how many miles is too many miles? well im currently looking at a 2001 camaro ss @ 126,970 miles for $13k
an 01 T/A ws6 @ 41,000 miles for $14k and a 2000 z28 @ 22,000 miles for $10,500. so im wondering how many miles is too many for these cars, my plans are to do full exhaust, lid, UD pulleys and maybe a cam (if it doesnt affect the mpg and dd aspect much)
here are the links let me know what you all think

the 01 is def. over priced. i would prob go for the 01 ws6 and offer then 12.5 for it
well now that i look at it, the ws6 has spray on it, so you know its had the **** beaten out of it. the som SS looks like a pretty nice car, just a lot of miles. the z28 doesnt look too bad. but for what its worth, i picked up my 00z28 in 04 w/ 35k on it for 12,900 in mint condition

I think the SS has a bit to many miles for the price. All 3 of the cars listed are pretty clean looking so they have that going for them. The ws6 is listed as having nitrous along with a few other performance parts so you can assume it's been raced, if its been raced you'll have to drive it more than the others to make sure it's still in good shape. The price of the 2000 z28 seems to be the best deal to me, being as it has very low milege. Lose the wheels it and it'll be a nice ride. Like i said, if it were me i'd pursue the 2000 z28, only because the price on the ss is to high for the milege, and the ws6 has nitrous which can sometimes cause excessive engine wear.

That Z for sure...that thing is clean !
I personally im not a pewter fan, but those wheels look good on it...low miles...only a couple mods and its in florida so you know its not rusted out.
GO BUY THE Z28 !

Like them or not...if those are euro-style taillights on that WS6...those are really really rare..and may be worth some money. Seems like I read (4 years ago) something on those taillights only having a very small number made.
Then again, I can't really see them that well in the pic.

yeah it's between the vette and the Z. only thing that would hold me back is that the vette got 96k miles on it compared to the 22 on the Z. how do the vette's hold up at higher miles?
