Sounds like another fake "by owner" ad. Just the way it's worded and priced. I realize it is an SS but $4500 still seems high.
Local owner bought new
No private seller would word it that way.

2000 Camaro Z28 FOR SALE - $2000 (Hudson County)
Black T-top
5.7L V8
Automatic
188,000+ miles
Has spare tire and jack

Car has been sitting for 3 years and I'm just trying to get rid of it as I am living in NYC and have no use for it. Prior to having it sit, the car was completely solid and ran wonderfully. It never failed me and looked great. Car will NOT start.

Wow, that is super cheap for an LS1. I'm not sure if anyone dare make another trip to NJ though.

That sub is definitely what's up. Sadly I have had few real grinders but I still know the difference. You can't beat a legit, old school shop.

You should try Ricotti's in Bristol and several other places around the state. Real good subs (grinders?) and you don't have to go to New Jersey.

2004 CTS-V with 181k for $7900! Looks to be in serviceable shape with clean title.

That is such an outstanding value.

After owning both the SRX and STS, I really can say I would not be nervous about a higher mileage CTS-V. Despite being on the same platform, it is a simpler execution.
