Hey Scotty a guy is selling me a 2016 camaro LT for 14k and it has 138,000 miles, are these cars good ? I’m tempted on buying it because it’s a nice looking car, how long will it last me ?
Camaros look nice, but at 138k, and $14,000, I'd keep looking for a better car and a better deal. Here's a good place get info on cars:

That is the first year of the current Generation Camaro. That particular one has the high feature 3.6 L V6 engine. You didn’t state which transmission it has, but regardless I would pass on it, esp. at that mileage. GM quality has been on a decline for many years. The Camaro has many electronic modules on board (29 or so when I last checked) and at that high mileage it’s going to become a money pit trying to diagnose electrical gremlins that will pop up. GM is not known for (reliable) electronics. Also, up until now GM had not fixed the starter issue on their Camaros (there was class action lawsuit against that); it took a DIYer in 2020 to find out it was a grounding issue. Imagine that! It’s too much of a risk getting a first year high mileage Camaro from a declining car company.
