06 gto 6.0 ls2 73k miles opinions on this buy.

Well my camaro was totalled and the insurance offered 17, 200 and I took it. So I found in good ass condition. Just has 73, 000 miles. Is that really that bad? Is it worth the buy or as many say a headach in the making? Also parts and replacement parts ? Hard to get? How about mpg. Whats the real life mpg? Price good? 15, 500

Do these cars break often?

Why don't you want another Camaro? Im always sketchy in buying a used muscle car unless it was a older person who just daily drove it and has all the records for maintence.

Cant you put the money toward the new car or are you paying off the loan on the Camaro?

Gto's are great. Price seems to be decent. Not great but not overpriced. I like gto's and think they are good cars.

would be different if you was buying the car out right vs trading in your new camaro for a old car regardless. Just my 2 cents

well look at it this way that's almost a ten year old car parts start to get brittle and need replacement . so I wouldn't do it unless you have another car to drive and depend on because once you leave with it your stuck with any problems that comes after. That happens a lot and yea it's a v8 but the camaro v6 is no slouch it's not a old looking car and camaros look 100% better. I wouldn't spend 17 on that 7 year old car and still will need money for a warranty or to replace parts . Get the camaro trade in value will be more for when you do wanna trade up to the SS.trade in value won't even come close. Yea you can mod it but if the car wasn't up kept and wasnt drove right. the mods you do put on just gonna break it. Then you will be losing because you spent 17 and now the car is needing parts replaced and now just sitting collecting dust.
