What milage is too high when buying a 5th Gen Camaro SS ?

I’ve gotten this question several times, hope this helps !

I drove my 2010 2ss automatic to exactly 199, 998 miles before trading it in 😂 bought it at 100k miles only issue I ever had was a hose blow and that was it 👌

A buddy of mine has a 2014 with 200k+. Runs great. It’s the bumble bee edition I believe.

I bought an LS1 in 2006. It was only firing on 3 cylinders. Changed the plus and all fluids, ran like brand new, no issues the whole 5 years of ownership. That’s when I was sold on the LS!

I bought my 2SS at 162k (currently at 164, 400) miles and I love it. Previous owner had to change the timing chain, oil pump, and rear main seal, but thats expected at this high of mileage. Only other complaint is the differential bushing is worn out, you can feel a strong thump when flooring it anywhere from 0-20.

But it’s been great to me so far. Doesn’t burn oil, doesn’t make any concerning noises like rod knock. It’s fast as hell, it’s earned me my first and second speeding ticket lol. The fastest car I was used to was a 2006 charger r/t before this car. Definitely recommend this sports car to anyone in the market, you won’t be disappointed

I got a 2011 2SS with 34k miles for just under 30k. Really no mods to speak of other than an axle back exhaust. I've done a few minor things to it, but it's a beauty! Worth every penny!

I have a 14 Spring Edition SS/RS 29k miles. I bought it with 9k miles. Never had 1 problem and she’s beautiful. Yours is very beautiful as well brother.

I just bought a manual 2012 SS with 114k miles for 15k. Only had winter tires, so I had to buy another set of wheels off eBay, but they are in great shape. Car is clean as can be and in fantastic condition. Tiny bit of rust on the rear quarter but easily fixed. Engine bay looks brand new. I'm gonna change all the fluids, just to be safe, maybe change the plugs too. Honestly though, it runs great and I love it! It's all black and pretty much looks exactly like this car.

Currently got 81k+ miles on my L99 and had it since 76k miles. Never had a major issue other than changing oil pan gaskets and dropping the tank due to contaminated gas. These cars are reliable across any mileage range as long as it wasn't dogged out. Even saying that, they take a good beating.

I just picked up my 2010 ss automatic 4 month's ago with 58, 000 miles for 25, 000 financed and loving it. It came with a big k&N intake and hooker long tube headers, x pipe, borla attack and its definitely tune from what i was told. Now i gotta figured how to smog it when it come around to it out here in LA...Lol...Its always been my dream car so far just changed the brakes all around. Its not my daily so it will be a while before i hit 100k. Im new to the channel love your camaro i was looking for a black one but settled for a white one.

Bought mine with 153k miles. No issues but still did the following: FBO, tune, gearing, replaced the entire cooling system with the mishimoto kit, turnone power steering pump after blowing the stock pump, ngk spark plugs, replaced the entire front suspension and lowered the car (I drive way too hard and eventually going to do it legit with coilovers). the only thing I have to do now is replace an o2 sensor, and other hoses just due to age. All basic maintenance and the belts are up to date. Eventually I’ll get to doing internals when I go to do cam and heads. As for the exterior it definitely needs cleaning up tho and I’ll be changing out the coil packs too. Car runs great and everything has been done in the past 2yrs since getting the car. Love this car

2013 2SS here. 101k miles on it. The only issue was the AC compressor went out about 2 weeks ago. Replaced plumbing, AC compressor, refrigerate refill, AC condensor and flushed the metal shavings out of the system.

Aside from that it runs like a dream. As long as you take care of it's maintenance and dont dog it all the time, it'll last a very long time.

[Mhargani]

mine is currently @ 196k miles and still runs good just did a spark plug change an a pcv hose in the manifold changed

[Travisisaac]

Love my 2011 ss/rs bought it with 50k now it has almost 100k, drove 50k miles in a little over a year with no issues besides a battery and pedal sensor. These are great cars reliable and can definitely take a beating thinking about boost soon

[thebossnocompetition]

i just bought one 2015 SS with just 2800 miles on it.
Looking forward to build up a few more miles.
the comments below looks promising :)

The good thing with these cars if you buy them here in Sweden is that almost all have low milages on them.
people here only drive them a few months in the summer.
and they also change owners every year.

11 2SS from 127k to running 140k rn, still runs like a BEAST, No changes at all

[ssfanatic]

Mine is a 2014 with 192k miles. No lights and doesn't use any fluids. I won't cam it or anything but it runs perfect

[ryanmax-grappler]

I was stupid and bought a camaro ss 2010 model with 189k miles 😢for 14500 in 2020. Figured why not since covid could get me. Dumb decision ever. Well 2 and 8 months later the car has 217k miles on it on the original motor and tranny. I do maintenance on it like change the oil. Only major thing i did was change thw starter. Does now have a burning smell of oil when i use my heater. Might be able to get another 10 to 15k miles on it. I hope

[corybrott]

Picked up my 2010 SS 6mt for 10k at 150k almost 2 years ago and still runs great nothing changed

[USSInferno]

I got mine this year. It’s a 2010 2ss L99 with 35k miles.stock eith borla atak exhaust, intake, coilovers, rims, and tints $23k. I love it

Ive been turning wrenches 42 years and I was young once believe it or not lol. If I am reading a add and the add list all the power add on's and high mileage Id keep walking . This 80% time screams young rodder that's been ragging on the car hard. Idc how tough any engine or equipment is if you work it hard said life expectancy will be lowered. Just like us we smoke we drink heavy etc we will shorten our life. If buying high mileage Id prefer a older owner and 100% stock and if inside and body clean pretty good sign taken care of. Buy a car with your brain not your eyes.
