Default Help!!!

Is 100,500 too many miles on a 1998 Z28 w/the LS1 engine?

Depending on how well the car was taken of it's not bad, but remember that other parts of the car will be worn as well. I would not pay anymore than $6000 for a 98 with that kind of milage and thats if the car is in very very good shape.

Thanks. Ok so here's the deal. I'm looking for the fastest Camaro possible (Either LS1 or LT1) and newest but obviously for the cheapest and lowest mileage i can find. My limit is around $8000. Any chance on finding a good fast one w/low miles still?

It is in excellent condition. But, it's $7,950 and that's with the LS1 engine, t-tops, flowmaster dual exhaust, and leather interior. (1998) So with 100,500 miles on it dont but it for that much?

98 is the worst year for the LS1, thats why they are always cheaper, the heads are a bit different, and you don't get the LS6 intake until the 01-02 cars (only about a $350 mod though). If the car is perfect I would offer $6500 and see what they say. Is it at a dealer? If so I bet the only have about $5500 in that car. Where are you located?

Damn i can't afford a 2001 or 2002 right now. So w/that $350 mod in it, it improves it alot and makes it run like a 01/02 or no?
No it isn't at a dealer, its some guy that lives in MN also. I don't know if his dual exhaust system is any good but he said he never raced it.
I live in Minnesota. There isn't a lot up here. haha.

At first i was debating between a Camaro and a TA but I've always wanted a Camaro for whatever reason and after looking into em both more i've noticed that they're pretty similar. Also, the TA's I usually find are more expensive than a Camaro of the same year. What do you think?
