Bought your Camaro used? - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

2012 SS with 6000 miles on it. A few minor chips on the front bumper & the stripe on the hood. Skip shift eliminator installed. That one seems odd, as the dealer said it was traded in for an automatic Lexus.

2012 1LT with RS package that was added later (11,000 miles - clean car fax). Test drove and purchased at night. Car is black. Rims on passenger side all chewed up. Very small hole in cloth of back seat (still need to fix before it spreads). Missing tire inflation system (dealer gave me a new one). Rear end sprayed with black plastidip (why on earth i have no idea). Again, in the dark i didn't notice it. Got all the plastidip off, praying there was no hidden damage under it. There wasnt. Rear end is perfect. Still need to buy new rims or thinking of painting them or getting them powder-coated. I guess i was so excited to buy the car i didnt inspect it as thoroughly as i should but all in all it still is a beauty and i will love her until i trade her in for a ZL1 (LOL).

Bought my '11 last August with 25k on it. I thought the shifter knob had been replaced with an old school white cue ball, I have since found out it is an MGW short throw unit which was a nice surprise. Any other alterations are entirely mine...

jeffrsho · 06-15-2014, 08:33 AM

Bought mine and took it to the exhaust shop to slap a louder one on and found out that it already had a nice stainless catback system installed...

Bought my 2011 convertible 2SS/RS a few weeks ago... had been the dealer's car, therefore the clock starts now on Warranty! Wow!!! Only 4K miles on her. I drove a lot of others, there is something extra to this exhaust... must be the performance. I got a steal and considering I will probably put a few thousand miles a year on it, if that, she's gonna be a long term keeper.

Mine was an enterprise rentacar with 22k on it when I bought it.

as a frequent renter of cars from enterprise (company reasons) I would never buy a used rental car. they get hammered on and the rental company finds the cheapest people to service it.

I bought mine (2nd owner) With 13k miles on it, still had factory bumper2bumper...no mods, no problems. I lucked out. Just the way I wanted it! No surprises. Fixed it up the way I want it!

Emig5m · 06-15-2014, 09:03 PM

I just picked up a 2010 2SS with 11,500 miles and the original owner put SS badges under the Camaro badges. Not 100% sure if I want to take them off and retain the stock/original look or leave them.

sundevildan · 06-15-2014, 10:19 PM

Bought my 13 2SS used with 8k miles (for 28k). Since I got it home noticed NPP exhaust, but also noticed a bunch of little tears in the back seats, guessing from small dogs?!? Who the F*ck chauffeurs around small dog(s) in a Camaro?

Overall happy so far.

I had to chauffeur my Greyhound in the back of my car a couple of times. But we put a blanket down covering the entire rear seating area. No way was I letting the dog in the car otherwise.

Not something that was divulged as part of the sale, or something pretty obvious, like a supercharger or body kit.

I'm talking about little things you didn't notice until some time after the sale.

Royally screwed up the driver's side fender, back bumper, and every other flaw on the car I failed to notice until recently. I knew about the dent, but the other stuff I was too excited to even notice.

Nothing exciting, unfortunately.
