How much does the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro cost?

Prices have held steady compared to this time last year, signaling a stable and predictable market for this model year.

There are 1,286 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro a good car?

Generally — 4.38/5 from owners and 7.33/10 from experts points to a Camaro that lands well with shoppers who want style and driving enjoyment. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Technology.

Owners repeatedly praise the sporty design, smooth ride, powerful performance, advanced technology, and handling. The overview also frames this Camaro as a completely redesigned car with updated looks, a better interior, and modern infotainment, which makes it especially appealing if you want a fresh-feeling coupe rather than a carryover.

At the same time, the overview and owner feedback both point to practicality tradeoffs, especially visibility and cabin space. That makes it a stronger fit if you value driving character and modern features more than everyday spaciousness.

29.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there is still some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro reliable?

Owners rate it 4.38/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction. The owner summary also points to a car that feels dependable in the ways that matter most to enthusiasts: strong performance, smooth ride quality, and a package many drivers feel good about living with over time.

The expert drive notes reinforce that sense of durability by describing the Camaro as a refined redesign built on a shared platform with the Cadillac CTS and ATS. The cost-effectiveness notes also highlight a first scheduled maintenance visit that is on the house, which helps soften early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright mechanical drama and more about whether the car has been cared for consistently, especially given its performance-oriented nature.

What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Chevrolet Camaro?

At 53.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a close inspection of body panels, alignment, and any signs of prior repair. Because visibility is a known weakness, it also makes sense to test the car in real-world driving conditions and make sure the cabin layout works for you.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The 2LT adds push-button start, an 8-way power driver’s seat, heated and ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control, a Bose premium stereo, and the 8-inch MyLink touchscreen, while the Convenience and Lighting package adds rear park assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alerts. If you want the best mix of comfort and features, the 2LT is the strongest value.
• Powertrain: You can choose a turbocharged inline 4-cylinder with 275 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, a 3.6-liter V6 with 335 horsepower and 284 pound-feet of torque, or a 6.2-liter LT1 V8 with 455 horsepower and 455 lb-ft of torque. The turbo four with the 8-speed automatic is the efficiency leader at 22 mpg city, 31 highway, 25 combined.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes StabiliTrak stability control, traction control, advanced dual-stage airbags, and a backup camera. The Convenience and Lighting package adds rear park assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alerts.
• Infotainment: The Camaro uses an 8-inch MyLink touchscreen, and the system supports CarPlay. The tech setup also includes a head-up display that can show speed, radio info, engine RPM, and turn-by-turn directions.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbo four with the 8-speed automatic returns 22 mpg city, 31 highway, 25 combined. The V6 automatic returns 19 mpg city, 28 highway, 23 combined. The V8 SS with a manual returns 16 mpg city, 25 highway, 19 combined.

Which 2016 Chevrolet Camaro trim should I buy?

The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro is offered in 3 trim levels: 2LT, SS, and 2LT V6.

Here's the short version:

• 2LT: This is the best-value choice if you want the Camaro’s modern cabin and daily comfort features without jumping to V8 pricing. It brings the strongest mix of equipment, and the available V6 makes it the most balanced pick for many shoppers.
• SS: Choose this if you want the full muscle-car experience, since it gets the 6.2-liter LT1 V8 with 455 horsepower and 455 lb-ft of torque. It is the right call if performance matters more than efficiency.
• 2LT V6: This is the sweet spot if you want stronger performance than the turbo four and better everyday usability than the SS. It pairs the 3.6-liter V6 with a well-equipped cabin and is the most compelling compromise for many buyers.

The safety package note to keep in mind is that rear park assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alerts were part of the Convenience and Lighting package rather than standard equipment.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Chevrolet Camaro?

This is a moderate market, so you can be selective without expecting a deep buyer’s market.

• Deal availability: 29.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,286 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 53.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $21,025, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro's resale value?

The current average of $23,247 is in line with last year's $23,247.

That kind of flat pricing suggests the market has already settled into a stable range for this model year. For a future seller, that usually means you should expect resale value to depend more on condition, mileage, and equipment than on broad market appreciation.

Well-kept examples with desirable features and clean history should remain easier to move than rougher cars with accident records or missing equipment. If you buy carefully now, you give yourself a better chance of protecting value later.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.38/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro safe?

The Camaro earns a Top Safety Pick rating from IIHS and a five-star overall rating from NHTSA.

It earns a 5/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes StabiliTrak stability control, traction control, advanced dual-stage airbags, and a backup camera. The Convenience and Lighting package adds rear park assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alerts.

The main caveat is visibility: the Camaro’s thick pillars and limited sight lines are a real drawback, and that shortcoming is worth taking seriously when you test-drive one.

Should I buy a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2016 if:

• 29.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 53.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.38/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• It’s a completely redesigned Camaro with a better interior, updated looks, and modern infotainment.

Consider the 2017 if:

• At $23,729, the 2017 costs more than the current year's $23,247 average.
• It emphasizes a more aggressive, excitement-first personality with limited practicality.

The bottom line: If you want the better value play, the 2016 is the smarter starting point because pricing is stable and inventory is healthy. If you are willing to pay more for a slightly newer model and can live with the same basic tradeoffs, the 2017 is the secondary path for buyers who prioritize the newer-year badge over price.
