Thinking about buying this SS. Someone is selling an 01 SS near me. Car is 6 speed with 108k for $8900. The owner said it only has a CEL for an O2 sensor but other than that the car is pretty much fine. Owner is female.
Opinions? Thoughts?

I say jump on it. Seems like a good deal if the car's in decent shape. To get rid of that CEL, you could always put in some long tubes with new Bosch corvette plugs, and delete the rear 02's.. Kill two birds with one stone.
Oh, and is it stock? If not, what's been done?

I don't know man... I bought the car in my sig (minus the wheels/tires, shock tower brace, GMMG's) for $14,000. 50,000 miles. The body and interior are showroom perfect.
I would think that the car is worth around 6-7k. Especially higher miles. Unless the body is mint, and I mean MINT -- I do not think its worth it.
The CEL would most certainly be tripped by the fouled O2 sensor. But +1 for having the thing properly diagnosed.

Yeah, I'm gonna try for 8 most likely and go for there. The car looks clean in the pictures but I still need to see it in person obviously.
Thanks for all your input.

good lord, at these prices, i will be able to buy another high mileage f body in a few years for 5 grand!!! i could care less about the miles on these cars, if it isnt far over 100K, and it has been taken care of. my car has 105k on it, and it runs like an absolute top! Doesnt burn a drop of oil or anything. Hell, if 8900 is too much for a 01 SS with 108K, then 5 grand in a couple years will be easy to get a 100K f body for! Sweet ****!!!!
