3 years! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Dreamer2430 · 05-10-2012, 12:56 PM

Yesterday was the 3 year anniversairy of owning my Camaro. It's a IBM 1SS LS3 with zero aftermarket mods. I have 17,265 miles on it and pretty much all the original parts (minus the small stuff like oil and air filters). Probably 90-95% of the mileage is highway mileage at low rpm. I financed almost the entire car, but next month will be my final payment.

Just wondering if anyone else is around the 3 year mark (or longer) with me?

malave7567 · 05-10-2012, 12:59 PM

I have a 2012, but just wanted to say that's awesome!
And all original too! I have the mod bug like crazy... but I always have.

Treefrog · 05-10-2012, 01:04 PM

Next month will be 3 years for me.. almost 50k miles and a few mods.. Car has been perfect so far!

ajp · 05-10-2012, 01:06 PM

Will be 3 years in Sept. I have less than 8k miles.

But lots of mods!

shawn18 · 05-10-2012, 01:07 PM

July 7th will be 2 years for me. 13,700 miles............Paid mine off sunday evening.....Waiting on the title to show up any day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!

Dave Coyle · 05-10-2012, 01:07 PM

Got my baby in October 2009 so not quite there yet, oh, as you can see, mine is not "stock" any more, actually has not been "stock" since it had 350 miles on her!! I have just over 8000 miles on her now.

Rocks RS · 05-10-2012, 01:08 PM

Mine will be 3 years next month also, and I hit 93,000 miles today when I pulled into work.

She is doing well, with a few mods. Only issue is the heated driver seat.

2010 2ss/rs in 1 month mine turn 3 Years. Have 10,600 miles, no modifications whatsoever. All original parts. Just changed synthetic oil 3 times. Love it but selling it upgrading to a ZL1

sstnt · 05-10-2012, 01:26 PM

Coming up on 3 years next month. She was built on April 15th 2009, delivered to a PA dealer. I found her out there, bought her, and shipped her here. Been together EVER SINCE! ;-)

Might have to have a 3-year DELIVERY ANNIVERSARY party!

Again, WHY?

Coltrane · 05-10-2012, 02:26 PM

I bought mine to drive it!

BlemsBumble · 05-10-2012, 02:31 PM

3 years in July. Completely stock. Functioning perfectly at this point. Probably going to trade it in later this year for a ZL1 or GS Vette.

avt12882 · 05-10-2012, 02:34 PM

I got mine June 2009 and have 5200 miles on it. Mine is a weekend cruiser

I bought it at Chapman Chevorlet in Tempe, AZ in May 2009. My wife and I moved to northern Nevada in May 2010, so it sits during the winter more than I would like.

1BADLS3 · 05-10-2012, 05:26 PM

Congrats! Now go put some dang miles on the thing...can't take it with ya...

powerslave · 05-10-2012, 05:33 PM

Jealous of you guys paying off your cars in 2 or 3 years. You paying 1000 or 1500 bucks a month or something? I'll be twice that long ...congrats to OP.

I just saved and paid a few big payments along with the monthly payment....Its nice not having a payment and paying that extra interest.

arod55 · 05-10-2012, 05:41 PM

Mine well be 3 years on Aug. 3rd. 6100 miles, and yes she is a garage queen. I own one other toy and my daily driver. I mostly go on cruises & car shows with the Camaro or 55 Chevy. To each there own.

That's exactly what I am doing, $1000 a month and saving the extra cash I have to pay it off eventually. Should be paid of in September or October, so about 21-22 months total.

Fraxum · 05-10-2012, 07:59 PM

Congrats most of all on the payoff! It's a good feeling. I was thinking of getting a 1LE, but then having a new payment book is depressing. Thinking now not.

lakersftbl69 · 05-10-2012, 08:07 PM

3 years next month with 11500 mile still 2 more years till I finish paying

JohnnyBfromPeoria · 05-10-2012, 08:09 PM

I had 1200 miles on mine after the first ten days!
