How much does the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro cost?

Prices have softened 4.50% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,283 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro a good car?

Generally — the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro earns a 4.4/5 user rating and a 7.3/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Technology.

Owners consistently praise the sporty design, smooth ride, powerful performance, advanced technology, and handling. The Camaro’s redesigned cabin and modern infotainment setup also fit buyers who want a more contemporary feel in a classic pony-car package.

The overview points to a car that blends sporty style with a more modern interior and exterior, while still delivering the performance and handling you expect from the nameplate. At the same time, the cabin can feel cramped and visibility can be a real drawback, so it suits you best if style and driving enjoyment matter more than everyday spaciousness.

31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which suggests there are worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro reliable?

Owners rate it 4.4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner summary points to a car that feels dependable in the ways that matter most to shoppers: strong performance, a smooth ride, and a package many drivers are happy to live with over time. It also highlights the Camaro’s advanced technology and handling, which can make the car feel well sorted in daily use.

The expert drive notes reinforce that sense of confidence by describing the Camaro as a refined, modern redesign with a platform shared with Cadillac models. That kind of underlying engineering can be reassuring if you want a used sports coupe that feels more mature than its styling suggests.

If you’re buying used, the main long-term ownership risk is less about outright mechanical drama and more about whether the car has been cared for consistently and driven in a way that matches its performance-oriented nature.

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

At 48.9% 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 careful inspection of body panels, alignment, and any signs of prior repair. Because visibility is a known weakness, it’s also worth checking that the camera and driver-assistance features work properly and that the car’s condition matches the seller’s description.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The 2LT automatic 4-cylinder 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. That makes it the most compelling value if you want a better-equipped Camaro without jumping to the highest-priced setups.
• Powertrain: The base engine is a turbocharged inline 4-cylinder with 275 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, and you can also choose a 3.6-liter V6 with 335 horsepower and 284 pound-feet of torque. The V6 is described as a fun compromise between performance, efficiency, and practicality.
• 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 includes CarPlay. The tech setup is described as one of the better infotainment systems available, with a tablet-like layout and large icons.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbo four with the 8-speed automatic returns 22 mpg city, 31 highway, and 25 combined. The V6 automatic test car achieves 19 mpg city, 28 highway, and 23 combined.

Which 2016 Chevrolet Camaro trim should I buy?

The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro is offered in 1 trim level: 2LT.

Here's the short version:

The 2LT: This is the trim that stands out in the data because it layers in the most useful everyday equipment, including heated and ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control, a Bose premium stereo, push-button start, and the 8-inch MyLink touchscreen. It’s the best-value choice if you want the Camaro’s style and performance with a more livable feature set.

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, not standard equipment.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,283 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.50% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 48.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $21,031, 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 $21,508 sits slightly below last year's $22,520.

That softer pricing trend suggests the Camaro is currently more buyer-friendly than it was a year ago, which can help you if you’re shopping now. For a future seller, it also means resale value may depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the car has been maintained.

Because the market still shows meaningful demand and a sizable inventory base, a clean, well-kept Camaro should remain easier to move than a neglected one. If you buy carefully now, you’ll be in a better position later when it’s time to sell.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro safe?

The Camaro comes with safety features such as StabiliTrak stability control, traction control, advanced dual-stage airbags, and a standard backup camera.

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

The Convenience and Lighting package adds rear park assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alerts, which help offset some of the Camaro’s visibility challenges. That said, the car’s poor outward visibility remains the biggest safety caveat in the expert notes, so you should pay close attention to sight lines during a test drive.

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:

• 31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 48.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.50% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2016 brings a completely redesigned body, a better interior, and updated infotainment.

Consider the 2017 if:

• At $23,578, the 2017 costs more than the current year's $21,508 average.
• It adds a more intense, high-energy personality with tighter space and stronger enthusiast appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2016 is the smarter starting point because it combines a lower average price with strong owner satisfaction and a redesigned cabin. If you’re willing to spend more for a newer-year feel and a more intense personality, the 2017 is the alternative to compare.

How does the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro compare to the 2016 Ford Mustang?

Our experts score the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro 7.3/10 and the 2016 Ford Mustang 7.5/10. The Mustang edges ahead on expert score, but the Camaro counters with stronger city fuel economy and a more modern redesign. If you want the lower average used price and a sharper interior update, the Camaro is compelling; if you want the slightly better overall expert score and more listings, the Mustang has the edge.
