My DD SS has 166k on it and counting... my vert has 206k and when the heads were off still had corss hatches in the cyl walls

 

Bought mine for $5000 w/141k miles in 2007. The car now has 192k, and runs great.

I did have to replace the transmission at 180k (5th gear synchro), and just replaced the steering rack, bushings, etc.

I wouldn't be worried about the motor though.

 

if its a A4 change the trans fluid,and rear end lube.

 

any pics?

 

I bought mine with 100k exactly on it and ive recently had to replace a bad ac idler pulley that was squeaking like a bitch other than that it runs as good as new

 

I got my 98TA with 150k and a salvaged tittle and no issues, even had stock plugs lmfao! knock on wood shes good to me so far.

 

Depends on what goes wrong, but LS1's are STRONG motors if taken care of. I had a 97 go 269,783 miles before destroying the bearings and gasket. Decided at that point the car had too many miles to even rebuild so moved on. Sounds like a good deal depending on condition, I just bought a 99 WS6 with 105,600 for 8200

Good luck on the sale and keep us posted

 

I bought my 01' z28 online for $3500 from a guy in Chicago, IL with 256,xxx miles on it and drove it 10 hours home to North Carolina. I Drove it every day for 2 years and never had a problem with it. Probably one of the best driving ls1 cars ive had. It ran strong, and the guy i sold it to did a Ms3 cam and a 4000stall in it and still drives it everyday. Dont be scared! Buy it and drive the **** out of it!

 

i'm a bit optimistic so a possible worst case scenario

you buy it, drive it easy because of the mileage as you slowly improve the rear/suspension etc. then you cant take it and start beating on it, having fun. engine blows, you buy an LQ9 for cheap and swap that in.
