Have a few basic Q's...
 
I might be buyin a 99 Camaro SS with 30,000miles and the only Q I really have is what should I look for in the car as in defects, part failures, and future problems ect...

I've read alot about the LS1 and hear how its a very strong engine and should have a good build quality, I will of course be doin some mods 2 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> .

The same stuff you would look for with any used car. Get it on a lift, that reveals many things, leaks, wrecks etc.

If you get the VIN # we can run a Carfax for it in the Vehicle Classifieds and Carfax section <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Yep I did a VIN check and everything came out perfect except for the fact that the first title was a commercial title from 0-14,000miles. Then after that it went to private title. I asked the guy about this and he said his cuz (the owner of the car) has a autoyard in Indiana and when he bought the car put it as a business car so the insurance would be cheep. I've talked to this guy over 10 times and every once in a while I ask who the previous owner was and he says its my cuz's car and he asked if I could put it on the lot to sell (its a very small dealership). So I kind of belive him about the title story... but still makes me wonder.
