--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hey guys im a die hard bird owner i love my lt1 ive had it forever i rebuilt the engine and its pretty much in perfect condition.

but today i found this and i love it i always wanted a m6 ws6

my question is since this is from a car dealer and everything checks out to be ok with the car

REALISTICALLY...

how much do you think i would for my car if i were to trade it in for it and i will be putting cash money on top this being said i know car dealerships usually like cash so yeah...

i have like every reciept since ive had it and there are about 6000 miles on the new motor and 130K on the rest of the car clean title as well...

i havent contacted the car lot yet but let me know what you think

I would not want to spend more than 2k but if you're going to be spending 2500...it all depends if thats what you want. If its worth it to you spend a lil more, I would take it to a mechanic that is not one of theirs and have them check it out real close.

Your payments on 2 or 3k won't be that bad. Might be worth it to get into something else, LS1s with the m6 can get up to 30mpg if you keep your foot out of it. Also it already has the SLP lid so thats $100 you don't have to spend right off the top. I'd say go for it if you like the car and it drives good etc.

For 6k you could probably get a junkyard pullout LS drivetrain and keep your car.
