And if it’s a DD, that could have some appeal.

Just out curiosity, why the aversion to the V8? There are things beyond the two extra cylinders that make it a better car, IMO. I’m sure I could get a witness here.

Oh yea! Witness for sure. Have had my 2011 SS since new and wouldn't have any 6 or 4. The SS drives and handles soooo much better that a lesser model even stock. Plus as mentioned on here the 6's have had many problems, and the insurance isn't that much more to own a V8..

I picked up my 2015 Camaro 2SS/RS Commemorative Edition for $25,500 in January of 2019, clean title and only 10,007 miles on it. There are great deals On 5th gens out there, just have to be patient. I agree with the rest, I wouldn’t buy a branded title.

If I were to guess the "lemon brand" probably indicates that the previous owner had a ton of problems with it. They wanted rid of it so they may have applied the lemon law just to get rid of it.

You can also get a good deal at a dealership as well. You just have to look hard. Plus, with the dealer, you're covered with the 90 day lemon law, something you won't get privately. Paid off for me big time. And to add my two cents along the lines of v8, 6 or 4, let me say that the reason you want a camaro is because of how it looks. And you would be correct, as they are head-turning designs. Why not now give yourself the pleasure of performance that will put a smile on your face? A 4 cylinder Camaro? Nahhhh. That's like discovering false breasts on a woman. You want the real thing. 36-24-36. That's a V-8!

Most states don't have a lemon law for used cars.

Then he can buy an extended warranty. Or, have a mechanic fully check it out. Lemon law should be national.

Buyers should beware

wouldnt buy a branded title or lemon law car.the 2016s and up automatics have the dreaded A8 shudder,so if you buy a 6th gen id look for a manual trans.i love my 2015 2LT RS.it goes faster than you really need to and gets good mpg as well.if you can find a loaded manual trans 6th gen with either V6 or V8 it might be what youre looking for.
