In the process of buying this 2013 2SS used.
Never had insurance or purchased a car, starting fresh.
Any advice on the car? It has 17k miles and I'm paying 26 plus taxes titles etc.
my dream car! But wondering how the gas is going to work, v8 and shit.
What should I expect?

Lmk thanks!

The gas is on the right, the brake is in the middle. The gas works by pressing on the peddle, try to relieve yourself before driving, you could shit yourself. You could also shit yourself when you get the insurance rates. Good luck with your car.

Gasoline smart one. MPG. Didn't think I had to spell it out for some of you

As far as insurance goes, well that's just that it will have to be. I figured it's will be bad

Its a great car, gets crappy gas mileage. I think I average about 14 mpg, mostly in town driving.

Amanda...you should be able to get over 20 mpg on the highway maybe as much as 23 or 24 depending on how heavy your right foot is. But if you plan on having too much fun with the 420 horses, you may be lucky to get 20.

Sounds like you have your mind made up. Get used to the car before you start to have too much fun w/ it. It can be dangerous for you & others. Enjoy it & take it easy the 1st couple 100 miles. Did you get the auto or stick?

Palabraword · 05-04-2014, 05:24 PM

I average around 19 on my 1le. Enjoy

You have no idea. I've checked others out but not ss But I can't keep my eyes off the SS Thursday I'm checking it out in person. It's fully loaded too.
Automatic. I can't do manual.
I keep telling myself don't say yes the moment you see it lol
Patience!

Yea dont go there like that hide your emotions. Point out all the flaws of the car you find & look hard for them. Don't let them know how much you like the car & haggle the crap out of them. Hope you get it @ a good deal.
Btw the camaro is also good therapy when you need it.

Amanda, welcome to Camaro5! Like the others have said, take it easy for a 100 miles or so till you feel comfortable driving your new to you Camaro. Traction control is your friend! Resist the urge to slam the go pedal and stay in control of the right foot. Have fun and enjoy the ride!
