I dunno- prices on these have been dropping sharply- first, the newest 4th gen is now at least 8 years old- next, the gas mileage, while better than you would think, is still not like an economy car- and most people still are worried about gas prices going up- Lastly, the new Camaro is out, and that is where the high-bidding buyers are going--
I bought my LS1, 2001, 3 years ago, in '06, at 78 k mi, for $9300- 3 model years older, even at that mileage, what would it have cost now? And this was a dealer, not a private sale- He had it listed at $10,000 and could tell I was barely interested-
Keep shopping- I would be leary of buying any car that had some of the mods in that one- you know it was raced hard. I would only consider buying it if it was so cheap that I could be in a position of being able to replace the motor or transmission without spending more on the car than it was worth- or, maybe, if I trusted the dealer, some sort of very good warranty- in writing-2001 Z28 A4 - 160 deg t-stat, 3.42 gears, WS6 sway bars, rear springs and shocks, UMI SFC's, Torque Arm and STB, leather Firebird seats, Borla, SLP Y-pipe and lid, ZO6 cam and springs - 332 RWHP and 346 RWTQ, not bad for 'almost stock' - work in progress

As of lately I have found 2 cars I am truthfully interested in. 1986 IROC and a 2002 35th SS. iroc has 55k original and SS has 30k original, salvage title. I'm scared of the salvage title though, but I'll carfax it, it was only a front end collision I'm told, with damage to quarter panels and front bumper. Either way... what are thoughts on that?Comment
