Why are people selling their Camaros already? - Page 7 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I still think I did well on the deal I got on my Camaro (Becky D Rocks), but if it came down to it and it was the Camaro or my truck, the car would have to go. The Camaro is a toy, and while right now it's basically a daily driver, once the snow falls she's going to be in sleepy mode.

I think people get rid of a new car (regardless of make/model) for a lot of reasons. It could be money issues, being bored with the car, or the car is a mechanical pain in the butt.

I was wondering why I see so many low mileage Camaros for sale? Please post the reason you sold?

Maybe they're rental car returns?

you should sit for 20-30 minutes and adjust the seats a bunch of different ways. I love the leather seats in my SS very comfortable in my opinion. It took me a while to adjust the seat to where i was comfortable.

The lack of lumbar support is my only gripe about the interior.

Something is definitely wrong with the seat position if it is hurting you.

I rode my Camaro for 2 days up to NJ and 2 days back down to AL and not once did I feel any kind of discomfort...

xEzekial · 08-08-2010, 09:37 PM

i was also wondering why so many people have been selling them.

One of my old car club buddies owns 4 Camaros, one of which is a 1st-run Yellow 2SS. He hates it now. The paint on the first run of cars had issues on some of the cars apparently, He also said they messed up his stripes when they put them on at the dealer. He honestly would rather drive his 99 SS he tells me.

I, on the other hand finally drove one two days ago. I loved EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, and I almost drove home with it, until they insulted me by offering me $7000 for my T/A. hahahahaha I told them when I did decide to buy a new car I'd go elsewhere on principle

I sold #8675 to get another one... It did have 16k miles on it...

d69chris · 08-08-2010, 09:42 PM

Over a year and still loving it!

Can't sell it, daughter wants it.

Red.........maybe you are sitting on your teeth & that is causing the discomfort.

Big Brunsy · 08-08-2010, 09:49 PM

guy at work just bought #16xxx, an SS with 8500 miles on it.

personally, I will have mine until my oldest son matured enough to handle it and respect it.....now I just need to get another one for my younger son, 2015 Z28 perhaps??

I kinda feel that a question is being posed that really isn't based on a fact,of 120,000 cars produced in 2010 model year,how do you quantify,"why is everybody selling their Camaro?"
I sold mine and got a 2011, and got more money for it than any car I've traded in the same length of ownership. If everyone was selling,trade-in value would be down.
My dealer sold my trade with 8000 mi. in 3 weeks for $2000 less than I paid for it new.

traderfjp · 08-08-2010, 10:48 PM

I'm curious why someone would buy one of these great cars and then sell it so fast. That doesn't mean there aren't many happy owners. I wonder...Did the car cost to much to operate, was the car not what the owner expected. Did they have financial troubles, mechanical troubles or just hated the car. I'm sure I missed a zillion reasons.
