Pre-purchase inspection checklist

2017 Chevrolet Camaro

VIN 1G1FB1RX9H0138344

Inspect these first — most-reported on this model

Steering (58 owner reports)Steering should be tight and centered — no play, clunks or wandering. Test at low and highway speed; listen for power-steering whine.
Power Train (54 owner reports)Drive through every gear: watch for slipping, hard or delayed shifts, and shudder. Check for transmission/driveline leaks and noises.
Electrical System (25 owner reports)Test every electrical feature: windows, locks, infotainment, charging and all lights. Watch for flickering, dead accessories or warning lights.
Engine (25 owner reports)Listen for knocks or ticking, check for leaks and blue/white exhaust smoke, and make sure it doesn't overheat. No check-engine light should be on.
Visibility/wiper (15 owner reports)Have a trusted mechanic inspect this system as part of a pre-purchase inspection.
Air Bags (12 owner reports)Confirm the airbag light turns on then off at startup — if it stays lit there's a fault (costly, and a safety risk). Check for signs of prior deployment.

Paperwork & identity

VIN on the dash, driver door jamb and title all match exactly.
Seller's name matches the title and photo ID.

No blue (oil) or white (coolant) smoke from the exhaust.
Fluids clean and at level — oil, coolant, brake and transmission.
No oil, coolant or transmission leaks under the car after it idles.
All dashboard warning lights clear a few seconds after startup.

Body, tyres & underside
