I'm assuming you've been tracking the price the Chevy SS is going for right?
Decent mileage (doesn't have to be super low) examples are going for mid 30s or more. When I bought my 2016 Camaro SS at the end of 2015, I remember seeing some SS cars on dealer lots. They were not selling, so they were marked WAY under MSRP. I could have bought one for basically the same price that I spent on my 1SS Camaro (roughly 38K after the little $1,500 discount I got on it which at the time was good). Assuming I had bought the SS instead, and put similar miles on it as my Camaro has now, it would be worth MORE than I had paid for it originally.
If only I could go back and convince myself to buy the SS. But it wasn't as exciting to look at (although with a few quick mods I think they look great...and being rare helps a lot too), and it was still using the LS3 instead of the LT1 that my Camaro has. Those things made it easy for me to overlook the SS at the time.
