Why are you paying $7500 when the price on the webpage is $6995?

nice. I went the way of the blower instead of the extra cylinders. For now at least. When i'm outta school i'll buy a Vette, SS, Z28, or T/A. But i'm not gonna bother with it right now. Insurance is too high yet also.

Any more info on the car? seems a little high...

I jsut kbb.comed it and it was listed ~7500 when I listed it with every option availible to add, and 25,000 miles on it.


maybe if it was a 97... but I think that is kind of alot for an 11 year old lt1. Try haggling a little on price.

ive been thinking about it today. i dont think im going to buy it. im gonna look for a better deal probably.

id also like to say that i f'n hate dealing with banks. they all want to give you these high intrest rates. :mad: im mulling it all over right now and decided to do a little more homework before i put myself into debt. opti spark scares the $*** out of me on the older lt1s.

Hate to sound like an old lady but look into it before you kill yourself with debt...

I was in a situation, where I codl have bought a similar car or gotten a bit newer car with some payments, that cost a little more but its easier to get a loan on a new car.

I HIGHLY suggest not getting a loan on a car older then 5 years.

If you are looking at lt1s, expect to have cash on hand for repairs, not saying they are the most unreliable but any older sports car is not going to be reliable. Don't want to be like a coworker of mine, buy an older car, not have any money to repair it in emergencies and be stuck with a car that you cannot drive. Its even worse if its a car you cannot drive and you are making payments on it.


If your gonna get an older car, just expect it to need alot of repairs. Some people can handle having a car down for a day or so, some people can't depends on your situation.
