I bought my 2011 Camaro 2SS last fall and put my 1999 Camaro Z28 in storage for the winter. I was hoping to keep both but the storage, insurance, maintenance, etc., was a bit more than I thought and my garage and driveway is filled with my daily driver, my 2011, and kid's car. I finally put it up for sale and sold it in less than 24 hours of posting for asking price. I was looking for an excuse to back out and I think the guy saw the look on my face and didn’t even try to haggle. It’s been gone for over a month now I’m having regrets about selling it now that it’s summer cruising time but I had to deal with priorities. I think I’ll get another 4th gen in a few years once I retire, just to play around with as a hobby.

I have been on this site for more than a decade and it’s been a great source of information for both the 1997 and 1999 Camaros I’ve owned. I’m over on Camaro5 now but I’ll still lurk here ever so often.

Like Arnold says, “I’ll be back!”

I have mixed feelings. I’m mainly a cruiser so the added straight line performance isn’t a big deal for me. As far as looks, I got just as many, if not more compliments on my 1999 as I do with the 2011, and clean 4th gens are rare nowadays while 5th gens are a dime a dozen, especially in Michigan. The 5th gen is obviously a better built and more up to date car, but my 4th gen was dead reliable since it was pretty much stock. I definitely use the 5th gen more as a daily driver than my 4th gen which was more of a toy than transpoation, but there was SOMETHING about the 4th gen that was special, maybe because it was a simple, old school ride. I may ended up modding the 5th gen at some point because I hear it’s a LOT easier to work on, especially bolt ones. One thing for certain is that the 4th gen was WAY better on gas!

No problem. I got $6500 for it, no bargaining and it sold within 24 hours to the first person. I definitely could have gotten about a grand more but it was getting close to new clutch and new license plate time so I didn’t really push it.It had 105k miles on it.

Again, the key to these cars is getting a non-molested or butchered car. That’s the first thing that potential buyers asked.

It’s funny, I was really worried about the same thing but it hasn’t been a problem at all. I also have a sunroof so it’s not dark or dungeon like. The worst thing about it, especially compared to my 4th gen, is the retro instrument panel. It’s horrible and basically non usable. I was warned that I should definitely get a 2011 when the HUD became standard and it’s was wise advice because that’s pretty much what I look at.
