Hello. New to gen 5

DeLong · 03-14-2021, 05:45 PM

Just picked up a bone stock 2012 SS 2ss/rs. Convertible. 2 owner ( 2nd owner was an older woman that traded it due to needing room for grandkids)car with clean carfax. It has 80,000 miles on it and I paid 19g . It was on the higher side but used car values are going crazy here and I got good value out of my trade. What do you guys think of the price?

Ive been reading a lot of threads and Im going to do the following to start:
-SCT X4 tune from dyno steve to get rid of the afm & liven this up a bit.
- Header panel repair to fix a rattle in the top.

Im new to modern muscle cars. I have a 65 & 67 mustang fastback Ive owned for 30 years that I work on and consider myself an average mechanic.

Looking forward to learning about these cars and hope to contribute in time.

Thanks in advance. .

Welcome to the family! Love that a grandma put 80K on an SS/RS convertible.
Where are you located in IL? I'm in QC area.

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!
