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

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"

Namesakeone It should be a name that evoques the wild west, that emphasizes the go-anywhere nature of how an SUV should be used. Something like a wild animal, maybe something like a horse. I've got it! How about . . . Mustang! Oh, wait. They already did that, didn't they?
Slavuta There Used to be Pontiac Trans Sport.... That "Trans Sport" part has a totally new meaning these days
210delray You need to change the headline -- it's a 2025 model.
Jeff How about Aspire for a new subcompact crossover from Ford because it aspires to be bigger and its buyers would aspire for a better vehicle if they could afford it.
Jeff Carlos Travares wants to cut costs by 1/3. I don't see Chrysler or Dodge surviving too much longer especially since they are being literally starved for product. The success of the new Charger could extend Dodge a few more years but a failure might be a quick end to Dodge. I could see Stellantis moving more manufacturing for Jeep and Ram to Mexico which I believe will eventually be the only surviving brands of the old Chrysler. As for the Durango if it continues it will not be for too many more years it is an outdated product that I doubt will be redesigned especially when Jeep has a comparable product. Stellantis needs to address the high dealer inventory level by giving better incentives and low interest rates to clear excessive inventory.
