you bought it broke?

I believe he bought it almost totalled.

I paid 6,000 for my car three years ago with 78,000 miles from the second owner bone stock and female driven most of its life, never raced. And the prices just seem to be going further and further down since ls1's are getting cheaper. I hate to say it but your car would probably go for 4,000-4,500 if your lucky. I'd say if you can afford to keep it then keep it. These car are great reliable fun cars if you take care of them.

To be fair; here is what you have:

*Looking at it* ~$3K - $3.5K
#1 1994 (13 yr old) LT1 Camaro A4
#2 114,xxx miles
#4 Opti-spark (known for failure)

*Test Drive* ~ $2.75K - $3K
#1 gear whining (raises other question of related problems)
#1.5 Possible other worn parts????

*What we know about the car* ~$2K - $2.5K
#1 Burn out pic (= worn brake parts if you don't have a line lock)
#1.5 Burn out pic (possible engine/Trans wear)
#2 1/4 mile time (again, how much was the car beaten, your "word" means nothing)

You have a 13 y/o LT1 camaro w/ 114,xxx miles on it with drive train noise

Keep it as a project car and put a T-56 in it. The car has A LOT of poteintal (LT1 = iron block...LT4 Conversion 425HP) and you have no piston slap issue like us LS1 guys. Or; find someone who wants to build a track car outa it. Sorry to say man, but you're not gonna get much for it.

take j0ns offer. as Ron said i got mine for 3750 with 94k on it in GREAT shape. no noises or vibrations or anything.

hehe...i can't even imagine what kinda mayhem the two of us would do to the LT1 community if we started going head-to-head in the same car

You should be able to get $3500-4500 for it depending on overall condition. And for another comparison, I sold my 96 SS A4 hardtop in July of 06 for $7500 with longtubes, 17x9 and 17x11 white painted ZR1's and 86K miles. If I were you, I would enjoy your car for another year or 2 before worrying about getting an LS1. Both engines have their good and bad points. But if you stretch yourself to your spending limit just to buy the car, you won't be able to do any mods.

:lol: as long as you know that id be faster

1. Opti spark was replaced 5,000 miles ago
2.114,000 mostly highway owner before me was a lady and lived in the middle of nowhere.
3. 1994 a4 yeh but tranny was serviced 10,000 ago and car is in prestine condidtion minus the front and rear bumpers interior is showroom condition.
4.70% of major parts were replaced before i purchased the vehicle.(dont feel like listing all them)
5.gear noise yes but mechanic checked it and it lines up perfect and says its normal for aftermarket gears. about 5,000 miles on them now.
6.burn out pic- that isn't even me lol i have silver zr1's on my car and non tinted windows.
7.Went down the quarter mile about 6 times total. lt1's can handle that abuse :-)

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

:lol: you wish

why not put a burnout pic ? this guy did http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-ca...QQcmdZViewItem

Yup....and his 60,000 mile LS1 car still only has a high bid of just over $4,000 after being on ebay for 5 days.

So what do you think people are going to want to spend on your LT1 car with almost double the miles?

Take notes...this guy did everything wrong. Mentions NOS, drag racings, etc...

well atleast he is honest :-)

Listing that the car has been beaten on like that and even putting pictures of that is a big turn away....
