I'm thinking a compression test is a must for this 150k mileage '96 trans am I'm looking at, but i sure don't feel like pulling all the plugs myself, so what would a decent shop charge for this? And what other measures could I take to see what kind of condition the car is in?

Re: Compression test
probably wont be cheap since lt1 plugs are hard to get to.
how much are they wanting for this car anyways, honestly you can find one with a hell of alot less miles.

Re: Compression test
no damn way. i love me some lt1s (if i didnt i wouldnt have overpaid for mine) but theres no way in hell that even i'd pay 3500 for a 150k mile one. trust me keep looking and save yourself a future headache.
in my area its pretty common to find them with 70-80k and be around 6-7k maximum.. shop around, theres better deals.
