2020 Camaro under $30,000
Good evening all,
I'm in the process of buying a 20' Camaro 1SS with 60k miles listed at 29k. It had two owners, constant oil changes every 5k miles. From experience are the LT1 engines with AFM pretty reliable at this mileage and higher? My another question is, does this price seem like a fair deal given the year and mileage. I checked the value online & it said it's worth 29k but I also know that prices are all over the place. Thanks,

5k oil changes are a bit "high" for me, even on all my family daily driver cars we do 3,000 mile oil changes..

Is it an A10 or an M6? Does it have Dual Mode Exhaust (NPP), what other options does it have? (Sunroof, Magnetic Ride Control, Navigation, etc..) What color is it? Need a LOT more information...

Drive it for at least 15 minutes, get everything warmed up, and step on it. It's the only way to know.
Also, look at the interest rates... Some friends were looking at used cars lately but with new car incentives and high rates for used cars, if you do your research, you might end up paying the same for a new Mustang Gt than a used camaro or similar used sports car. I know we're all camaro fans, but some deals out there don't make any sense. |

According to KBB the car in good condition with that mileage is worth what you are paying for it. I just let the KBB site pick the standard options for a 1SS that year.
If the original owner used the factory recommended full synthetic oil 5000 mile oil changes are going to be fine, that falls well within factory spec. People around here can get a bit over the top on car maintenance (including myself) but the motor should be fine as long as it was left in factory settings. Personally red flags for me are tunes and mods but only you here have seen and driven the car so best of luck with your purchase.

5k oil change intervals with the recommended oil are fine. Even better that it's been documented. 60k miles on a 2020 suggests it may have been driven regularly for a commute. Nothing wrong with that.
With a used car, condition is everything. A GM/Chevy dealer should be able to pull a GM VIS report showing service and warranty repairs completed at GM dealers. Carfax should show ownership history and accident history. Also check the car over real well for any accident history that may not have been reported. Most cars are just fine...but it's important to be vigilant during the purchase process for the ones that aren't ok! |
