Going to potentially purchase a used 2SS
Hey all, I decided to go with a 2SS camaro rather than a corvette due to the back seat, my wife overruled me given we have a kid (even though we have a cherokee). Anyway i'm going to buy a used 2SS in blue (potentially) and it does have a wreck on the carfax stating:
Accident reported Involving left side impact with another motor vehicle Functional damage reported Airbags did not deploy I guess my thoughts are, anything you all think i should look really close at or be concerned based on that report? the car is listed at 34K it has 7.5K miles, I should probably try to get it for less right? It's 2ss has nav, black wheels, hud, dual control climate, heated/cooled seats, lighting package, park assist, cross traffic, blind spot. Only thing it doesn't have is the MAG it seems like. Thoughts? |

Overruled by wife? Glad to see I’m not an anomaly.
 Anyhoo, different topic 4 a new day.IMHO: it would be a hard pass for me. There are just too many good deals on used 2SS’s out there to go that route. That would be like buying a box of chocolates in a damaged, opened and torn box. I know you’re smarter than Forest, right? And I would stay with Gen6 unless you have an unspoken romance with Gen5 that needs to be scratched (no judgement: I’ve been there). Again just one goofball’s opinion.

As long as the accident is fixed right, who cares? If it looks and drives right and a clean title, It doesn't matter. It's fixed.
Now, flood/water damage is a whole different animal.

I would pass.
FYI nav is a $500 option and black five spoke wheels is a $200 option. Everything else you listed is standard on a 2SS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Fwiw I just bought a hyper blue 2016 2SS with pretty much all options (including magride), 10k miles, auto, at a dealership for $32k. Clean carfax and no issues to date. I bought her a little over a month ago. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk |

I would pass also. There are so many more used 2SSs out there with no accident history.

Really depends on what kind of damage.

Unless you work at a body shop and are going to put the car on a measuring table to confirm proper repair - move on to a thousand others with no recorded accident history. At one time I inspected cars for a living. It's unbelievable the hidden things I found and saved someone thousands and years of aggravation. Buyer beware b

Personally I'd pass unless you could get it for 30 at the most. That's just me though.
