Wow. If $16K is an amazing deal for a 2010 with codes and dubious mods, I should be asking twice that for my virgin 2010 2SS with 86K and no codes.

Wow, that was an informative post. 16K for a lower mile SS is a steal these days. I paid more for my first 52K SS 4 years ago before the market took off. A few hundred dollars worth of tuning will have the codes cleared up. Your 86K “virgin” still has 86K on it. Maybe no mods but still 86k.

The other cool thing that brought my spirits back up is I found the original window sticker. Guy didn't even mention that it was an SS/RS and I didn't know enough by the badging and interior when buying it. So I'll trade the codes for the surprise RS package. |

Now if that was the case wouldn't he have kept his tuner? I might be misunderstanding what you're saying. He wound up giving me the flashpaq tuner. I'm thinking the tuner he bought didn't quite fix the codes but allowed him to at least clear them for the time being. I've bought and sold quite a few vehicles through years and nothing screams dishonest like codes popping up within the first 50 miles of driving the vehicle. Regardless of how easy of fix this is going to be I still think it's pretty dishonest. But luckily since all of you are so awesome and explained it to me it no longer feels as big of an issue. Glad I found this community. |

As noted before, based on what you're saying, you got a fantastic deal, no doubt about it. As for this community, you won't find a better group of folks willing to impart their wisdom and daily Camaro shenanigans. But one thing else about these guys - they can be brutally honest so just know that with great wisdom comes great honesty. (Thank you Stan Lee.)

You can order a programmer, then get a custom tune for the headers. It's super easy to do it yourself. This is the SCT Camaro Programmer & this is the link to the Phastek Custom SCT Tune.

With the extra money the seller. could have went and bought another tuner for whatever car was next for him. Not sure if I’d go with dishonest but certainly not fully transparent, IDK either way pretty shitty.

I contacted two local performance shops (that supposedly tune and dyno) and they acted like the two EVAP codes couldn’t possibly have to do with the long tube headers and were totally different issues (like an exhaust leak). Essentially stated I needed to get the evap codes fixed before they could tune my vehicle. Granted neither specialized in Camaro tunes. |

I see what you're going for there but when it comes to valuation, the folks who do the valuating for loans don't care who owned it, it's mileage and apparent condition all the way.
I'm going to be 60 on my next birthday and my 13 SS has 112K on the clock. No way no how, would I sell that car to a friend unless they insisted. It has some really hard miles on her.
