A dealer in this area has a new '16 SS vert for $13,200 below MSRP if that tells you anything.

Don't know if this will help, but here is a list of 2016 SS for sale from Baltimore area dealers. Maybe you can find what you're looking for. Or, maybe you'll find something better.

Good Luck!

I get that it has a warranty, but I am planning on keeping it for the long haul and knowing my luck... well... I am bummed.

Pull up a carfax and look to see if it was purchased, if not maybe it was a loaner (doubtful). I would seriously red flag a car thats traded in after only 2k miles, although it may have been some 20 year old who couldnt make payments.

As for being driven hard comments, you people would have done the same! After being in these forums long enough, I would never buy a used V8 Camaro - too much "drive like you stole it" nonsense. These are keeper cars with little long term value retention, same for GT mustangs. Seeing these end of year markdown amounts, pretty much seals that reality. Corvettes they are not!

I bought something like that for my wife a couple years ago, BAD IDEA! Nothing but trouble.

I bought a Tahoe in the same "new" condition..the owners drove it to Florida on vacay. It worked out well for me saved a ton cash..you probably need save more ..esp with 20%

dpevans · 11-02-2016, 03:28 PM

depends. do you plan on keeping past the warranty? If so I would think twice. buy for a couple years and trade up before end of warranty, why not. GM honors the warranty when you take the car to the track. that counts for something.

I'm with GW6, the car has it's full warranty so anything you will find is covered. I find myself amazed by some of the comments this site gets from all kinds of sea lawyers. Besides that there are a number of people on this site that recommend breaking in a car "hard"! I don't, but there are plenty of them. NADA has a used SS pretty well dressed with 2000 miles running around $37,500. In the end though you have to be your own judge.

Run run away... you don't know how was the car treated, don't care if the car is 40,000 cheaper, you just never ****ing know.

Use part of the savings to buy an extended bumper to bumper warranty that covers you.
