2011 2SS/RS resale value - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Cornflakes'Camaro · 01-22-2022, 12:38 PM

Hello all. The day has come that I never thought would be here. I am considering selling my 2011 Camaro 2SS/RS. I need advice on a good asking price...

Vehicle is pretty heavily modded. Here are the bullet points:

-Im the only owner. Car had 8 miles when bought. Has 90,000 now
-Have all purchasing paperwork. Clear & paid off title.
-Never wrecked. Very little cosmetic damage (few scratches and rock dings)

Main Mods: (all installed be myself)
-Tick performance 3-bolt Cam, Morel lifters, chrome moly pushrods, ported oil pump, LS9 head gaskets, port & polished heads and 2 angle valve/seat job on heads. Dyno'd at 498 RWHP w/ dyno sheet
-15" conversion. Mickey Thompson skinnies/slicks on Forgestar wheels. Rears are beadlocks.
-BBK headers & midpipes attached to straight thru exhaust. Has electric cutout at midpipes as well.
-ZL1 differential w/ 3.73 gears & Hendrick engineering offset bushings. ZL1 axles & ZL1 2 peice driveshaft. H&R wheel spacers (for 15" to clear Carlyle Racing brakes)

Smaller mods:
-Short shifter
-Orange Halo headlights
-Jannetty air scoop (wiper fluid delete)
-Harwood 5" hood (flat black)
-ZL1 spoiler (flat black)
-Front drilled/slotted brake disc's
-BMR lowering springs (1.4")

I'm sure I'm missing a few tiny weekend project mods. I was thinking asking $25,000 would be reasonable. Thoughts? And if this is in the incorrect spot please let me know. Thanks everyone.

I also have an option to trade for a restored1973 Challenger. 340, 4 speed w/ posi traction with fresh Plum Crazy paint. Starts and drives well. Thoughts on whether that's a smart move or not is appreciated as well.

MSgt O · 01-22-2022, 02:08 PM

Jusr curious, if youre selling it, why trade for another car???

1JEWLDSSRS · 01-22-2022, 04:01 PM

Pics of the Challenger?? I had a 72, 340-4BBL with the rallye stripes on the sides with the 727 torque flight auto trans AND factory electric sunroof and vinyl top. It was painted candy apple red! Man I do miss that car!! She was a blast to drive too. And the price they are getting at Barrett and Meacum is ridiculous!!

1JEWLDSSRS · 01-22-2022, 04:05 PM

And if it looked this good, and sounded this good, I MIGHT just trade if it was me. Maybe.. lol.

A neighbor sold his Camaro and got a early 70s Chevelle. He said it was cool but he liked his Camaro better. It was more quiet and comfortable, better brakes and seats and too many things to list.
If I were you and still into racing I wouldn't sell or swap. If I was done with racing I'd swap if I wasn't using it as a primary daily driver because of comfort.
You considered selling your car for $25,000 and not so many takers, but many more buyers out there on the Challenger.

Cornflakes'Camaro · 01-23-2022, 01:54 PM

Wow thanks for all the quick responses! I'll answer each question/statement:

1) MSgt O: looking to actually Trade. Just need to know what I got in value to aim at something identical
2) I do have a pic. The 73 Challenger the engine is a 340 transplant. Still waiting on mileage/originality of the trans (4 speed) & rear end (posi traction).
3) silver sleeper: I'm no longer into racing, and never really was. I want something that appreciates in value and is a good date night car. This Camaro isn't doing any of those, hahaha

Ok then, permit me to express my opinion again.
I'd go with the Challenger, IF...I ran it by that date night person in advance. If they are hating on the purple or old school rethink the trade. Some of us would rather have a date than a cruise, I know it depends on the date, er I mean car.

ariZona28 · 01-23-2022, 06:14 PM

This is a no-brainer. A purple (!) frown-grille Challenger (1970 had the good grille) with a transplanted 340. God knows what kind of problems you're inheriting. A beautiful Camaro you've owned since day one and you probably know every inch of that car? Go apologize to your 5th Gen immediately and promise to never allow these dark thoughts to enter your mind again!

Modernmusclecar · 01-24-2022, 02:19 AM

Classic cars are great....but it will drive like you're sitting on a park bench...handle poorly and won't stop very well. Your Camaro is a bad ass car....keep it.

102SS · 01-24-2022, 05:53 AM

I would never trade my Camaro for that.

My G8 yes...the Camaro never.

My GF loves cruising in Camaro both she and the car still get a lot of looks

102SS · 01-24-2022, 05:57 AM

BTW I agree with Modernmusclecar on everything he said and will add that they were notorious for overheating.

Not much fun when you go few blocks and need to let it cool down.

Plus they leak crap all over your driveway.

I had a fugly '73 Charger with a 318, I'd forgotten how it overheated as you said. Add radiator seal to stop a pinhole leak and overheated. Radiator flush and pinhole returned. Repeated that process a few times then sold it.

OP it would be a good topic to edit and add a poll. Many people don't like to post but would vote in a poll.

Keep the car as is
Put different wheels and stock hood on it
Trade for Challenger
Trade it in on a new car
whatever other options you can think of to poll...
