The rear badge is at the wrong spot but I don't see a big deal at it.
The badge is clued on with 3M tape.
Comes off real easy.
It also looks like it has an upgraded exhaust system.

I know it comes off easy but why would u put it in the wrong spot is my only question. I wont be able to see the car till the weekend its in Pa I am in Nova so its not a easy after work trip.

Maybe somebody wanted it to look unique.
Maybe previous owner took it off and dealership put it back on.

Maybe previous owner had a dovetail spoiler which requires the SS emblem to be removed/relocated and they de-modded before trading it in.

+1 to the aftermarket exhaust.

Until you can put your own eyes (and highly suggest the eyes of a good mechanic) on it, you'll never really know what you're getting.

Ok so I just got some pictures of the car from the dealer with better pics showing off the Pinstripes and I noticed the previous owner added the SS badge under the Camaro on the side as well in the photos so maybe the owner moved the SS emblem to that spot to be unique as someone said. Also how hard would it be to remove the pinstripe
as well and will the paint be different underneath?

christianchevell · 05-27-2014, 07:49 PM

oh the horror the car will be forever scarred from the effects of $5 worth of pin striping...... no nothing to worry about, and removing and changing the placement of the ss badge///// simple use some dental floss or fishing line saw at it then use goopoff if needed and reapply 3m emblem tape..........

Car looks awesome. Only thing I noticed was in video, it stated car has a navigation system. That is sort of misleading. The navigation system is OnStar, which you need to pay a subscription for. And you don't get a map only directions sent to center display and verbally as well. Other than that, I can see no down sides.

Like many people, the previous owner did not like how GM badged the Gen5 SS Camaro. The owner simply applied badging consistent with older generation Camaros.

Silverlsinva · 05-28-2014, 03:41 PM

yea I am feeling confident in the car that it was lightly used and not abused but I still will look over every nook and cranny and check the oil and air filter and make sure the dealer puts 93 or 91 in the car I will ask before I test drive it.

Dupree878 · 05-28-2014, 07:31 PM

The Exhaust tips look aftermarket to me. I'd take that as a plus

Hetfield03 · 05-29-2014, 03:46 AM

Have them remove their badge on the left side in the back.

Sword5 · 05-29-2014, 09:27 AM

Car looks nice. Not a fan of where the rear SS emblem is located, easy to move back to stock position. Doesn't sound like a bad price either for the mileage as long as the car is in good shape.

Sword5 · 05-29-2014, 09:30 AM

Looks like the exhaust tips are not stock either, what kind of exhaust?

goinggone14 · 05-29-2014, 10:59 AM

For another $6k you can get a new 2014 SS. Maybe even a 2013 with better features (MyLink, etc) for somewhere only slightly north of the 2010.

If you're set on this specific car than I wouldn't think the visual "miscues" you're seeing are anywhere as significant as potential engine problems. Make sure you're getting an extended warranty (at that mileage), or I'd visit another dealer.
