well i have the money to buy my first lt1 vehicle and im going to be going with this- http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...000&cardist=16

and i was wondering if theres anything important i need to know about lt1s before i buy it? i just hear that there a pain in the butt to work on because the engines under the dashboard? is this true?

thanks for all the help

Curious, why not go with a high mileage ls1? You might be able to find one in that price range, if you haven't already looked for it.

yeah my car was

8600$ out the door

with 86,000 miles

NBM with tan leather, premium sound, all options except cruise control.

im just afraid that the previous owner abused the car and it would break once i got it... happend to a couple friends of mine

^^That same thing can be the case w/ your soon to be LT1!

shit now im worrying

Look for an LS1 man, and DON'T look back... Yeah you might pay a few K more but it's a newer car too. And whatever you buy don't worry about what the previous owner did, unless it's obvious to you and you don't like it, in that case you wouldn't buy it anyways. Good Luck on your search.

ha alright i will man hopefully the rents will help me out some with payments

I noticed you changed your sig... Good choice :thumb:

If you need any help deciding just do what you did for this post, people will always tell you what they think. Have fun on your search, there's always a good deal somewhere.

hope you can find a good deal on an ls1!

we're not saying DONT get an LT1. But that wasn't a good deal. For 1k-1.5k more you could have an LS1 with the same or less miles. My brother got a 1995 Firebird Formula with 85,000 miles, 10 disc changer, better interior condition than mine, NO RIPS or anything, MINT black leather for 4500$

I got my LS1 for $8000
 

I just got my car last week for $8000. 2000 Z28 with 116k. Car is in excellent shape! I agree with the rest of the guys, wait for the LS1. The power is awesome and well worth the difference you might have to pay!!!!!

I just bought my 98 Formula, 122k A4 for $5500 dollars, :eek2: you can definatly get an LS1 Car for pretty cheap. i saw another (TA) for sale around zip code 45402 for $5500 and a 80K TA for $7400 too. There are plenty of deals out there but you gotta fine them. Good luck!

Ls1's seem to be a better value no matter what you say about them, but if you look it up, you will find many high mileage ls1s on the road today. This is because the engine will last much longer than the average vehicle. You might even be able to find one cheaper as well. I agree go ls1 don't look back. :cheers:

get a high milage ls1. theres a 99 a4 with 116k going for 5500 here in my town.

wow thanks for all the help guys im gonna try pretty hard to find a ls1 around my price range hopefully an update later on.
