Stinky 2018 ss 1le worth it?

Reaching out for some advice. I went to the dealership to look at the car right after it had been received and before it was detailed. Hood wrap has been removed. It was dirty, had an aftermarket cold air intake that was dirty, the inside of the car was was stinky ( like bo!) and dirty, one rim had curb rash and there is damage to the undercarriage on the Carfax. No accidents The car is about to get detailed and will get four brand new tires and while the damage should have been repaired through a claim, they will double check it while the car is up in the air. The car is listed for 31K. 25 k miles. No pdr. Paint looks good. Thoughts?

CPO makes a big difference. 31k seems fine for a 1LE with those miles, but based on it coming in apparently not super cared-for, I would want the peace of mind of the extended warranty with the CPO coverage.

I wouldn't touch it. Doesn't sound like it was taken care of.

Wouldnt touch it. For an extra couple grand you can get a car in much better condition!

Absolutely not do not buy that Camaro! I wouldn’t touch that thing with a 10 foot pole as they used to say!

An o3 machine will remove any smells thats in there. You'd never know. As for the rest, the only thing that would bother me is the branded carfax. It will work against you if you ever trade it in, but if you steal it for a good price and plan to keep it, who cares. Let them detail it and see if the o3 machine gets all the stink out.

I do plan on keeping the car a long time actually— maybe forever. My original intentions were to see it with the new tires and after it had been detailed, test drive it, and low ball them. I have some thinking to do..

Carfax is hit or miss. If you have doubts, walk away.
