Default Looking to purchase new ls1 HELP!!!

i hope this is the right forum, i apologize if it isnt

i own an 04 c5 which i unfortunately have to sell, gettin a little pricey with all my bills

im lookin to pick up a 99 z28 i found and i was wondering if you guys could answer some questions for me

i dont know too much of a difference between the years of the f bodys, as in is a 00 better than a 99? etc

also i found a clean 99 with 87k miles on it for 7,800. stock with intake and catback auto.

is it a good price?

7800 sounds like a fair price. Any pics of it? what intake and exhaust?

Very clean looking car. Would love to see a pic of the motor but other than that, good deal.

98+99 are a little bit more of PITA to work around the motor. 00 had the biggest cam. but really it wouldn't make that much of a difference on a car like this. Good find.

That looks like a nice deal. Plus, it's Artic White which makes it even better Only thing to do now is to drive it. Listen for knocking/ticking, make sure the transmission shifts okay, listen for the rear end to make any whining noises.

Did anyone else notice the shift ****? I thought that only the Trans Ams had that style ****. When mine was an auto, I had the **** with the button on top.

Thats a clean z28 for sure ask them for engine bay pics check for any type of trans/rear end or main seal leaks. but overall i think its a great looking car at good price too.
