Buying used 2016 2SS vert
Hello All,
I am buying a 2016 2SS vert tomorrow. What should I checkout on the vert before buying? I never owned a convertible before just want to make sure I know what I am getting myself into. I have owned a V6 2013 Camaro before I recently totaled it out. I been driving a Toyota for while and I am itching to get back in a camaro. |

One of the biggest issues is the rear glass adhesive failing.
https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=519083 The next issue is the flappers that open and near seat belt retractor. They typically bind open when the top is open. They should close for a nice clean look. Other than that, some minor squeaks, rattles and air noise can be expected. I’d look for water in the trunk area and run my hands all around the interior rug surface,feeling for dampness. In my case, my passenger door glass clips the top a bit. Not a huge deal since it’s the passenger side. Good luck, awesome car |

Pull the trigger today
I caught a bus to NC and then had the dealership courtesy service pick me up and I purchase my 2016 2SS hyper blue. I finally upgrade from 2LS V6 2013 I bought new. I really like the technology and the convertible top drove fours with top down back to Georgia.

Hyper Blue is the best color. Congrats!
Trivia: Hyper Blue is the 4th popular color, after Red, Black & White. It's also discontinued for 2019 as Riverside Blue is new, about 2/mini shades darker. |

Nice Ride thats the colour I would have picked given a choice. Still like the looks of the red bumblebee, but I really like the blue as well.
