Talking Bye Bye Ls1

My LS1 is leaving one way or another. If anyone is interested in a good deal let me know.

98 Trans-Am LS1 6-speed Silver with 64K miles. Needs a little work. Make me an offer

I am ordering an 2003 Sonic Blue Lightning and will be trading the car if nobody is interested.

Bye Bye GM

The left headlight doesnt go up or down and it started rattling and the P/S pump died, it currently has no P/S. The left side of the steering wheel controls don't light up anymore at night.

It has a couple mods on it. Airbox, MAFT, Mac Headers with ORY, TB Bypass, FRA, Pro 5.0 Shifter. I have Autotap that I would throw in with it as well.

2nd and 3rd synco's are dead so it grinds going into those gears, I have a rebuilt tranny thats on its way that is going in. I'll throw the extra tranny in with it as well. Car has been raced like 15 times, otherwise its just been driven back and forth to work.

Truth be told the car doesnt like me, stuff just keeps breaking and I drive this think like grandma.

Options are T-tops, 12 Disc, ASR. I dunno what else there is.

Yes it has been problematic which is one of the reasons I want to get rid of it. I have no idea what the dealer will give me for it. Make me an offer.

The TTA is coming along about as fast as Marc's car is

Trade in value on kelly blue book is $7810.00 so I would expect a dealer price to be in that range. If a dealer offers you more, then you are probably paying too much for the vehicle that you are buying in it's place.

About time you have been crying about it since you got it. Going with the lightning is not going to be any better. The spark plugs are getting stripped out of the head among other problems. Plus the tires are about $500 a piece.

Sorry it wasn't $7810, it's $7745.

That price was based on the way you described the car, with no repair work done. Again, you wanted to know what a DEALER would give you, thus trade in value.

Well if I were to trade it in I would correct the problems first.


I am not looking to Race the Lightning or anything I just want a daily driver. THe spark plug issues have been corrected with new heads for 2003. I just want a quick daily ride that I can tow my car with.

Cool good luck with the truck if you decide to get it. I am glad to hear they solved the spark plug issue.

LMAO!!! Mike, isn't that what you said when you bought the TA? lol

Just a note on Mike's car, it is serial number 00007. It is the 7th TA made for 1998. IT was built in April of 1997. It is a RARE car.

Mike, I would advertise it here:
www.classicalpontiac.com

If I had the money I would buy it.
