Used Car of the Day: 2014 Chevrolet SS

by Tim Healey

Published: August 13th, 2024

Today we go large, powerful American sedan with V8 power via this 2014 Chevrolet SS.

This was one has 92K miles on it and a brand new engine -- which is a bit interesting, to put it mildly. The ad doesn't say why the engine has been replaced though it's an automatic, so that would, in theory, rule out a blown engine via a dumb gear change.*

(*if this a known problem with SSs, I wasn't aware of it).

Also new is the radiator, fuel pump, water pump, battery, belts, and pulleys. The brakes have been upgraded, as well.

Our seller says the car is in good shape overall and is being sold because the owner isn't putting enough miles on it.

The ask is $32,500 and the car is in California.

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.

If you are good with the auto in one of these wouldn't a retired Caprice PPV be a cheaper bet for roughly the same experience?

  Excellent point, probably with options being the major difference.

  Unless you can find one of the very rare “detective” cars, the PPVs have an interior that’s not very comfortable. Flat seats with equipment cutouts, an equipment mount instead of a center console, and a plastic back seat. They’re also very spartan in terms of equipment, and the suspension sacrifices some handling for durability.

  I think I'd be good with all that so long as I could get a real back seat.

Unobtanium nearing 100K for $32,5... yeahhhhhhh... nahhhhhhh... buy the collector grade example without collision damage/blemished title for more coin and not lose your shirt when you sell in the future.

  This car is probably bound for some budding "content creator"

Autozilla This 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit GTI is a great find, especially with its original parts and restored interior. The manual transmission and rust-free body make it even more appealing for classic car enthusiasts. If you're looking to keep it running smoothly or need spare parts for your own project, check out Autozilla for a wide range of OEM and aftermarket parts!
Nrd515 As clueless as the car companies seem to be at this point in time, even they know people hate even the idea of subscription service. It's a total, "Nope, not even going to consider this car, you can bite me!" thing with me, and apparently a lot of other people.
Calrson Fan I owned a 93 compact Toytota. Bought new after looking at used as the resale value was so stupid high on Toy trucks at the time that new was the only way to go. V6, extended cab & 4WD were the only way to option these small trucks so they had some capability/utility. One optioned like this Mazda is pretty useless.
Picard234 I'm not sure I'm going to rush in to trade my Soul for this. Interior does look pretty nice.
VoGhost Hmmm, Stellantis is failing and Stellantis has essentially no EVs to sell. Coincidence? I think not.
