Looks like Ill be stepping into a LS1 car

Re: Looks like Ill be stepping into a LS1 car

accept without verification or proof;

...

it leads to the "investigation" part

Why would one investigate something if they've already accepted it without verification or proof? Sorry, you're misusing the word "assume." One should always inspect the car before buying it, I agree, but assumptions should never enter the equation. If one truly assumed the car was beat on, they would never inspect it or even consider purchasing it. I don't disagree with you. I'm just saying you aren't using that word correctly.

Edit:
Ever hear of the expression "Never assume, because it will always make an a$$ of u and me"? That's because assumptions aren't followed by thorough investigations :)

I would just go with a GMC/Chevy 05+ 6.0 engine for less than $3500 you'll have a beast of a motor. Alot of the LS1 guys are going to LS2's and some LS7's.

You guys are arguing over different points. Finkledbody is correct in saying that you should assume that the car has been beat on. You are also correct in saying that you shouldn't assume you can talk somedown to a certain price. That is all.

Agreed.... BUT the way I used the word in the first place leaves little room for error if you broke down my sentence structure. Its accurate to the point, but does allow for some room for intpretation.

You sir are correct, but my point is also that you should assume that you can get a car for 20% off so that way when you get there and the guy doesn't want to take $4500 for a $6500 car; You walk away and look for that car that has 50k miles for $4000.

Its the fact of, if you assume (rightfully that the car is in **** condition) that a retard has owned it for awhile and hasn't taken care of it. The car that is valued at $12k would sell for $9k because of the history alone.

So If a car is worth $12k on NADA values, That would mean there are over a dozen cars worth 12k selling between $8-$12 dollars. I'd buy the $8k one with similar miles and better condition cause I like to save my money and spend left overs on mods. Not spend all my money on the car and leave nothing at all for mods or repairs for that matter.

Re: Looks like Ill be stepping into a LS1 car

Well I found another car that is just 40 miles or so away form me. Im going today to look at it. Its a 2001 Ws6 a4 black/black 90k miles so thats just 9k more than my 01 v6. The only thing he done to it was put Hooker LTs on it which the 02s will need to be tuned out. Hes selling it cuz he needs a truck for winter where he sold the truck he has had before. It is garage kept. He wants 8500 but he called me back and told me if I got really interested in the car hell take 7500. I think thats a steal of a deal. The only bad side is that he shaved the door handles and put door popers on it. Im not sure I will like that and if i do get that I will have the handles put back int or buy a set of doors and put on it. whichever whould be cheaper through my buddies bodyshop.


Somone here said I should just tell everyone to shutup and go buy what I wnat cuz of all the noise this thread has started but I like it cuz you get to see everyone view points on stuff. Ive been on here since day one of owning my v6 so I know of the guys who are still sticking around. Ive not posted much on here lately cuz Im mostly on SilveradoSS.com cuz of the 03 Silverado SS I own and mdding on. This is still my original home for car forums so I wont abandon it even when I sell my v6 and get into a LS1 :)

Thats not a bad deal, but its not a great deal either.

If you want it, I say go for it.
