Used Car of the Day: 2017 Chevrolet SS

by Tim Healey

Published: February 22nd, 2023

I'll admit it -- the one chance I got to drive a Chevrolet SS, I was a bit disappointed, mostly because the manual transmission felt a bit too rubbery for me. That said, I still love the idea of this car -- a full-size performance sedan with a manual transmission and a big honkin' V8.

Maybe I should drive on over to Michigan and give this 2017 Chevrolet SS a shot. Maybe the car is better than I remember.

The seller here is the original owner, and the car apparently has been garaged in the winter. The seller claims that a "technician from the original development team at GM" has maintained the car. Not only that, but the seller says he or she was the vehicle dynamics engineer for GM. So the seller is an SS expert -- and there's a unique Easter egg awaiting the buyer.

Outside of some custom stitching, the tires (Michelin 4S's), and a few other items, the car is stock. It has been tracked and has some minor chips.

The seller asks $48,000 and the car has a tick over 39K miles on it.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Best car I've ever owned. Magnaride allowed it to handle like a much smaller car. Aesthetics a little meh, but amazing acceleration and very nice interior. Owned for five years and not a single issue. And rather unique. I saw fewer than 10 driving the Chicago area the entire time I owned it.

ToolGuy Based solely on the comments here, I purchased a little more TSLA yesterday.
Mebgardner If you live in either Oregon or Mass., please decide to re-elect these two senators. If you want this state of affairs to change, then decide to elect people that will bring the fight.This statement got my attention: "If the device (cars in this instance) have the ability to monitor and remotely share information, then that’s ultimately what will happen."By this logic, we're all F'ed. If devices can be used, then they will be. Nuclear weapons are guaranteed to be used somewhere on the planet.Concentrate people, humanity faces existential risks. Vote Well, Vote Often. Who will be in office, faced with a Launch On Warning command, surrounded by staff and family members, councilling God Knows What? Who do you want that person to be, sitting in that chair?Yeah, not about cars.

1995 SC Usually stream in the Android Auto equipped cars. 99x came back on in Atlanta so I'll use iHeart for that if I'm feeling nostalgic. Also put everything I own on a server and I'll sync it with my phone and use it like an old school iPod. I've tried to get away from all the subscriptions.With the Thunderbird I am an idiot. I put a bunch of playlists on cassette (guess that is a mixtape) and use them. I do have a bluetooth to cassette adapter I'll use on trips so I can hear the maps directions. I just don't really want to modernize it...the tape deck looks right in the dash and Maxell still makes blanks up to 90 minutes. Given the existence of cassette adapters though this was a waste of time (especially given I had to rehab a tape deck) but what else did I have to do in 2020.
