| Post subject: | Questions about a Camaro |
Hello all, Firstly, I have been toying around with getting a Camaro for a long time. At the weekend, I was able to view a 3.6 Camaro and was very impressed. So much so that I want to buy it. I have a few questions, and can't find any suitable answers. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. My first question is: how much is the vehicle excise on this vehicle? DVLA do not allow me to search for it on their website. My second question is: I notice from Chevrolet UK that the Camaro has been discontinued. Is this just as a European release or forever? My last question: Have any generation 5 owners had any negative responses when driving, and having your car parked in a public place? A few (quite negative nellies) friends have suggested that owning a car like this would be like driving around with a 'scratch here' target. I dont believe this is likely for the majority of places I would visit. However, I do intend to use it as my main vehicle ( I walk to work). If anyone can help, that would be wonderful. Many thanks. Paul |

They have discontinued it in Europe but are or have just released the 6th gen in America , most people I find like to look at them not scratch them it's not like a Lamborghini or Bentley where you are making a financial statement to people and I have never heard of a camaro being keyed up by anyone. As much as you love the one you viewed for resale value further down the line I would strongly suggest investing your money in a V8 rather than a V6, there will be a negligible difference in fuel economy and any petrol heads will want a V8 in the future. Have a look on flea bay and check out the price difference between a 4th gen V6 and a 4th gen V8 and the difference will be obvious |

Hi Paul, I think the tax will be £230 a year if its a American import not a sold from new UK spec car. If it is a UK spec car then I would expect it to be nasty, £450? I don't think you'd have a problem with people damaging your car. Most people have a good response to Yank motors. Can you tell us how much you are looking to spend on this V6? Just curious how much they are going for. |

Hi thanks for you responses. The Tax, I finally go through to DVLA and they confirmed it was £230 for the year, I was very happy at this as my Meriva is £205 (yes to my shame I own a Vauxhall Meriva). This one is retailing at £19,950 from a dealer, which I feel is a bargain. |
