i look at it this way...get what you think is gonna make u happy but at the same time make sure u can afford it...if u think another ls1 is the answer then do it...u cant put a price on piece of mind...u have saved up some cash (whether for making payments or a down payment)...its a great buyers market right now...


7k get loan at jsut say 8%...over 4 years...ur looking at a 170-190 payment a month...paying 1,200-1,500 over the life of the loan...

so if u can afford that payment plus insurance...not to mention its gonna make u happy well then do it...

my input, way way to much for that mileage, and its been modified, who knows what hack job did the work, who knows how long those tires will last, and who knows whats been done to that motor, seeing as this guy thinks its a score off road truck,

get a stock pickup, from some old dude, thats the best way
