Would you pull the trigger on this - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Therealbigrich · 03-06-2015, 02:59 PM

Long story short I was hoping to get a 1 SS Camaro. I found one 2011 30k miles certified for 23k. I have a 2012 2LT with 34k miles and the dealer is offering me 16k trade in . All said and done it would look like around 30 total and 450 a month over 72 when I was paying 400 a month with 66 left . The numbers I'm ok with but I can wait and am not in a hurry but if its a steal of a deal I will buy the car tomorrow . Wanted to get other peoples opinion first though . Here is the car

Financing out over 72mos is painful, man---especially on a used car.

I would try to get a 2012 SS so you have the better rear suspension, but that's just me.

I'm pretty use to it and I will likely trade the car in again before the full contract is up. I just wanted to see if the price is decent or if it was a great deal

Therealbigrich · 03-06-2015, 05:07 PM

I found another one a little further away. Same price only 7k miles and Halo option in the same color I have already . I'll drive up tomorrow and see if I can get a little more for my car and the same deal. Only problem I can see in there version of carfax called autocheck it says the title was corrected. Could that be a problem ?

I WOULD TRY AND SELL YOURS OUT RIGHT FOR A LITTLE MORE AND ADD DIFFERENCE FROM THAT LOAN ADD TO THE NEW ONE. 30,000.00 FOR A 2010 0R 2011 IS A LIL MUCH. JUST MY TWO CENTS.

30k was the mileage. Car is $23,000.

No , he's saying $30,000 because the OP will be paying that $30,000 because the loan will be for $ 30,000! $23,000 plus what's left from the the other car and loan interest!

Q'smuscle · 03-06-2015, 10:48 PM

And OP , if it's what you want better jump on it because that's really low miles for that price and color ! Also, I didn't get a 2012 or 13 which I had bought before trading it for my SS because I wanted the retro Speedo numbers and steering wheel ! I guess , I wanted a more retro and unique interior. Lol ..... Needed the retro Speedo numbers! And I don't see any problems with the corrected title! It's nothing that has to do with the car, just the title!

Well I saw the white one today and was really close to buying especially after hearing the engine but my wife wanted me to give it a day and hold off. That's when I say the Red one for 23 and only 7k miles . I'm checking it out today and if they could at least match giving me 16 ( hopefully more when I tell them the other dealer offered 18k) Then I could see me driving that car home . Seems to be worth the 30k its self with those miles so getting so much less foe my car wont hurt as much

bluebonn · 03-06-2015, 11:12 PM

I'm waiting til December hoping GM will have another 20% discount and I can get my SS then and trade the one I have now. I would love to have one now but prefer a new one might be an option if you can hang a little longer

Definitely won't hurt at all! Trust me ! Because you get what you really want . I traded 13 LT/RS BRM with only 3k miles from Jan 2013 to July 2014 sold it for 21k and new that I could've got more for it, but I wasn't worried because I was getting what I really wanted! The salesman was too happy and it was the fastest transaction ever!

True ! But two different looks ! The 2010-13 muscle car front or the more aggressive sports car front of the 2014-15!

LStick · 03-06-2015, 11:32 PM

Looking at the "corrected title" aspect of the red one with lower miles- 90 days after purchased new- possibly info was entered wrong on the original title and had to be corrected? THAT wouldn't be that big of a deal.

If it were a couple years into ownership or had traded hands and had to be corrected, then maybe I'd be more concerned.

Of course, I'd play it up as a "dink" on the car to get the price lowered if I liked the car. Has to be worth another $1000 off if you are ready to commit to the car and buy it.

Therealbigrich · 03-07-2015, 12:44 PM

So just a update I went and bought the red one with 7k miles on it. They gave me 17,500 for my trade in and the car is a 1SS RS so it was more valuable than the white one but same price. So far I am very happy this car puts a smile on my face unlike the v6. Thanks for all the help guys
