My BMW for a used Camaro SS?
So I was one of the 12,000 who pre-ordered, but had to give my order away due to a family emergency. Now I have a chance to get what I've been lusting over for a few years now...
I own a 2008 328i Coupe with essential options only (parking sensors, keyless everything, sunroof). My father just called me and said his friend wants to get rid of his ~10 month old SS and likes my 3 series. I don't have any details of the SS, but do you think this would be a fair trade? My Bimmer has about 20k miles on it and was worth close to 40k new. How much are used Camaros going for today? UPDATE: PICS Last edited by Hooy; 08-18-2010 at 02:35 PM. |

A used 2SS can be had for 32K or so. Maybe even less if you find the right deal. There was one somewhere for 26K or so. I don't remember where.
But find out all of the details on the car first. Miles, trim (1SS or 2SS), options (RS or non-RS), and then come back and post your findings. We'll tell you. I for one would trade almost any car for a Camaro. It's just that great of a car.

a 328 @ 20k miles with an original value of 40k USD would be a good trade for a 2SS with somewhere around 10k miles. anything above 10k, i'd say your getting closer to a wash... anything below 10; your really getting a hell of a deal. we need more details! |

I'd have to wait on my father to get details, and he's very forgetful/lazy when it comes to these things. |

Big thing to find out (for me anyway) would be are we talking automatic transmission or manual? The deal killer would be if the SS was an automatic.

a used 2SS goes for around 31-33 grand but like john said if you get a good deal you might get it for around 30 grand maybe less. And like bolteon said it also depend son how much miles the SS has. I can't really tell you whether I think its a good deal or not till you give us the mileage on the SS.

If you have 20k and he has 10k and his is an SS/RS and you are happy with the color i would say even trade.... Keep in mind This is Not anything Like Your BMW..... So think it through .... I had a 5 series many moons ago and was spoiled by every accoutrement

But seriously, the Camaro has more appeal than a lonely Eva Longoria with daddy issues. |
