I wouldn't pay more than $12k tops for it, and that's on the high end.
There could still be damage that was not reported to an insurance co which would not show up on a carfax.
5 owners in 7 years tells you something too. That's around one owner every year and a half.

Well - I don't think that's what he said........but, either way, you don't need anyone's permission to run a CARFAX on any vehicle.
To the OP - maybe you could take it to a mechanic's shop and look at it up on the hoist. That might give you more peace of mind, or it might keep you from making at 15K mistake. Good luck!

I'm the "5th" owner of my car. One before me was a private collector who put 43 miles on it. Original owner was a pontiac exec who put 17k on it in 5 years... Another guy who owned it moved from michigan to ohio and the re-registration counts as an owner I suppose. # of owners means nothing (to me). The cars condition speaks for its self.
Nice purchase man, welcome to the community.

Haha, hey at least I admit my mistake. I could have just deleted my post, but I don't do that.
By that same token, if you read your OWN thread, you could have taken some good advice, saved some more cash (now and in the future), avoided potential problems, among other things.
But that's neither here nor there, you're happy with your car, that's what counts.

I think 14k is a great price. I paid 10k for my 87k mls, pewter T/A and i'm the 3rd owner.. Yeah I know I could have found a waaaay better deal.

You guys act like because someone is asking $10k for their car, they will get it.
The amount the car was sold for determines it's worth.

Im well aware of car buying 101 lol. And people are getting 10k for higher mileage ls1's! You see it all the time, so it must make them worth that since people are buying them at that price lol.
