Default Help need advice!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm new to this forum just need a little advice I currently own a 91 vette and I'm debating on getting another c4 a 86 I'm trading the guy for my 2002 Monte Carlo ss with all the bells and whistles 22 inch wheels,Lambo doors etc.The Monte Carlo has 141,000 miles and the vette has 171,000 miles but the guy said he had installed a jasper motor in the vette which now has 70,000 miles on it he replaced the dash interior is ok he put in new seats vette runs strong original factory wheels new tires my question is do you think that is a good trade heads up thanks.
