Default Pewter 99k SS, $7,995. 136K A4. Fishy?

Well there is a pewter SS for sale at a dealer in dallas. The car looks good from the pics. It's an A4 with 136K on the clock. Supposedly everything works on the car that's supposed to. It sits on chrome ZR1's and looks like it has borla catback but i cant tell 100% from the pics. The car is set 2 grand under the kbb price AND has been on the lot for a month.

At that price you have nothing to loose! The headlights can be polished out, I did mine and they look brand new.

looks decent. just do a background check and see! I am sure the auto will have some problems with that many miles before too long but who knows...looks like a clean interior but im sure the speakers are trashed as usual but that shouldn't cost much if thats important to you

it comes with a carfax report, i saw something on speed once about using tooth paste to "revive" your headlights.

The car was bought by a company and used in it's "fleet" so that explains all the miles. I want to atleast look at the thing because its a nice car and maybe get a decent amount of money for my car.

I was goin to get that car if my mom wouldve let me sell the lt1 i think i made a thread about this car already i couldnt tell if it was a real ss cause there are no pics of the inside door. All you need is a rebuild or seamfoam treatment and you will be fine

The price seems fine, its an 8 year old car with close to a 140K miles, it also doesnt look that clean, the interior looks worn judging by the carpet and the head lights are in bad shape. Thats probably about what that cars worth in that kind of shape.

Um, that sounds really suspect to me. I've never known anybody to have a fully loaded SS Camaro as a comapny car.

I like it especialy the stains on the floor by the back seats really sets the interior off. But for real seems like a pretty good deal, i would buy it if i was in the market for a camaro can't go wrong with that color either
