How many miles does it have on it?

For 6500 I would imagine quite a few

Good luck with it.

Yeah it does indeed of high miles 130,000 but it runs good and has not been ragged it has service records the girl that owned it took good care of it. i have a 3 month warenty if anything does go wrong in the next three months.The mileage did concern me but it in such good shape i couldnt turn it down. How well do you think a 130,000 mile ls1 will hold up , hopefull fine. I think its better old v6 any day.

if it hasnt been beat on, and all the regular maintainence (fluid changes and such) has been done to it it will last a looong time.. the way i look at it is, any car will last a really long time (cept a ford) as long as you take good care of it!
