Well I bought my 2010 1ss for 26k 3 years ago and it only had 11500 miles on it. that's a 2ss with 22kish miles on it if I'm not mistaken.

That looks like some custom work was done to it. Looks like a custom exhaust, and one of the pictures has a Airaid CAI. Kind of makes you wonder what else was done to the car.

Personally I would rather buy a car that wasn't modded at all so I could do all the mods that suited my needs. If that car stands out to you, then I'd say go for it.

If you go for it, clean that intake filter

It's starting to look a little dirty

The corner pieces of the dovetail spoiler are bolted on so unless they went to all the trouble to fill and repaint where the holes were I doubt that is why the badge was moved.

If you're set on this specific car than I wouldn't think the visual "miscues" you're seeing are anywhere as significant as potential engine problems. Make sure you're getting an extended warranty (at that mileage), or I'd visit another dealer.

6k more is way out of what I want to pay and can afford and actually I know where I can get a brand new 1ss manual in ashen gray for about 28k and that is still more than I want to pay Also 25k miles is nothing on a 2010 car that's like 6k miles a year.

I just noticed how dirty the air filter is lol Also is air raid a good intake? I prolly wont clean it just buy a new one I hate those oiled filters I might even see if anyone is selling their stock intake and just use that.

$6k translates to approximately an additional $120 / month in payments (probably a little less).

This SS doesn't appear to be a Certified Pre-Owned. Perhaps it is. Get their service dept. to print a factory build sheet for this SS. hhhmmm...

Silverlsinva · 05-29-2014, 11:11 PM

Certified preowned only means they charge u more for the car IMO. Also I did get a buildsheet from them emailed to me. Yes it is only about 120 extra a month for about 60 to 72 months so that's a lot of extra money.

hazzard623 · 05-30-2014, 12:32 AM

That's a nice car. For the mileage and options it's set at a nice price.

damian559 · 05-30-2014, 02:01 AM

Get a brand new 2014. You can get a good deal on them now, since the 2015's are coming out very soon.

Silverlsinva · 05-30-2014, 01:48 PM

New one is still out of the price range of what I want payment wise and I don't want my insurance to go up as if I get this car my insurance will drop almost 30 bucks a month.

Silverlsinva · 05-31-2014, 11:08 PM

Well the numbers didn't work out in my favor so I will be waiting to get another Camaro SS so I will try maybe next year and see what the 6th gen looks like or maybe wait for the Diesel Colorado.

JCunningham · 06-01-2014, 12:39 AM

may have been answered but. People put the SS badges on the sided because thats were they were on the 60s camaros. they probably only bought 1 and took the one off the rear.
