I didn't listen either now I'm in debt a couple hundred thousand dollars and don't have any of the toys I did when I went into college, granted my parents didn't buy anything for me or pay a single bill so I had to work 3 jobs while going to school, if you have the attitude you could die tomorrow why even bother with college?

Balancing a car payment while in college is not to hard, I know a lot of people who do it. Now Arch from the way you talk you went a little more overboard then having a car note.

well I worked for motorola (they paid part of the tuition)but had a house payment, was doing the car audio stuff, had a couple cars and toys, but most of the college students who can make a car payment on a $20,000 car have mom and dad paying alot of teh bills

ok i did something dumb...when i decided to get an LS1 i was calculating my monthly costs with my tips...which isnt a good idea cuz theyre inconsistant and not guaranteed.

so...an LT1 would have the same initial cost as the sale of my car. so no payments, no need to save money. then the insurance would barely be more since its the same year.

this looks good, cuz my car is so nice and i get so many compliments, and the sound with the test pipe is unbelieveable, so mistakable for a V8, i've had tons of people say nice Z28. and its just gorgeous, but that doesnt mean i cant make an LT1 nice...

so im thinking LT1 as a good compromise. (somehow i spelled that wrong)

Yea your car looks real nice, im sure if you got a lt1 in nice shape you will make it look just as good or ever nicer than your 6

NoRiceInside

yeah but i love this!

Bernotas05

Yea that is sweet! Im sure you would have no problem paying a ls1 off with the money you get for your car, just look around im sure youll find a good deal.

get an LT1. with what you have now, compared to an LT1, it will be a world of difference and you wont have to pay anything off. you can pretty much do an upfront trade on your car for an LT1 that is in pretty good condition. LS1's are expensive and even tho they are getting cheaper they arent that cheap yet. just my opinon

NoRiceInside

yeah thats how i see it. i can pretty much trade my car for an LT1 and it wouldnt be as fast as an LS1, but **** i'd be able to smoke almost anything i come across.

archemedes

are you sure you can get that much from yours?

same thing I was thinking. I know I sure as hell wouldn't pay that much for it if I could get an LT1 for the same price.

he does live in california, so maybe if he sold his car in california then had a nice LT1 shipped over or picked up from the south?

archemedes

shipping would kill the savings trust me

found a guy who said he'd pay 6 grand for it.

you really have to see this thing in person to appreciate it. with the cam and without the cat this thing really sounds like a V8, and no, im not just saying it cuz it sounds better than before, so many people at work said so, and these guys know cars really well, they've all said it sounds amazing. i mean, its like, wow. it sounds amazing, and at idle, seriously, like an old chevy small block, no joke, gotta hear it in person, sound clips dont do it justice.

oh and the way this thing looks is just as amazing. it has a presence that says, bam, v6 in da hizouse.



anyway i can get 6 grand for it.
