What to look for in 2006-07 LC

[lehn20]

I am looking for a new rig to build. Been looking at 06-07 LC's to get the extra horse power.

What should I look for price and mileage wise? What kind of maintenance is required in the 80-135K miles range?

Right now I have found 06-07 with 80-135K from 23k-32K. Looking hard at a 2006 with 134K miles for $23K. Seems like a good deal to me.

Or should I wait a year, since the 08s are coming down in price to 35K ish, could be tempting to build on the 5.7 platform.

Slee has a good write up on what to look for when purchasing.

Pricing depends on your region, but the 06 seems like a good deal. 08+ 5.7 would be awesome as well.

That link should answer many of your questions.
Timing Belt at 90K would be a good thing

Love my 06 LC. Mid 20s for one less than 90K in my opinion.
A 200 series is nice, but probably not as much aftermarket as for the 100 series.

Good luck with your search and decision!

Interested to see where this is heading since I am also looking at 100s but thinking about waiting it out for a 200. There is beginning to be some overlap with price even into 2009 with mileage under 100K
