Hey guys:

I'm looking at a 1999 T/A (6-speed) (NOT WS6) with 150,000 miles on it.

Is it a good deal at $6,000?

How many miles have you seen 1998-2002 T/A go on for?

depends. was it taken care of? if it was beat the hell out of and wasnt taken car of, you'll probably need a rebuild soon. i'd talk him down some, that is kinda high on the price. but if these engines are taken care of, you can get lotssa miles outta them.

thats not too bad,given it was well cared for.i gave $5000 for my `98 formula(bone stock) & w/ 128k on it,previous owners highway miles.

I think that is a great price..if it was taken care of... seriously my 00 z28 is right at 200k

I would talk him down on the $6k. You know he/she didn't baby the car 100% of the time. Do you plan on rebuilding the engine? If so...hell it wouldn't matter what mileage is on it.

We took a 2000 WS6 that over 165k miles on it for $5000 with the sole intention of rebuilding. We turned it around with an 800hp beast with all trick hardware.

I would make sure there are no accidents (obviously) and expect your typical wear and tear. If the car was well taken care of I say go for it (however try and get a lower price).

Good luck!

ive seen an ls1 pushed to 175k with minor problems and routine maint.

I just saw one with 195k advertised on CL for 8,500, so 6k doesn't sound too bad for one with 45k less miles.

I bought my 99 T/A for $ 5,500 with 112k on it. Well taken care of and I now have 150k on it with only suspension ( shocks/springs ), tires and brakes. Still runs like a bat out of hell. If it's in good shape and has a good history and it's what you want, go for it. For a couple of thousand more it could be like new.

Enjoy!

I bought my 99 T/A with 95,000 miles for $7,000. It is a really nice and all stock car that had very few little things that it needed.
