Exclamation

If a V8 is what you really want, I'd suggest getting one. LS1 w/proper maintenance will run well over 200K miles, just like the LT1's.

Have a it checked out pretty thoroughly and go from there.

Good luck!

i just purchased a 98 Z auto, leather, ttops, borla exhaust, 62k on the clock from a private seller for 10 grand...i had looked at a 98 ta they were asking 10400 on but with 91k on the clock i didnt feel like having it go over 100k before i had it a year so i passed...im sure i coulve had that for near 8500 bottom line is if you look around enough you can get a really good deal on a low mileage ride...just gotta look and not settle for the first one...these cars are all over the place now...i stopped to look at about 20 98-99 cars within a 10 mile radius of my house.

My 99 Firebird got about 24-25mpg and the current LS1 gets about 23-24mpg on my daily commute.

V6 uses regular and V8 premium, though.
