How much does the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro cost?

Prices are up 2.15% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 1,227 listings available, which suggests you have a meaningful number of options to compare.

Is the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro a good car?

Yes — the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro earns a 4.7/5 user rating and an 8.2/10 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 overview also frames it as a car with a strong personality and a clear focus on driving enjoyment, even if that comes with tight cabin space and limited practicality. With 31.0% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro reliable?

Owners rate it 4.7/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. The owner feedback also points to a car that people feel good about living with over time, especially when it comes to its strong performance and overall appeal. The expert driving notes reinforce that sense of confidence by describing the car as a serious, capable machine that can be counted on to deliver its intended experience. If you buy used, the main long-term ownership risk is less about the car’s character and more about finding one that has been cared for properly.

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

At 52.9% 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 hands-on inspection of body panels, paint consistency, and any signs of prior repair. Because this car is often bought for performance and style, condition matters as much as mileage, so pay close attention to wear on the interior, tires, brakes, and suspension. If you are comparing multiple listings, focus on how well the car has been maintained and whether its equipment matches the trim you want.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Camaro’s cabin and feature set vary by trim, and the base setup is more restrained than the higher-performance versions. The expert notes also point to nicer interior materials and more aggressive detailing on the better-equipped models, so you should compare equipment carefully if you want the most complete package.
• Powertrain: The car is offered with a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, a V6, and a 6.2-liter V8 in the performance-focused version described here. The expert notes also emphasize that the 1LE package transforms the car into a track-focused machine, so you should match the engine and chassis setup to how you plan to drive it.
• Safety package: The Camaro includes Teen Driver and a reversing camera as standard equipment. Available driver-assistance features include blind-spot warning with lane-change assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear parking-assist sensors, but automatic emergency braking and automatic steering aids are not part of the package described here.
• Infotainment: The car uses an 8-inch touchscreen with MyLink, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The system is described as easy to use, and the test vehicle also included OnStar services and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.
• Fuel efficiency: The expert notes cite 19 mpg in combined driving for the SS 1LE 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 3 trim levels: LS, LT, SS.

Here's the short version:

• LS: This is the entry point, and it is the trim to consider if you want the Camaro experience at the lowest starting point. It is also the trim that can be paired with the 1LE package in the expert notes, which makes it the best-value path if you care most about performance per dollar.
• LT: This is the middle ground if you want more equipment than the LS without jumping straight to the most expensive performance setup. It should suit you if you want a more balanced daily driver with Camaro style and capability.
• SS: This is the choice for you if you want the strongest performance character and the most serious hardware described in the expert notes. It is the trim to buy if you care most about power, handling, and the most intense driving experience.

The safety content also notes that the Camaro does not include automatic braking or automatic steering aids, so you should not expect a full suite of advanced driver-assistance features on any trim.

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

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

• Deal availability: 31.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,227 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 2.15% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 52.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $21,941, 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 $23,578 sits slightly above last year's $23,082.

That upward move suggests the Camaro has held demand well enough to support pricing. For a future seller, that is a useful sign because it indicates buyers are still willing to pay for this model year’s mix of style and performance. The fact that prices are rising rather than falling also suggests you may not want to wait too long if you are planning to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.7/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro safe?

The Camaro earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, 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. Available safety features include blind-spot warning with lane-change assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear parking-assist sensors. If you want automatic emergency braking or automatic steering intervention, this is not the right choice.

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:

• 31.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 52.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices are up 2.15% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2017 adds Teen Driver and keeps the Camaro’s modern infotainment and performance focus.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $21,508, the 2016 costs less than the current year's $23,578 average.
• It is a completely redesigned version with updated looks, a better interior, and the latest infotainment tech.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-year market position and the added 2017 safety and tech context, the 2017 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is saving money and you still want the redesigned Camaro formula, the 2016 is the smarter value play.

How does the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro compare to the 2017 Ford Mustang?

Our experts score the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro 8.2/10 and the 2017 Ford Mustang 7.8/10. The Camaro brings the stronger expert score, while the Mustang undercuts it on average used price. The Camaro also has the better city fuel economy in the comparison, while the Mustang offers more horsepower and a slightly larger pool of listings. If you want the sharper overall expert pick, the Camaro has the edge; if you want lower average pricing and a bit more power, the Mustang is the alternative to consider.
