I doubt it is "doubled," if someone offered me a 99 trans am regardless of miles for 3500 I would buy it on the spot.

holy mileage batman......I will say though it appears to be very clean for the miles. The seats don't even show signs of wear.

Which makes me think there is a misprint on the mileage. Nobody would buy a stock LS1 with 242k for $7000.

BTW, my mechanic friend has a 1994 Z28 with 473,000 miles on it. Body/paint/interior are nice, although the teal color is pretty barftastic. Its his driver, bought it with a bad motor for $500. Has a built LT1 in it with a M6, damn thing runs mid 11's. Claims he's spent less than 4k on the whole car.

the price is a little high, but they think they can sell it at that price because it's clean, can't blame them for that.

it is a WS6 with 3.23's you can see by RPO's nice car but i bet that's a misprint. I'd say maybe 143k miles is closer to it but who knows. I'd offer him $4k and that's it with those miles JUST because it's a WS6~Cole~

that's actually right about in line with what www.kbb.com has listed for the Private Party value for one in "Fair" condition, just a couple hundred higher

i was just guessing on the zip code with "28201", based on the 704 area code listed (Charlotte, NC).

and that's based on 243,000 miles

still doesn't mean you can't lowball them a bit, tho.....

that is 36,000+ miles per year since 1994. How the hell can someone drive that much?

I think the mileage is right. I do believe the driver's bolster is torn...look in the shadow just above the really bright spot...and look how worn the radio controls are on the steering wheel. Does look damn good for the mileage though. The car's about 20 min. from my house but I have not seen it. I used to go by that lot on the way home from work but I have since moved.

Mine weren't, at 160k they still looked perfect. Didn't light up anymore though. Not many people use the seek button that much, so the mileage may be right, if he was driving alot he may have used the seek button a ton to find stations in areas he didn't know. Just a guess tho.

I wouldn't pay more than $3k for that car, even if it is worth more. It would be fun to play with at that price.

If it has the stock CD changer the seek button skips to the next track. I use that a lot

Yea, mine died at about 140k though, or at least skipped like crazy. They may just be equally as worn and he just bought a new volume side because it broke or something .

I can believe it's true....I have 140,000 and it runs strong and honestly have never had anything go wrong with it engine wise. My buddy's lt1's with over 300,000 is still kickin and runs great still.
