No thats not to many at all. My 2000 has 58xxx. Someone just used it as a daily driver like I do. If the price is right go for it.

I have 37K on my '02, I didn't buy it to hide. If you take care of things the car can run forever.

What?? 70,000 K. Ha, that car is still a baby. One thing: Do not forget the 350 engine has been out there for a looong time. If that is not enough just listen to this. My friend has a 1995 Z28 camaro with 327,000 miles. Of course it does not run like one with 70,000, but you can just imagine, if you take care of it, how much more you can run it. The 350 engine is a damm good engine, used by most Chevrolet Police pattrol cars, Mack tool trucks, lunch trucks, swat team vehicles and if that is not enough, it is also used by the people in the Carnivals. Now tell me, what else do you want to know, so you can buy it?? Like Mr. bowtie says, " If the prce is right, Buy it".

I had a 94 V6 drove it 147,000 hard miles. I just sold it to my friend and it still runs great. My 2001 Z28 has 47,000 and runs like brand new.

I just got a 2000 white z28 on may 6th, it has 81000 on it and it runs absolutely like new, I love this car and have a lot of plans for it, I ordered the ultra z hood for it and it's going in on july 7th to be installed. I've heard nothing but great things about the ls1 and the lt1. Reliable, and of course performance!!

I agree with the rest, 6 years old and 70,000 is less than 12,000 per year. and 10,000 a year is what insurance companies prefer so, I say it's not bad
