When I lived in Darmstadt, West Germany in the 1980s, I owned a 1970 Mercedes 280S. I can honestly say that of the almost 80 cars I have owned, it was in the top three for quality of build. I loved that car. I was going to bring it home until a Turk hit me and totaled it. In almost 3 years, I didn't do anything but oil changes and a tune up.

I understand however, that the newer models are electrical nightmares. Not so sure I would own one now.

Not only prices but high quality low mileage cars in fifth GEN Camaro‘s especially with higher options are getting harder and harder to find used to be over all over auto trader not anymore

In the future the fifth GEN will become just like 69 Camaro’s and the prices will match accordingly per rarity

I honestly do believe this. Well, it's wishful thinking at the least.

I just went now to the Kelly calculator. Low for my car was what I paid for it used 26 months ago. High value was 4K higher. It is interesting to know that should I decide to sell the car now that I would have driven it for free or better for the past 26 months.

Danial · 09-22-2020, 09:00 AM

I just ran mine at KBB and NADA. Retail at NADA is up almost $5K and trade-in value at KBB is up by almost $3K. And that's after putting 10K miles on the car since I bought it.

I'd like to trade up which was my plan this year anyway but there's not a lot to pick from right now here.

hmmmm, maybe it's a good time to sell? The big question is...is anyone actually buying?

Yeah, a 2014 2ss/rs with 19k miles for $19k? Unless the car was salvaged, that's a straight steal.

I paid 19 grand for my 2014 1LT with 40k miles on it, and it had an accident on the CarFax. Apparently a fender bender on the rear passenger panel. Body looked fine and it drove great, so I dismissed it.

Just looked up mine. 2011 2SS/RS 21,000 miles and it says private party $21,000 to $24,000. It did not even show synenergy green as a color option.

Damn that good money. Low mileage well cared for 1LE's will only continue to go up in value IMO.
