WIW? 2002 Camaro SS.
WIW? 2002 Camaro SS. Just curious to see what you guys would value my recent purchase. I have no intentions of selling it, just kind of wondering if I got a decent deal.
Anyway, it's a black 2002 Camaro SS auto with 33K. Two owner car with a clean carfax. No accidents. Car is very clean with only minor stone chips on the front end. Interior is immaculate and the car is 100% stock!
Here's a few pics.

That's a beautiful example. You shouldn't worry about what you paid for it unless it was priced way too high. Other factors include how long you plan on owning it. If short term plans then you certainly don't want to pay too much but if plans indicate a 5 year or longer ownership experience then it will all average out pretty well. It also depends whether you paid retail at a dealership or bought it from a private party. You almost always pay more at a dealer but if it is the exact car you wanted, paying a few grand over 'private party' is expected.
With all that said and done, a price range from $13,000 - $14,000 would certainly be OK for a low mileage two owner 'stock' example from a private party. I could see paying right up to $15,500 at a dealership, maybe even $16,500 if the car was everything you wanted and was truly in excellent condition. Retail is never fun to pay but in the long run can be worth it as I stated above.
I hope this price range is OK with what you paid. I certainly don't want to put a damper on your day, but you asked and I want to be helpful.

I purchased it from a dealer, they were INITIALLY asking $14,995 for it. I watched it at that price for about a month or so. They later lowered the price and that's when I ended up buying it.
Taking everything into consideration, I don't think I did bad at all. What I really think helped with the price was the fact that I bought it in December. While that may be a nice month to buy a RWD V8 car in the south it's a little rougher in the Midwest. LOL!
I'm sure the dealer would have had no problem asking the above mentioned 16,500+ in the summer!
Regardless, I think I did very well.
