Is this a bad deal on an LS1? http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ca...en&cardist=153
Are those the 16 inch wheels or 17? Also can you tell by the wheels if they came with the Z rated or the lower speed rating?

if it only has 33k miles. those wheels are 16's
all z28's came with 16's, the ss got 17's. only way to tell 100% is by the RPO code (Qxx) and looking at the weight sticker to see the OEM equiped tires.
the only thing that car has going for it is low miles, i personally wouldnt pay that price.

if its what you want get it. are you getting butt raped...no, but there are better deals out there, like anything else. but if you want it, get it. the mileage is good. those are 16's. thats a six speed...it will be governed to 162 mph with 3.42 gears if thats your main worry.

Just pulled carfax on it. It was registered 11/3/99 with 177 miles on it. It has had two owners. You might ask him why he's getting rid of it. According to carfax he registered it 5/11/05, which is less than a year ago. Just make sure everything is sound with it. The second owner bought it with 28,080 miles on it. Hopefully this will help. Maybe since you know a little bit about it now, the owner can't blow smoke up your ***. Other than that, everything else looks good. It shows up to be preety clean. It shows no wrecks nor has it ever been to a shop.

Also I thought that only the autos were governed, guess I was wrong. I guess since it has 16 inch wheels it has H rated...
