Scheduled maintenence?
Hey guys, I'm looking at a 1998 Z28 M6 with 97,000 miles. The owner said the clutch has recently been replaced. I'm wondering what other things should I check to see if they've been replaced??? Anything from 60k or 100k tuneup? And for you experienced guys, what should I look for on the Z that isn't listed in tuneup but is a known problem?
Also, with it having about 100k miles, what should I be expecting to replace or do to last 150k miles? Thanks everyone

Re: Scheduled maintenence?
The LT1 in name is refering to the 1997 30th Anniversary Z28 I talked about in a previous thread.
But back on topic, I've read about things like warped rotors and the optispark, anyone with experience have any useful comments to add? I appreciate it, thanks.

Now that we got past the LT1 vs LS1 confusion. Always be looking for when the "fluids" have been changed. You pretty much have listed anything else that may be a potential problem.

Okay, I test drove the car. All in all it was in very good condition, the paint was good, the tranny shifted smoothly, and the engine made no noise nor did it leak.
But one thing I was worried about was the oil pressure, at idle it was slightly under 20PSI, and at WOT it was only at 40PSI. I'm not sure, does that sound right for a LS1? Plus the owner is a girl and in general she didn't sound like she knew too much about cars, she never checked the oil, and it was very down at the add mark but she drove it like that for a bit. I'm thinking that might contribute the the low oil pressure.
Also, though carfax shows one owner, she is not the first owner. A highschool boy owned the car first until 60k miles, which worries me.
She seems solid at her $10k asking price, which I think is still too much for the mileage, I'm thinking about offering $7500, and going to $8k at most.
What do you guys think, I really appreciate any input.
