finally found one to buy

Well as many of you know I have asked many questions and thanks for all the answers.
I got an 06 6speed black on black 85k for 14k the car seems to be in good shape and fairly well taken care of. they had already replaced the third gear synchronizers at the dlr. They had all the original manuals and service records.

I think I did pretty good.

Even though they replaced the third gear syncs I would highly recommend you to do the gm synchromesh friction modified. I bought mine with 51k, they replaced the syncs at around 60k, and at 85k the problem came back. At 93k I did the GM thing and the tranny feels like butter. The whole thing will cost you around $60-80.

I just ordered 5 quartz of Gm synchromesh friction modified for $56 and some change, shipping included. The dealer wanted $17.35 per quart for them.
