No matter how long you wait, and/or how great of a deal you find, eventually you'll run across a better deal. It never fails. At some point, when you find a good/fair deal on a car you like, you just gotta pull the trigger.

yeah....down here in the south east these cars don't come cheap......when i was looking for my car earlier this year all i kept seeing were 85K+ cars for $10 G's or more.....i ended up getting lucky finding my car 28K for $10,000
to the OP...unless you're in desperate need of a car right NOW....i suggest waiting and continuing to look....my car was originally a FL car....an old lady bought it new in 98 at 51 y/o and finally sold...i picked it up from a dealer in TN who bought it at auction in FL....had a HUGE stack of service records and repairs with it....definately a good find for me....so like i said...hold out if you can until something good comes along...

Agreed. I spent 2 months searching within 100 miles then I gave up and went about 3 months searching within 600 miles. I flew to Chicago and drove it home. It was a 326 mile trip. I am happy with my 01 SS.

All very good advice and reason...as in many cases, my money limit is set in stone, so next go around may be different. I'm going to the owners house tonight. I'll post the results...wish me luck!

Well, didn't get to buy the SS...she just would budge on her price.
No worries!!! Got an even lower mile car for a better deal. A member on this forum btw. This is all the pics I have for now. I'm proud to say im a new (to me) LS1 owner..
98 T/A a4 w/ 104,xxx miles. Lightly modded. Longtubes + full exhaust & a lid. Other than that, looks bone stock!

Very clean, drives straight and smooth and when I push the skinny pedal it moves foward like a rocket! I'm still grinnin ear to ear right now. I'm going to give it a good clay bar/wax and steam clean the interior. No mods for now...although I would like to get a ram air hood lol!
Btw, the pacesetter longtubes & ORY SLP is loud as SH*T!!!
