Buying used 2016 2SS vert
 
Hello All,

I am buying a 2016 2SS vert tomorrow. What should I checkout on the vert before buying? I never owned a convertible before just want to make sure I know what I am getting myself into. I have owned a V6 2013 Camaro before I recently totaled it out. I been driving a Toyota for while and I am itching to get back in a camaro.

One of the biggest issues is the rear glass adhesive failing.

The next issue is the flappers that open and near seat belt retractor. They typically bind open when the top is open. They should close for a nice clean look.

Other than that, some minor squeaks, rattles and air noise can be expected. I’d look for water in the trunk area and run my hands all around the interior rug surface,feeling for dampness. In my case, my passenger door glass clips the top a bit. Not a huge deal since it’s the passenger side. Good luck, awesome car

I personally have not had any trouble with the rear glass but know that others have. I did have the flapper issue on one side and the dealer changed both. I have some slight squeaks, and rattles but insignificant. I have heard no air noise. Keep in mind that the truck space is tiny. And by tiny, I mean: minute, small-scale, scaled-down, mini, baby, toy, pocket, fun-size, petite, dwarfish, knee-high, miniature, minuscule, microscopic, nanoscopic, infinitesimal, micro, diminutive, pocket-sized, reduced, Lilliputian, etc. I love driving with the top down. I love that I can remotely start the car and remotely put the top down by the time I walk up to the car and open the door. The hard tonneau cover is perfect, just put the top down and ready to rock and roll. And don't forget, you can put the top down at up to 30 MPH. I use that function all the time. I love LOVE this car! Congrats and Enjoy!

I caught a bus to NC and then had the dealership courtesy service pick me up and I purchase my 2016 2SS hyper blue. I finally upgrade from 2LS V6 2013 I bought new. I really like the technology and the convertible top drove fours with top down back to Georgia.

Awesome, you’re really going to enjoy it...Congrats!

Hyper Blue is the best color. Congrats!

Trivia: Hyper Blue is the 4th popular color, after Red, Black & White. It's also discontinued for 2019 as Riverside Blue is new, about 2/mini shades darker.

Nice Ride thats the colour I would have picked given a choice. Still like the looks of the red bumblebee, but I really like the blue as well.
