How much does the 2017 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 1,254 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro a good car?

Yes — you’re looking at a 4.74/5 user-rated car with an 8.17/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Performance at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise its stunning looks, impressive power, thrilling performance, fast acceleration, and handling. The Camaro’s appeal is strongest if you want a car that feels special from behind the wheel rather than one that prioritizes everyday practicality.

That lines up with the car’s use case: it’s a style-first, excitement-first coupe with limited utility, so it makes the most sense if you value driving drama over space. Good and great deals make up 27.8% of listings, which suggests there’s still some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro reliable?

Owners rate it 4.74/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a car that many drivers feel good about living with, especially when it comes to its strong performance and overall appeal. The review summary also highlights smooth ride quality and advanced technology, which can support confidence in day-to-day use.

From the expert side, the Camaro is described as a car that can be driven hard with confidence, and the performance writeup emphasizes its composed behavior and serious capability. The cost-effectiveness notes also suggest that the Camaro can deliver a lot of performance for the money, which matters if you’re thinking about long-term ownership value.

For used buyers, the main risk is less about basic durability and more about how hard the car may have been driven and maintained.

What should I look for when buying a used 2017 Chevrolet Camaro?

At 57.6% 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, paint consistency, and any signs of prior repair. Because this car is often bought for performance, it’s also smart to focus on wear items that can reveal hard use, including tires, brakes, and clutch feel if applicable.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SS 1LE adds aggressive exterior detailing, a matte-finish hood to reduce glare, black exterior accents, Satin Graphite wheels, and a more focused driving setup than the standard car.
• Powertrain: The SS 1LE uses a 6.2-liter V8 with 455 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque, and the package is also described as available with LS or LT models equipped with a V6.
• Safety package: The car includes Teen Driver and a reversing camera as standard equipment, while blind-spot warning with lane-change assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear parking-assist sensors are optional.
• Infotainment: The Camaro uses an 8-inch touchscreen with MyLink, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; the system also supports OnStar services and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.
• Fuel efficiency: The expert test loop returned 18.6 mpg, and the trip computer showed 16.5 mpg after a week of driving; the cost-effectiveness content also cites 19 mpg in combined driving and 20 mpg in combined driving for the LS 1LE setup.

Which 2017 Chevrolet Camaro trim should I buy?

The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro is offered in 2 trim levels: LS, SS.

Here's the short version:

• LS: This is the entry point, and it’s the trim to focus on if you want the Camaro experience at the lowest starting price. It’s the value play if you care more about getting into the car than loading up on extras.
• SS: This is the better choice if you want the stronger V8 character and the more serious performance personality that defines the Camaro at its best. It’s the trim that best matches the car’s enthusiast mission.

The safety content notes that the Camaro does not include automatic emergency braking or automatic steering intervention, while a reversing camera is standard and other driver-assistance features are optional.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 Chevrolet Camaro?

This is a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without expecting a deep buyer’s-market discount.

• Deal availability: 27.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,254 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 57.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $21,913, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro's resale value?

The current average of $23,729 sits slightly above last year's $23,670.

That small increase suggests the Camaro has held its value fairly well, which is a good sign if you plan to sell later. Stable pricing also points to steady demand rather than a market that is weakening quickly.

Because the model has a strong enthusiast following and a clear performance identity, well-kept examples should continue to attract attention. Cars with cleaner histories and stronger equipment are likely to be easier to move when it’s your turn to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.74/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro safe?

The Camaro earns five-star ratings from the federal government for the 4-cylinder and V6 models, and in IIHS testing it gets an Acceptable roof-strength result rather than a top score.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

The Camaro includes Teen Driver and a reversing camera as standard equipment. Optional safety features include blind-spot warning with lane-change assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear parking-assist sensors.

One important caveat is that the car does not offer automatic emergency braking or automatic steering assistance, so you should not expect the kind of active safety tech that some newer rivals provide.

Should I buy a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2017 if:

• 27.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 57.6% 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 4.74/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The expert summary emphasizes the Camaro’s dramatic, performance-first personality and its track-focused appeal.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $23,247, the 2016 costs less than the current year's $23,729 average.
• It’s a redesigned Camaro with updated looks, a better interior, and newer infotainment tech.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-market balance of price stability, owner satisfaction, and enthusiast appeal, the 2017 is the better default choice. If your priority is spending a bit less up front, the 2016 is the sensible alternative, especially if you find a clean example with the features you want.
