LS1 prospects I can afford this, but it doesn't have t-tops, leather, or chrome wheels. After I buy the car, I really won't have much left to buy stuff for the car. Then again, the mileage looks good.

Here's another. The price isn't too bad.

The guy is going to send me some pictures tomorrow of it. I don't know if he'd take $6K for it, though.

THE OWNER BEFORE ME had hit a pole on that side or something.it was rebuilt when i bought it but yes it has a green title.and mechanically its fine.runs solid strong and straight.driver side window isnt working and passenger side is going slow.normal problam with these cars.will need tires before long.and a good detail thats about it.just selling it because i got engaged and trying to come up with some money.
I wouldnt buy any of those cars... Why are you so eager to get a highmileage POS "green title" LS1?? Sounds like your going to be running into some problems... If I couldnt get a clean "average" mile ls1, then I'd for sure get a clean low mileage lt1. I Know you arent thinking that same way bc you want an ls1... but in this case. I wouldnt get one. $~5k isnt going to get you much of anythigng

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
by the way... I know you dont care.. but before I bought this last lt1... I was looking at 2 ls1s.. both camaros both were 99s i believe one was about 6k had chrome z06s etc but 133k and the other had 102k and he wanted 5500obo.. but I just couldnt get myself to to buy a car with that many miles on it.. Mine had 89k.. but is clean as hell and has had zero problems since I bought it in march. I dont regret it at all.

If you need something to drive, by something cheap that gets decent gas mileage and save up for a toy when you can really afford it. Think of it like this: if you buy a newer car with that many miles and it breaks, will you be able to afford to fix it or will it just sit in the driveway?

I hope it works out for you.
