Hi Guys, I'm new here! I'll be moving to Idaho from overseas for two years and looking to get a 6th Gen Camaro here. I've been researching for about a month now and would to seek your opinions on when I should make the purchase to get the best deal.

I'm looking for a New/Used 2016-2018 Camaro with RS package, preferably Nightfall grey or Summit White. Budget about 21-23k before taxes and other fees.

With the 2019 Camaro coming out early Fall, I'm wondering what kind of incentives and rebates would there be to clear left over 2018 stock and would this also affect and lower the prices of used 6th Gen?



Research options:

Used 2017 CPO, 22.5k

Used 2017 CPO, 22k

Used 2017 CPO, 24k

Used 2018 non CPO, 22.5k

Used 2018 non CPO, 23.5k

New 2018, 26k

TLDR: Buy now a used/new Camaro now (1-2k below KBB fair price) or wait till 2019 one is out in September to get a better deal?

THANK YOU

First of all, welcome AFAIK it isn't really possible to predict upcoming incentives, but I'd wait as long as possible for a better deal on a used 2018 once 2019's are out in full force.

(Not sure if you have a US driver license, but in case you don't, make sure you get it first or you'll get massacred on insurance, don't even think of using an international license.)

Thanks for your input! I guess I'll try to wait till end Aug/early Sept. The used 2017s keeps dropping and it's so tempting!

21.5k now ><

If I were you, I'd consider a 2018 for two reasons:

1. Factory warranty. Unless you get a really low mileage '17, there's a good chance you'll find an '18 with lower mileage.

2. Less chance of potential issues. It's still too early to know for certain, but more than likely, a lot of the early TSBs would have already been done.

Thanks! Whats considered low mileage, below 20k? Is it reasonable to pay 21-23k for a used 2018 one?

Check out carfax and cargurus. I've seen them with mileage under 10k for 22-23k. Not sure what your budget limit is.
