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"

Andarris Here in the Toronto area I haven't seen a 2006-2012 with intact rocker pannels for over two years now. I presume everywhere around the Great Lakes is the same ? They were super cheap dhring the first two years of the pandemic - could get one with less than 85K for around $6500 certified or a little higher mileage for $5000. Glad I skipped it, even in 2021 some of the 10's &11's were displaying corosion like you'd see on a 7 year older Impala, Camry or Accord. Also the mid-model switch to EPS made me balk at the few clean ones I found.

Michael S6 The 3 Amigos better hope that the oil spike is short lived as 4-5 dollar a gallon gas would put a damper on their cash cows especially "Ford's strategic shift" of killing off the escape/Lincoln cousin. Most other automakers have a full line of vehicles with much better full economy. GM is sucking air and its Cadillac devision is mostly EV and geriatric line up of ICE cars and SUV's that were supposed to be phased out this year. The expensive gas may push shoppers toward EV but GM's horrible EV reliability is a barrier.
Tane94 I read the GM press release about first quarter sales 2026 vs 2025 and Buick is getting its butt kicked:Buick Total* 41,654 61,822 -32.6 The future is bleak for Buick.
