I almost pulled the trigger in the last MY SS.Any experience or thoughts on these? They seem to be selling for about 40k-50k with low to mid mileage. Need the 4 doors. Worth it?
My biggest gripe is the rear seats do not fold down, you got a 2 foot square pass through. So if you can't stuff it through that opening then you are not going to be taking or carrying it. The 2014 have a regular suspension, the 15 to 17 have mag ride, but the 14's handle the best but they are on the slightly rough side if you are on less than smooth road surfaces, but it isn't punishing. 14's are also all auto's but the paddle shifts are crisp not lightning fast but also not any real pause between shifts. 15 to 17 about 25% of those came in 6 speed. Also the final drive gearing is 3.27 for the Auto and the manuals got a higher 3.70 to help with acceleration and to keep the 0-60 times about the same.Any experience or thoughts on these?

It is crazy they are basically selling for the same and even more now than when they were new… for a while gm was heavily incentivizing these to move them..
Thats what I was thinking as well, a Pontiac G8 GT would be cheaper but I dont think they made them past 2010. IMO, I think they look nicer too.love the car but not willing to pay MSRP for a 7 year old car, especially a chevy
FYI... a pontiac G8 GT is basically the same car for a third of the price
I doubt you are looking, but you can find some pretty clean caprice police cars on FB market etc for cheap… some have been cam swapped etc… I have been tempted. I would do the DOD delete, exhaust and a decent little cam…by cheap I mean between 10-15K for most..

SCHWIIIINNNNGGGG !!!!!
One of these has my name written alllllll over it.
They sure hell do have that issue. The plastic vent that the windshield wipers poke out of is unobtanium and has been for the last 5 years, so anything happens to it you are SOL on trying to replace it. The headlights are $1250 a piece, then the knee airbags that are below the steering column dash pad is another thing as the US spec are gone you can buy the Australian types but since they do not have the DOT code they are not approved to be installed on any US spec SS/Holden.Ive heard that the caprice PPVs are a little more difficult as far as parts availability. Like they used Australian specific parts on the police cars but the G8 and SS dont have this issue.
