Also look at the changes... made to each and every car line from one model year to the

next. Like was said. Out with the old in with the new. Maybe its one little option thats new

but wasnt available the model year or so before. ~

I wonder what percentage of the used camaro's are V6 vs. V8?

Though I agree that chances are slim to none that your salesman is right.

the Camaro was the new kid on the block, now the new is wearing off... but the enthusiast will remain... i've yet to even break the seal on the plans for my car

I got a buddy that drove his Camaro for 7 months, traded it in to get a SS and lost $400 dollars for driving a Camaro for 7 months. If they were the highest traded car he would have lost a lot more than that.

Using C5 as a sample, this seems somewhat accurate. At least the 7,000 part.

SS_Los · 10-11-2011, 08:18 PM

I say a good amount of those were repo'd.

Just got done counting them. There were exactly 7000.

Coincidence? I think not.

I bought mine used with the previous owner a woman, only having it for 3 months. I think a lot is the payment or they realize, though the car looks bad ass and fun to drive but they can't really do much else with it. Not good for groceries or loading up the fam. Its hard to get over the Wow factor at first purchase. I don't know just what I thought when I found out mine was an older ladies car at first. Glad it wasn't a young kid.

GEEo · 10-11-2011, 10:58 PM

The most Ive seen and heard that the car got traded because it wus to impractical or uncomfortable.

This paragraph makes Nightfall look like an English professor.
