2010 Camaro SS vs 2005 Corvette
Hi,
I am new to the forum and I do know I will get biased answers for this but I want to see how many camaro owners switched from corvettes to camaros and have not looked back. I plan to use either as daily drivers when I can, but I would like to see what you guys have to say. I would also want to know if thats a good price for the camaro as well, I feel that kbb does no justice for a car value at times. 2010 Camaro 2SS price: $18,500 -45k miles -has all service records and receipts -two owner car (I Would be 3rd owner) - white exterior/ black interior -6 speed manual -bone stock no mods 2005 Corvette 3LT price: $16,000 -109k miles all major services done -has service records and receipts -a three owner car (I would be the fourth) -lemans blue/tan interior -6 speed manual -straight pipe exhaust -grand sport rims Im located in California around San Jose, so if that would be a determining factor for the price as well. I am curious to see how many people have made the transition between the two. I would also use the car to commute to school most of the time which is a 30 mile round trip. Thanks in advance! |

The vette is 11 years old, has over 100K miles and is modified. Your choice is clear. Scott

Personal preference. I wouldn't want the older Vette with high mileage. But the Camaro
price is top retail for a std transmission and I assume no options and non sunroof car.

This is coming from someone who just bought a Vette. I wouldn't buy a 2005 Vette with 100k miles on it. In this situation your better choice is the Camaro

I would normally say get the Corvette but not in this case. If the C6 had Z51 on it I would lean more towards it but since the Camaro has only 45k miles on it, I would choose it. And I agree with the above, tan interior is ugly on any car IMO.

Great price on the Vette !!
When it all comes down to it, In a couple years the Vette'll be worth more than the Camaro--And easier to sell too !!!

Personally 110k on the Vette would steer me clear of it.
