That's a lot of miles for a 7Th gen, the main thing i would see is if it has records of past mechanical issues.
Has the Transmission been replaced already?
That's the big thing with the 7th gen SS's, the tranny's hardly last over 100k in MOST cases.

Not to many mods for it, other than the usual CAI and exhaust.
There is a turbo kit for it as well, that's a bit of $$ though.

Really i would just check on the tranny and make sure that's shifting well

Goodluck with your buy, these cars are awesome for sure

Welcome to the forum! If the car is in good condition 127k would be ok

But do the math 127,000 / 6 = 21,166 miles per year I believe the average is 15k per year.

BUT , you work at the dealer will they give you "special' attention if things go bad?

I would totally recommend this car especially if it has the engine that switches from eight cylinders to six to four. My father has that car and loves it. +Power +Fuel efficiency
