Default Question about this purchase...

Hi everyone, just want to know what people think about this car that I am 90% sure I will be buying in a couple of days. Here is the link, please tell me your thoughts, good or bad. I'm definitely not super experienced with cars, specs, and that, but I'm really looking to start learning about everything, so anything helps! Thanks

That car looks familiar. The previous owner may have been a member here, I believe.

Anyway, looks like it's in nice shape, but all I can say is, beware of transmission problems, because even though it may not be showing symptoms of problems now, it's no guarantee that it won't in the future. If you do buy this car, I would suggest putting aside $3500 or so for a TEP transmission in the event that you have a problem.

^^ Best advice. Although mine hasn't gone out *knock on wood* I have accepted the fact that I may need to rebuild one some day

Looks like a nice car with tasteful mods at a good price.

I got a chuckle out of FWD LS3 though. Love those 5.3 Corvettes and Camaros.
