Did I get a good deal? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My name is Marty and I just joined this forum since purchasing a 2011 Camaro LT 3.6l automatic with 31K on it. The car looks brand new for being 4 years old and at 17.5K, I could not pass that up. Got it from a dealership which said it was a trade in from a drug task force and was driven by a detective. Whoever drove it took care of it, that's for sure (they just forgot to take their evidence bags, microphone bug, and scale out of the trunk). Now I get to learn about Chevys having been a Ford man most of my life (had a '68 Mustang coupe in high school, several other Fords, and currently own a '98 F150 XL 4.2 with 220K on it and running strong). Good to be here and a part of this and other forums. I've received a lot of great help in the past from people when manuals fail. Been taking care of most everything on my cars and motorcycle my whole life since taking auto mechanics in high school. Thanks.

Laughing out loud, I remember in the old days when people bought a sports car somebody had died in for $5K.
The dealership is not stupid and would let that car go for that little unless the title was salvaged.

I'd say slightly below average. Pricing can vary by area code. So you did OK, but I'm sure the dealer made a huge profit as they likely bought at auction super cheap.
