Default why is camaros resale higher then mustangs

just looking through the autotrader you can't get a 99-01 camaro under $16.000 unless you want a 95-97.
looking at a mustang same years $8-10 now the stangs have more kms which means the were daily drivers and i guess theres more of them since the last year was 02 for camaro so was wonding why a camaros resale is higher is it the bigger motor and one more gear .

depends a lot on where you're at but in general, since they don't make em no more you'd kinda figure that there'd be a premium on them. They are one of the last true blue collar muscle cars out of GM. You also have 50 more hp, another gear, and a lot more potential in the small block with just heads/cam/intake kind of mods.

1 - They don't make 'em anymore AND Chevy has really not come up with an option to replace.

2 - There were fewer of them made.

3 - They cost more when new.

the new camaro looks like GARBAGE in person. I saw it in chicago last year and it was horrible. Everyone had their eyes focused on the GT500 and Dodges new Challenger.. more visually appealing eye candy.

half the car didnt pass DOT's inspection anyways so when it comes out, itll be "watered down"

Mustangs are cheaper because the market is saturated with them. If the v6 guys werent buying them, you wouldnt see mustangs and there would be no GT, Bullitt, Mach 1, Cobra, Shelby GT500, Shelby GT, Hertz GT-H, ect...

It was originally offered with three engines—a 170 C.I. six cylinder, a 260 C.I. 2 bbl V8 or a 289 C.I. 4 bbl V8 and came with a three-speed, four-speed or automatic.
