I don't know much about what LT1's are worth, but to me that sounds too expensive. I probably would only pay half that for that many miles.

I hope thats Pesos or Yen, because that car even with half those miles wouldnt be worth that. Try 5K less, I see auto trader adds like that all the time, people think their used cars are worth gold, because they paid xxx amount in 1995, never factroing in that little thing called depreciation

It was at one of those shitty used car dealers. The "buy here, pay here" crap. They made a dealership out of an old Burger King, so I guess that kind of explains it.

I bought my 93 6spd with 68,000 miles for 10,000 back in 97. Those people are on CRACK trying to sell it at that price.

That is way too much to spend on that car. For thta kind of price you can almost get a ls1. Probably 2k more.

nada low retail on a 94 T/A is $4,800...that is a ripoff. You can get a LS1 98-99 model around here for around $9,000. I can put my hands on a 95 Z28 t top here for about $3,500(but I'm partial to the LS1's...which I'm building up right now)

I bought my 96 Z28 for 6800 with 97k miles on it in Sept 03, but wound up replacing clutch, slave cylinder, intake manifold gasket, starter, and A/C within a short amount of time . A year later, however, I still managed to sell it for $7,500 (putting that in perspective, friend of mine with a 94 Z28 with similar miles and new parts only got $4,500 2 months later). 9k is wayyyy too much IMO.

Maybe if you check in the trunk there will be a brick of weed or bags of crack because those people gotta be smoking something.
