I found a great deal on a 98 camaro z28, the dealer hasnt contacted me back yet about my trade in, what are the common things to look for when buying a ls1?, its got 90,xxx on the odo, but its a deal i cant pass up

 

This question pops up at least once a week, so try some searches, too.

Things to look for are basically just the same usual things you'd look for in any car: sounds, leaks, smells, dents/dings, paint, tires, electrical stuff etc.

LS1's don't have too many mechanical issues except for piston slap, oil consumption, warping rotors and leaking rear pinion seal. Those are pretty much it and none of them are really serious anyway.

Just look it over really carefully and go from there.

Not sure about the market in your area, but I hope you are getting it well below $10K. Especially considering the miles.

Good luck!

well below 10k

 

Good for you!

 

Hey, don't worry about it if you are getting it for more than $10k. My car justed turned over 70k miles and I wouldn't take less than $14k for it IF, I where to sell it.

These are chevrolets man....not a mustang!!!!

 

A car is worth exactly as much as somebody is willing to pay for it.

FWIW, I paid $14.9 for my 00 Z28 w/36K miles 7 months ago at a Chevy dealer...

 

yes but mods play into the price you want to get. it depends on whats on the car what the buyer wants to pay for the mods on the car.

 

Cool deal....I bought my 99 TA w/ 39k for $15

 

1998s are the fastest and most solid lS1s.


So you cant go wrong!

 

Yup. Good deals are definetely out thee. Additionally, F-bodies are pretty inexpensive here in TX.

 

uh oh.... i wonder how many people will not know he's joking...

 

Damn! i picked up my 2000 Z for 17K with 6700 miles on it May 2003

 

i just paid $13,300 for my '99 TA automatic with 60k miles on it and it has almost every option available for the TA except the WS6
