runs and drives GREAT, VERY dependable.  it is still 100% stock with the exception of a 180* thermostat and a GTP engine cover.  i'm selling because it's really just an extra car right now, but mostly because i really really need the money to get my ass back in school.  it's Bordeaux Red Pearl with medium gray interior.  it just past 109,000 miles.  almost new BFGoodrich Traction T/A tires.  oil stays clean and full (Mobil-1) and transmission fluid is bright red.  shifts perfectly.  does not leak a drop of anything, no funny noises at all.  since i replaced the fuel filter & air filter i've been getting about 19mpg/city and almost 30mpg/highway.  recent LS1M scan shows everything is fine with almost zero KR.  very healthy drivetrain and ready for some mods!  it's really a nice clean car that only has a few minor problems:

- AC doesn't work, i am pretty sure it needs a new orifice tube (cheap)
- needs new temp actuators for both the drivers side and passenger side digital climate control (the plastic gears inside broke)
- rear passenger side window needs a new cable/regulator thing - it will slide down while driving
- window tint needs to be replaced - it's starting to peel away and has turned kinda purple.  i was just going to take it off but never got around to it.
- has Concert Sound II CD/cassette stereo but it doesn't play cassettes anymore.  still plays CDs just fine and sounds good.
- both front seats have two rips from where the leather has cracked.
- some fading on the front and rear bumpers.  the front is barely noticeable but the top of the back bumper is a little worse.  it has an aftermarket spoiler that should be repainted.  the paint on the rest of the car is very nice though, despite some rock chips typical for a car of it's age.

overall it just has some minor problems really.  the brakes and suspension feel good.  i'm probably making the car sound worse than it is but i don't want anyone to have any surprises.  it runs very strong and is very dependable and looks very nice and clean inside/out.  the car has NO rust at all, NO hail damage or body damage.  it spent its life it Arizona from the time it was new up until the fall of 2005 (varified by carfax).  current NADA average retail value is $5650; but i'd let it go for $4000 and am willing to deliver within a reasonable distance.  i really can't go any lower than $4000 as that is my loan payoff.  but $4000 for a 2nd GEN L67 W-body in good shape is quite a good deal IMHO.

i just cleaned the hell out of the car this evening - i'll get some pics up tomarrow.

thanks

have you tried selling locally?  If the car is in good shape you should have no problems selling it, especially if you are willing to go that low below the book value.  I would say throw it in the paper for $4995 and see if you get any takers, that way you've got some room to negotiate.

edit: if you were closer I would definetely consider it, I'm going to need a car for myself pretty soon.

i wouldn't mind going for a road trip haha.  but yeah, i really should advertise it locally.  i think that's probably my best bet.  i really need to fix the rear door windows first though, as i imagine that would really turn a buyer off.  i think rockauto.com sells them for aobut $55 each.  i'll  probably get the AC orifice tube replaced tube as well if it's a cheap enough fix.  after that the car wouldn't really have any issues at all besides the bad paint on the rear spoiler.
