Where to buy LS1 in So Cal
Do any of you So Cal guys know any good places to begin looking for an LS1? I've done the ebay/cartrader.com/cars.com search - but nothing within 100 miles of San Diego with less than 80,000 miles. I've called my local Chevy dealer and they were going to do a search as well.
But if you know any good places to start, I'm open for suggestions! Thanks!

yeah dont go to hammid Auto Sales in Oceanside coast hwy
he has lots of Fbodies, but he is FU@K'N RIP OFF.kinda looks like this guy . He sold me A Lt1 T/a Last year. Car had a check Engine light. He said he would Fix it, then he tryed to do a under the tabble smog, which ment the problem wasnt going to get fixed. A drove the car for 3 days. and the syncros on 1st 4th and reverse went out. he said he would get it fixed. then it turned out the bill was 2,900, he demanded me to pay half. I told him to go fu@k him self, so he never did fixed it. Then I asked him to give me my money back or to fix the car. he only gave me half of the money back saying I had to pay the D.M.V tags, when he sold me a lemon and I wasnt going to keep the car. he kicked me out of his **** hole and I told him next Time I see him was going to be in court and I was going to bring the BBB to check out his lot. sure enough he called me an hour later saying he will pay me back Fu@ken Bastard!. I was told By a neighbor that The same incident happened to them to at that same location.

oh I forgot to mentioned that he sold the car two days later. turns out to be I see the car a few miles awayfrom my house and the owner was complaining about how he had a SES,check gauges, car was over heading.....when I took it to auto zone to scan the codes it showed 12 diff. codes
sucks!! he screwed him over.

I am looking for a 1999-2001 Camaro or Firebird LS1 M6. I'm not really looking for an SS (although I think they are awesome, I'd rather buy a Z28 cheaper and have more mod $$$). Less than 70,000 miles would be nice. From what I've seen on KBB, a Z28 with 60,000 miles should retail around $11,500.

Hey luis_ws6 is that the smae wolfmotorsinc or branch of them that used to be in oceanside, they had some nice cars down here, best out of this area. Texas is a great place to buy cars all the cars ive ever seen come from there are really nice my z28 and a couple of are caprices were from there, no rust, nothing wrong woth them. Becareful though, i hear they are trying to sell water logged cars from katrina, after a little refurbishment, but they are still POS. Just so you know patricksd shipping on a car from Texas or midwest area to here is about $800, you can get it shipped in a open carrier or closed, either way is good.

I'd love to find a private seller as opposed to a small used car dealer. I'm looking to pay cash, and don't feel like haggling with a used car salesman.

I checked out autotrader. Not much within a 200 mile radius. They seem to be mostly clustered in other parts of the country. Lots of Z28's in TX, South, and Midwest.
I don't doubt there are some in So Cal, just harder to find.

you're going to have to look outside of 200mi if you want anything decent.
