68 vs 02
 

lil stressed out here.... should i sell my 68 in a desperate attempt to buy my friends 02 ss that only has 20k on the clock or should i just quit my bitchin and finish the damn 68 already??

you'll kick yourself in the ass if you sell a 1st gen.

good point... nevermind this post. ive had her for 6 years. cant get rid of her now

keep the 68 dont sell it

keep in mind, first gen prices have already gone down and are skyrocketing now.. 4th gens are only gonna depreciate for a while. i can't see why this was even a question.

cuz i get frustrated with the 68. but thats only cuz im broke right now and have barely enough cash to finish the motor

if i sell i can take what i have plus what i get and then pay off the balance in payments....... but its no longer a question. im gunna keep the 68 i just get too impatient
for my own good

believe it or not, 4th gens are even more expensive to fix when they break... stupid computers

EDIT: but if you wanted to trade that 68 vert for a low mileage 2002, i know a nice z28 you can look at :D

yea i know, but his is an 02, only 20k on it. orig. tires and has rarely ever been revved above 2000rpm. its mint. garage kept. never out in rain or snow

umm you know they idle at like 1200 right? im sure its seen 2k+ rpm every time it left the garage

if its your friend, he's pullin your chain. 20k means its been drivin a bit, and any LS1 owned bya nyone in the age range of 17-35 is going to get beat on once in a while. Plain and simple. He can tell you he never did, but trust me, you cant drive that kind of power and not want to have fun with it. It's been revved psst 2k, my money is on that its been reved well past 4 or 5k..

And having original tires on at 20k and 5 years old is a little scary if you ask me.

actually i see the car everyday, never leaves the garage. he wants to be a priest. its only been out drivin 3 or 4 times in the last 3 years. and all of those times are only because i begged and begged for him to take it out lol he doesnt want the car. it was a graduation present from his parents in 2004 and it has basically sat since then

so then from 2002-2004 it got 20k put on it, which means teh PREVIOUS owner drove it a lot more.. you gotta look at everything here. i'm not trying to nit pick with you, but personally I think it would be a giant mistake. Just ask anyone on here who sold their old cars 20 years ago and are now kicking themselves for it

oh i absolutley agree... im just sooo frustrated with my car and at the fact that theres an 02 ss wasting away a few blocks from me lol... i know im never gunna get rid of my car. but his is just so pretty and so close that its like a tease.. that at any point he could just go hey im gunna go rape some mustangs and look good doing. and im just like hey yea i could rape vettes and mustangs and so much more and look great doing it too. if my car ****in ran... and he doesnt even want his... i think thats why i want his so bad, cuz i know he doesnt... get what im sayin?

keep it. keep it. keep it. keep it. keep it. keep it. keep it. keep it. keep it. keep it. keep it. keep it. keep it. keep it. keep it. keep it. keep it. keep it. keep it. keep it.

LOL THANKS GUYS

yeah, if he hasnt touched it in 4 years, than it was a 10k mile per year in its first 2, thats averege now, it was high back then........and i believe you if you say your friend dosent beat on it, but if he didnt buy it from the dealer in 02, then god only knows what its been through........

bottom line, 68 is sick, 02 is sick, 02 is a dime a dozen though

he bought it from the paramus dealership next to where sportsworld used to be. well since im not sellin it anymore lol i want 15x10 or 16x10 5x4 3/4 ansen sprint wheels. anybody know where to get em???

how does this work

lol i know, i AM short on cash. i have money set aside for my engine build, and i put aside half of every paycheck toward it..... i should be done with the engine within a month or soo. im just curious as to where i could get those wheels. ive been after a set for years but never find a good set.

american racing makes replicas........just googled them

yea but not 10 inches wide

What he said.

The '68 will only go up in value as you invest into it.
