't replaced it .

No, they aren't expensive. I am just lazy and don't want to do it because it's the passenger's and not mine.
