spectragod Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I am looking at buying a 14k mile lt1 9c1 caprice, is there anything I need to be looking out for? It is documented and I will be buying from a friend, so I know it is a straight up car. Just want to know if there are specific things to look for.

Cordell Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I don't know of anything specifically, but I'd look hard at anything made of rubber on anything that old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 14K miles means you have 50K miles before the transmission pops. Kidding, but only slightly as the 4L60E's reputation is "not if, but when it breaks". A leaking or failing front pump and line pressure regulator is usually the source of failure so look for trans leaking or weeps. Does the car have any mods?

Miller Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I always liked the Caprice of that style. They're the first car that comes to mind when I think of a drug dealer or pimp car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Rust. Lower rear quarters behind the wheel, trunk, lower B pillars, anything underneath. No real issues come to mind, they are great cars. I had a '95 9C1. Trans lasted until 130k. I had it rebuilt for $1100. http://i.imgur.com/q7UZiyel.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second Gen Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Dad was into the wagons with the LT1's and had 6 or 7 with a couple well into the 200K mile mark. Solid cars and only items are listed above (Suspension, hoses, vacuum lines rust). He still has a 94 Buick Estate wagon with just under 90K. Also this one had the digital heater controls and his has been intermittent (Assume both the Chevy and Buicks shares similar parts). This is just like his: http://www.mcsmk8.com/94-ROADMASTER/ROADMASTER.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
