It sounds overpriced considering the miles on it.

Certainly over priced and it has probably been beaten on too. I would not buy a LS1 with that many miles just because you do not know how hard it has been driven.

Overpriced? Maybe so.

Too many miles? No.

I bought my 2001 WS6 used. It was 1 year old when I bought it and it had 29,000 miles on it. 29K in less than a year is a lot of miles. However, I looked the car over, drove it, checked it out, ran a CarFax, and bought it. The car has given me no unusual problems.

Just because a car has miles, it doesn't mean it has been beaten. My car was highway miles from the owner driving back and forth to the naval base every day.

Now, with his daily commute consisting of miles of straight highway, plus this guy's military ID .... I'm sure my car saw 100+ MPH on a daily basis. But, the car was in great shape, no mechanical flaws, and nothing to give me a reason to worry.

I picked up the car at a great price and have enjoyed it every day since.
