El Chevrolet Camaro is one of the most famous Muscle Cars of all time. Its origins date back to 1967, when the first generation was launched in order to overshadow the Ford Mustang.
Until the year 2002 four generations of this model were marketed, which did not have a fifth generation until the year 2010, when Chevrolet surprised everyone with a new model that recovered the essence of the original model in terms of aesthetics.
Precisely the fifth generation of the model is the only one that has officially arrived in Europe. It arrived in 2011 and at the end of 2013 it received a restyling, which gave the American sports car a somewhat more aggressive and modern image, in addition to other elements such as the Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system.

The Chevrolet Camaro of Km0 and second hand
The history and Chevrolet Camaro It is well known in our country, although its sales have never been high. The reason for that is that General Motors never opted to market the model directly on the European continent and Spain (except the fifth generation).
Despite this situation, finding units in the semi new market or kilometer zero is not very complicated. There are units registered between 2010 and 2015 (fifth generation) that have rates between 25 y 30 thousand euros.
In any case, if we were interested in a unit we would have to contact a parallel importer to look for it and bring it to us exclusively.
