Sold my gtp.

**EnjoiJoe** · 03-19-2010, 11:00 AM

So I just sold my gtp for 5 grand and my mom is gonna give me 4 grand. I am looking at lt1 trans amS since i don't have alot to spend and was wondering if a lt1 car would be worth it or should i get somethin else?

**Spaz** · 03-19-2010, 11:01 AM

Thats what i was thinking, but I would have to buy one from a diff state and ship it to mass because i can't find any ls1's here.

I live in NY and got mine in CT.... got a ride there to look at it... came back two days later with cash to pick it up. btw.... 11,500 last year... you can prob get a REALLY nice LS1 for 9 grand these days.... heck.. bought mine in June that's prime LS1 season!

You can't drive? Our formy was a ten hour round trip, in state

**Transamws6** · 03-19-2010, 11:33 AM

Yea, if you really want the LS1 F-Body, i'd see if i could find one of those first for your price range.

If not that, I'd see if i could maybe try and find a 4v SN95 cobra, or maybe, just maybe you can find a N/A new edge cobra for around 9k. Probably not though.

I could, but honestly I would just pay to get it shipped which is what I might do because I am dying to get an ls1

**LSCyaL8R** · 03-19-2010, 11:50 AM

I waited 2 years to find mine. the market fell out and they came to me. Finding a hawk in that range was just icing on the cake. Shouldn't be too hard if you just give it a few weeks. I'm sure there are a lot of LS1's that will be up in VT MA RI and CT that might suit you.

took me all of 30 seconds to find this in your area.... have fun!

1998 TransAm Black A4 30k miles $9,500

Here's another one

1999 TransAm no ram air hood on this one. Tan interior Black exterior 6M 31k miles $5,200

Dealer near me is selling a 99 cobra with 58kmiles for 9400. Pretty close

I would still stick with the ls1 car though

**SHines-IT** · 03-19-2010, 01:07 PM

For $9,000 only LT1 car to look at is a C4 or SS Impala... Year or so ago, I drove my 98 Trans Am slightly modded and mostly impulse buy for just $8,000 (out the door), from a dealer. It was not a bad deal, or a good deal... But I had them throw brand new tires on it also before I bought.

EditL: Shit, for $6,000 I will sell you my Vette, with newer tires in the rear and drive it to you, lol...

I highly doubt there aren't any LS1 vehicles in you price range in the entire state of Massachusetts. You probably aren't looking hard enough.

I proved that indeed there are. the $9550 TransAm was 13 miles from his zip code.

Sorry, didn't read the rest of the thread. Well played.

OP:
Son, I am disappoint.

DONT BUY A LT1...

-opti-spark
-intake manifold oil leaks
-reverse flow cooling system/banjo bolts

are just a few things that crap out and are a pain to fix. ls1 cars barely leak and are easy to work on..

search ls1tech.com alot of guys are selling partially modded for cheap prices

Opti-Spark, less common do you think
Never had oil leak from there, other places yes
RFC is not bad, it's different though

**damianj03** · 03-19-2010, 02:47 PM

try ebay or craigslist

**Hi-Po** · 03-19-2010, 02:58 PM

Don't impulse buy on a car. You have a few weeks before summer, start looking. Search the forums for used cars. There is a sticky in the General Section on some common things to look for when buying, I think Pajeff made one also.

Forget the LT1, That's a step backwards in car buying.
