LikeNew02 February 15th, 2006, 01:49 AM the 2nd car looks 10 time better. maybe you want to spend a little more and get one that looks like the 2nd one with less miles.
i wouldn't even consider the first car because your going to spend a ton more to get it looking like the 2nd car.
Quik LS February 15th, 2006, 07:38 AM are you sure the first one is a 2000? The 2000's did not have the V8 on the rear light.
adding a moon roof is usually between $1,300 and $1,800 aftermarket.
nashmage February 15th, 2006, 08:11 AM Ive never seen an ls without a moonroof i didnt even know that some didnt come with it.
jahomes February 15th, 2006, 08:39 AM I have a manual 2000 V6 without a moonroof, wish I had one.
nashmage February 15th, 2006, 08:42 AM Is it all the v8s that have it then? Im not sure i also have never seen/been around a v6. Or atleast not that i can remember.
StincolnLincoln February 15th, 2006, 08:51 AM get the 2nd one..
lexmarkz00 February 15th, 2006, 09:30 AM They both suck. I say save your money and get something better.
Midas78 February 15th, 2006, 09:53 AM Is it all the v8s that have it then? Im not sure i also have never seen/been around a v6. Or atleast not that i can remember.
I have a V8 w/out a moonroof. You won't spend alot to make the 1st look like the 2nd, the only difference is 17" wheels (not chrome), mudflaps, and no chrome on the fenders.
What is the price of the 1st one? Having a different engine (than it was built with) would worry me a little, is there a warranty or some kind of guarantee that the engine is good and only has 39K miles?
pbslmo February 15th, 2006, 10:10 AM MY 2000 V6 had a sunroof installed by ASC American Sunroof Company.
It looks like some parts are missing from the 1st rebuilt LS, I say this because you can look through the lower grill to the ground in the picture. I cant do that with my car.
Midas78 February 15th, 2006, 10:15 AM If I had to do to it all over again (buy an LS), I would go for the 2nd one - and just remove the dealer pin-striping and black out the side turn signals as soon as it was in my driveway. The previous poster is right, a plastic part is missing from the front of the 1st car and seems a little sketchy.
Start with an offer of $8,500 on the 2nd one and find out if the oil cover gaskets have been replaced. If so, get the paper work on it. That cost of that procedure alone can make up the $8500 to $9700 difference.
Qbrozen February 15th, 2006, 10:17 AM i agree with the others. don't even bother with the 1st one. Depending on the size you want, adding a moonroof is about $800-$1300. We had the largest power roof on the market at the time installed in the wife's Honda Pilot for $1200 about 2 years ago.
aside from that, no need to buy something with a rebuilt engine. Why take a chance?
Frat-man-du February 15th, 2006, 10:23 AM #1 looks like a rebuild of sorts - make sure at least the CARFAX report is clean. CARFAX can be fooled but better than nothin. Beware of flood damaged cars from all the problems this past year. I look at a Mark VIII and a TC that were at an auction in West Virginia - both had minor evidence of water damage.
If possible pull a trunk panel and look at the inside of the rear 1/4s you can sometimes see water marks and such. Even better is to pull a door panel but most places wont let you go that far.
Low mileage is usually a better deal for the money.
Good luck!
ltnate3 February 15th, 2006, 10:49 AM Hey mine started out the same way. You won't spend that much money, just depends on what you want. Here's what mine looks like with wheels, grille, and body kit. You could do without the body kit and still have a very nice looking car. Good luck, you'll love your LS

I dont get whta you are trying ot say...
vehicle registration is like 200 bucks
I was thinking of getting it down to 9200.. extra fees should'nt be more than 350
kudisbetta February 15th, 2006, 12:47 PM As for the first
Well the engine on the second itsnt a rebuilt.. It was put in the car with 39k already. at that time the car was 68k. so the new engine only has 49k.
i was told a list of what was replaced
New brake pads and rotors at 74,549 miles.
new tires at 69,277 miles.
hydraulic pump at 58,338 miles.
power steering pressure hose at 55,219 miles.
as for the second car...
I am gonna try to run a car fax...
kudisbetta February 15th, 2006, 12:53 PM anyone wanna do me a carfax check on the second car...

