I know my fair share about these cars....a friend (dmnspd)had one that he got with 8x thousand miles and had it till 100,000 or just about and it ran great...another friend has a cam/exhaust one with 87k on it and runs great...cept for the bust 10 bolt ...anyways, there is a kinda local dealer that has a 98 black ss with 90k miles on it....am I just asking for problems with a higher mile ls1 or what? I mean, yes cars get old and things need to be replaced cause of normal wear, but what should I be looking out for, I dont want to buy a car then end up replacing a bunch of stuff

for the right price the car would be worth it. you can always blow the engine and use it as an excuse to put a better engine in it.

Its all about maintenance .... See if there are records

what would be a good price for a 98 ss at a dealer with those miles? So I know if it is over priced or not. Thanks

I bought my 2000 SS with 90,000 miles on it for a great price and i havent had a problem with it yet (knocks on wood). I have just done all the routine maintence on it.

Ive Got A 99z With 354k On It. The Motors Are Solid But Mine Has Had Its Share Of Tranny Work Done. I Agree With The Other Guy, Its The Regular Maintenance That Counts

i bought my 99z convertible for 12,000 and it had 88,500 mi.. I think it was well worth the money. As far as maintnaince I haven't had to do much, except the tranny was blown when i bought it(warranty item). It runs perfect and have had no issues with the motor.

Nope, Not A Typo- 350,000 Miles . But The Cool Part Is It Runs 13.10's In The Quarter. I Dont Know If They All Will Hold Up This Long, But So Far So Good!

Tranny may go out, but other then that no worries. These cars are great.

Damn, 350k, where do you drive? And I thought 210k on a 95 Formula was high. Thats good to know, really good to know that then can last a really long time with proper maintenance.

So INTENSE

wow... 350k on an ls1... would have never figured it would be true... you must baby your car... oh and im new to this forum as well... looking to get into the realm of v8's and from what ive researched ls1's are the way to go.

If it's stock, and the body's in good shape I'd go for it. Do a carfax first. If you've got a couple of friends with LS1's you're probably gonna mod the hell out of it anyways

SloPony91

yup haha, I actually just found a 98 ss with 59k on it at a local dealer for 11,900...they wanted 10,500 for that black one with 90k...so I think this one is a better deal with 59k miles

The '98 had 90k on it when we got it. 9900.00. 129k now(after mods) and still runs like a top. I had to replace the water pump, but that's it. Keeping my fingers crossed. BTW-it's paid off, and now I'm saving for the next-Gen Camaro (Come on GM- make me happy!!!!!).

SWEETTTTT...keep it running and go for the million mile mark, maybe GM will give you a 08 model as a reward

i paid $7500.00 for my 98 Z with 56k a year ago. I did get a good deal, I've done nothing to it but maintence and drive the **** out of it. Lots of night at the drag strip. I think it has 64K on it now. Needs a clutch thanks to Drag radials.
