I bought the G8 used for $20K in 2008 with 8000 miles on it. It's basically the same car as the new Camaro so it's a better value. Plus three years later it's worth $21K so I'd say it was a good investment.

A little high? You'd rather save 9k by buying a 9yr old car (fbody to boot) over one with a warranty and better in every department? But you're happy so that's all that matters.

those are really clean and pretty impressive that they only have 40 miles... but definitely not worth 85000 EACH!

I sure bet it's nice, I definitely wouldn't put any miles on it. It's all what you want, I've had some people look at me stupid on how much I pay for trucks with 220,000 miles, but that's just what some **** is worth.

I have seen big dragons car up in person and it is THE CLEANEST car I have ever worked on. Rear diff was spotless! Undercarriage spotless! Engine bay spotless! I have worked on hundreds of cars from vettes, G8s, gto's other fbodys and new model camaros and this one was breath taking. I was nervous just working on it and putting my hand prints on it lol!