Qbrozen February 15th, 2006, 01:07 PM what happened to the original engine on the first one?
that 2nd one is at a dealer, isn't it? They would probably pull up a carfax for you, if you ask. What I've recently gotten into the habit of is making a deal on the car, then saying "ok, we've got a deal and I'll buy it if you can provide me with a clearn carfax on it."
Beamer February 15th, 2006, 01:16 PM I'd be skeptic as to why the first one has a new engine.
Its hard to sell a car w/ a "new" or different engine because people usually do not believe it unless you show pics and papers on it. I had an '88 z24 and we got it w/out an engine and take the same(slight difference) 2.8L v6 out of a corsica and when I sold the car, the car has 115K+ miles and the engine around upper 80K. The guy who bought it was asking all these questions until my dad who did the work gave him the info.
The second is nice, but that is too high of mileage for me, unless it was just going to be a cruising car and I had something else just in case.
GrayGhost1 February 15th, 2006, 02:43 PM What I want to know is who gets the $20? :D
siddymae February 15th, 2006, 03:00 PM that first one looks just like mine
kudisbetta February 15th, 2006, 03:15 PM What I want to know is who gets the $20? :D
well you were pretty close, but i found these on my own:shifty:
:D No but if i could hook all of you up with a 20 a would.. Some one will get it though.. I would have to randomly pick.
Any ways any more opinions on my selection would be appreciated, your opinions play a big role in my desicion, This forum is def. a big factor to purchasing the right LS.
And thanks everyone so far who has helped me.
siddymae February 15th, 2006, 04:04 PM the first one is a salvage title?
whatsupadrian February 15th, 2006, 05:18 PM Never Underestimate The Power Of A High Speed Buffer!
kudisbetta February 15th, 2006, 05:52 PM Just wanted to let u guys know, that the 2000 with sport 17's will be in my possession hopefully on the 27th of this month..
So, the second LS it is..
kudisbetta February 15th, 2006, 06:02 PM Never Underestimate The Power Of A High Speed Buffer!
this guy is the man
kudisbetta February 15th, 2006, 07:11 PM working on the second ls
5speed02 February 15th, 2006, 07:54 PM I dont think ive ever seen a black ls v8 w/o chrome wheels stock.
Gasman February 15th, 2006, 08:35 PM The Chrome wheels have to do with the Suspension Package. and the V-6.
HyeLifeLS February 15th, 2006, 11:57 PM Good luck on getting it man, I like the second LS, just get rid of the mudflaps and maybe the pinstripe (is that how it's called?) when you get it.
bill5 February 16th, 2006, 08:32 AM well you were pretty close, but i found these on my own:shifty:
Ken, looks like one of those shady "bait and switch" marketing schemes to me. ;)
GrayGhost1 February 16th, 2006, 09:08 AM Ken, looks like one of those shady "bait and switch" marketing schemes to me. ;)

swaptrex February 17th, 2006, 10:35 AM i like both LS's, but great choice on the 2nd one.
Qbrozen February 17th, 2006, 11:44 AM congrats!
steagle February 17th, 2006, 05:59 PM good, now that puts an end to all your threads about trying to get an LS ;) just kidding, enjoy the car, have fun with it!
kudisbetta February 18th, 2006, 02:12 AM good, now that puts an end to all your threads about trying to get an LS ;) just kidding, enjoy the car, have fun with it!

HyeLifeLS February 18th, 2006, 11:05 AM Congrats man!! Get rid of those mudflaps.
LennDawg February 18th, 2006, 12:30 PM Congrats man!! Get rid of those mudflaps.
... and that pinstripe:yuck:
kudisbetta February 18th, 2006, 01:16 PM ... and that pinstripe:yuck:
will do.. Im gonna take care of the pin strip, mudflaps, tints, and exhaust cutout and tips right away within the first 2 days. then clear out the corners, blackout/tint taillights. then comes work on the Monster system,mobile video, tenz horizontal, rims, eibach springs, and then som suicide doors..
then a remote starter.. shaved door handles
LennDawg February 18th, 2006, 01:18 PM you got some big plans... good luck with them suicide doors, everybody says its pretty near impossible... itd be nice to see you pull it off
J3FF February 18th, 2006, 01:49 PM I'd stay away from the first one, it looks rough and they obviously dropped a new engine in it. Who knows it could have been a V6 without a moonroof and they ripped the engine out and put a V8 in...then like Frat-man-du says it looks like alot of rebuilds...Go for # 2 --it looks like the sport model.
