Default how long do LS1's Last?

how many miles can be put on a LS1? i want to look at a Silver 99 TA (A4) and it has 107,000 miles they want $9000 for it is that a good deal? or is that to many miles to start moding it?

Offer them 7500. It should be fine. Ive heard of guys camming their cars at 110k miles. As long as it runs good you should be fine.

I havent done anything to my car....but if it breaks.....what better reason to pull the engine apart and "fix" it up.

I know LS1s have been making it to 200,000 miles no problem, and are still going strong. And like NoGamesLS1 said, offer them $7500 or so.

I just got my car with 122k on the ticker and so far other than standard maintenance it stills seems to be in good shape. I would expect a few small oil or other fluid leaks at that mileage but nothing to be alarmed at.

BTW.. For reference I got a 98 T/A for $6800, A4 car.
