Default Just bought this Z28

98z with 190,000 miles A4 with t-tops. It needs quite a bit of work like window motors,rear end whines, no a/c, power steering leak, and a bent wheel. Still runs and drives good with the exception of the bent wheel. I got it for $2000, I think it was a good price.

Sounds great to me. An LS1 Tranny combo can run 2000$ alone, though with 190k they're probably due for a rebuild...

$2000, that is awesome. Gotta be the cheapest price I've seen for a running/driving LS1 f-body.
