Does anyone buy a camaro to keep?

[motorhead]

I never understood the demod thing to sell a car. It just seems shady to me. Now if you're taking wheels off or something like that it's one thing, but I see thread where superchargers come off, headers and all kinds of things like that. To put a car through the mill then try and put it back to stock and pass it off as a stock vehicle is just shady. I would never buy a ued modern performance car after being on fourms for the last ten years.

I purchased mine knowing I would keep it. Even though, for a brief second, I have thought about trading it on the 2017 Camaro 2SS, I woke up! Too much blood, sweat, tears, money, and love has gone into my car. I plan on leaving it to my son eventually, but right now, I'm having so much dayum fun with her!!!

The suspension is easy enough to change. New rear lower control arms and sway bar/end links.

Electric steering, not worth the cost.

You will not profit from adding mods to a car. In fact, you will devalue it further. People do not want to buy a modded car because they don't know what's been done, how it's been done, the quality of the work, and if the car has been beat on.

No they are not. People do not want to buy a modded car because they don't know what's been done, how it's been done, the quality of the work, and if the car has been beat on.



If you want to keep the value of a car at it's highest, you need to leave it all stock, take extreme care of it, no snow, no rain, garage kept, no extreme use, and keep it for a long time.

I keep all my cars. I bought my 1982 Z28 at 19 in 1986...30 years ago. Still have it and show it. Bought my 14 1LE and 1969 Z28 in 2014. No plans to ever sell any of them. In fact I hope to buy more! LOL I have to drive an SUV for a DD due to my career, so the Camaro's are all just toys.

I plan on keeping my 2014 ZL1 convertible since it was the first saleable '14 camaro built and is VIN 0001. I have a problem though, each of my kids wants to inherit it, so I need to save a lot of pennies and buy & restore a '69 396 Camaro (like the one we had when when we got married), '18/'19 ZL1 (because I really like the new one - the Camaro Team did an outstanding job with that car). The 4th car maybe will be a pro-touring Camaro build. A lot of fun and work but why not, it's for the kids

Sell it .... Thought about it .... Keep it yes .... Modify it ... Yes ... Waiter where are those Headers and Cut out's I ordered.... I really cant see trading in a car I absolutely love to drive... sure the next one is probably better though it just isn't worth it to me. I will pay mine off to keep then purchase whatever year corvette is out when I do.

Bought my car to keep, been modding it for years and will never get the money back, plan on leaving it to my son in my will, he appreciates the car and I really hope he passes it along to one of his kids some day
