- 2018 Camaro 2SS
To me it's mostly about value, not just the sticker price. A generic blob like the car in FordMustangNerd's picture isn't worth even $25K to me, firstly because its exterior isn't special and doesn't evoke any emotion, and second, I could buy a used one later that may have some mileage but whose price will be waaay lower.prepare to be shocked then. I would fully expect it to be 45k minimum, most likely 55k as a minimum, 65k with all the options.
Yeah, we complain about car prices, but those are the competitor prices.
but for 35k? the same 1.3-2.5L engines all other GMs seem to be running on these days. Even 35k is a small number and I would expect it to be closer to 38-39,999
Then again, I'm not a typical new car buyer, it takes a LOT of inspiration and quality and attention to detail to sway me towards such a silly financial decision, others will certainly have a different perspective.
The 6th gen Camaro has been the only vehicle in my life so far that cleared this bar. As a result, my 2018 2SS has had only one owner (me), 6 miles on the odometer when taking delivery, and a new car smell that lasted for half a decade, if not more.
