Default Anyone Know This 2000 SS?

Buddy of mine is going to look at it sometime this week and he wants me to go. Just wanted to know if anyone from the Katy area knows this car or the owner? Here's the ebay link.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2000-...f1bf1d38#v4-36

If you know please let me know. Thanks.

Really? I didn't notice the ground lol. Well i will be going over there with him to help him look at it. I know the LS1 motor but im not familiar with its leaks. Basically the timing chain cover i need to look at and around the oil pan correct? I know LT1's are famous for rear and front seal leaks.

I think the owner had probably just washed it and water was just dripping. It it is all the way around the outer edges of the car.

I wouldnt pay more than the $9,000 hes asking. Ask him what the "SLP package" consists of. I dont even see SLP lowering springs, but then again I dont even remember what SLP options were available back then.

+1 look at where the spots are as they are only near the edges of the car in every pic. Even the tail pipes.

this is a famous move for selling a used car on over the internet!! i would usually park it in some very very green ( so wet spots wouldnt show and a good color contrast for the black car)thats nicely trimmed. Wet down the car real good...it makes it look perfect(paint wise). its just a trick he picked up. the paint might be in great shape given its low miles but how many of you have ever washed a black or dark colored car and got it clean but it was still wet and you backed up and said "damn, i wish my car always looked like this!"?

Thats my old car.. my brother listed it on ebay.. He has been driving it the last year or so .. The car is in great shape it is barley driven..

i bought the car bone stock.. my plan was to turn it into a Head cam car and then eventually into something more.. but then i found the car in my sig and couldnt pass it up.. so the car has just been used to drive around town every once in a while.. my brother always kept it clean and the oil changed..

and i have NO idea why it shows alaska as purchase location??

i know it doesn't leak any fluids and it drives great

and i dono what he meant by SLP Package.. as far as i know its a Fully loaded 2000 SS
but it didnt have any add-ons like the loudmouth exhaust or anything like that

Good to hear. My buddy told me the reason for the sell was Med School? Also it says he added on borla exhaust and kooks LT's and a ported and polished TB. Is this true? I mean i will find out when i go look at with him, but just want to verify with you.

I've never had that issue with e-bay, I would be pissed since those dick heads make you pay for additional pictures and wont let you link to out side sources. The head lights look pretty cloudy, kinda typical.
