I'd keep the G8 a couple more years and after you have graduated and saved up a ton of money from your pay raise, then buy the Camaro. 10 months is no time to have a car at all, there's no need to change it up so quickly, even if it has 60k miles. You can easily put 200k on any car if it's maintained. I wanted a new car since 2004/2005, but because I hadn't saved enough before/after graduating college, and I had other goals like buying a house, I had to wait until 2010 to upgrade. That meant I kept the same car for 10 years. Sure my friends didn't think I had the coolest car on the block, but I maintained it well and people commonly were surprised that it was 8-10 years old when they got in it. Even though I have the 2SS and can't really pretend like I bought the car for practical reasons, cars shouldn't be your biggest priority in life and in a few years when you have a better financial picture, you'll be in a better position to buy the Camaro.
