Someone loved the hell out of that car.

HorsePower-Freak · 07-11-2012, 02:46 AM

Ridiculous amount of miles on that one. When I bought my 2011 it was $28,995 from a "mom and pop" dealership and the big name chevy dealership was trying to sell me a 2010 for $30,000 and it had 40k miles which was over TWICE the amount of miles as the 2011.

two_wheel_mayhem · 07-11-2012, 02:57 AM

It looks nicer than I expected for the mileage.

MillerTime · 07-11-2012, 03:06 AM

I sold my flawless 2010 for 25k wtih 25k miles on it... :( and that was in 2011....

meissen · 07-11-2012, 07:09 AM

I have to be blind - I don't see mileage listed anywhere on that page.

Edit: I am blind - I just saw the "85k"

Bcarr · 07-11-2012, 07:24 AM

With those kind of miles it had to be a fleet car. Probably somebody's company car. I'd stay far away from that unless it goes for about $10K. Then I'd buy it and mod the hell out of it!

CUPRA · 07-11-2012, 07:31 AM

It appears that the person who took all the photos didn't know what they are doing. Almost every picture is out of focus and blurry!! Doesn't bode well for the sales experience!

Alan11 · 07-11-2012, 07:37 AM

On a side note, I have lived in Virginia my entire life and I have never heard of Bumpass, Virginia until I read the history report. I am surprised with a name like that I didn't find out earlier.

It took me a minute to find the mileage for
both cars. So you arent blind ~

Witchdoctor92 · 07-11-2012, 08:20 AM

Maybe a rental?

meissen · 07-11-2012, 08:29 AM

Surprisingly, the 85k car was sold privately and was not a rental car according to the vehicle transaction history.

SSBlack · 07-11-2012, 08:56 AM

Even if it was a rental with 10K, or even 5K, I wouldn't touch it because people beat the hell out of rentals. Especially Camaros.

Probably was owned by someone that traveled a lot. My neighbor is retired and travels all the time. He and wife have put 50K on their 2011 CTS and it still looks showroom new.

GearheadSS · 07-11-2012, 09:04 AM

The 2012 1SS is a deal! I would have loved to have found that car when I was searching.

upflying · 07-11-2012, 09:06 AM

85K miles and most of them were in 6th gear. Those are easy miles..way better than 8500 miles at 1/4 mile at a time.

I always like how people will pay top dollar for, say a low mileage C5 Z06. Really? So you think those 43k miles were easy huh?

My car has 34k and is a 2011-- but 33,980 miles of those were highway driving (long commute) and it's been well taken care of.

Isn't there someone here with well over 100k?

Wrong. Mine has 70k and I didn't drive it most of last summer.

amz · 07-11-2012, 09:50 AM

Interesting to see how the interior holds up near 100k miles.
I know Carmax does a lot of refurb work on their cars.
Not bad at all.

Mine was a rental with 12,000 miles. Didn't know about it after the fact I bought it. But honestly, the interior is in great shape, only defects is curb rash on the bottom of the front bumper and the rear bumper has been sprayed. (over spray on the mufflers is the only way I could tell) Runs like a champ and tires are in good shape. Though chances are is if this was an SS, I'm guessing the tires would have been replaced.

Anyways, that seems to be a bit high for that many miles. And good God, almost any car dealership I look at takes really crappy photos. It would be in the interest of the dealership to hire someone part time to take photos for them.

If I was really interested in that car and that's all I got were blurry photos, I wonder what else they do that's half assed. Know what I mean?

I'll bet only the drivers seat was used during those 85,000 miles. No crumb crunchers and dogs tearing up the interior either.

I've passed through there before. Pretty funny name.

That carmax is not too far from me. It's tempting to go look at it just to see what kind of shape it's in.

strych9 · 07-11-2012, 12:20 PM

Looks like it held up nicely, given the mileage.

Rocks RS · 07-11-2012, 12:32 PM

My car has 98,990 miles on it this morning. The interior looks great. The outside looks good too. Just the minor chip here and then on the front, but nothing bad.

I have a daughter that rides in the back alot and it looks good too, even the figure prints on hte back and side window.

These cars hold up very well. I am very happy.
