Currently looking at adding another Yank with 4 seats for the family.
Anything to watch out for on the V6 models or late camaros generally?

Thanks.
Last time I had a Camaro it was an F body 76.

We have had 2 V6 Gen 5 Camaros, my wife still has one. Generally not a lot to watch out for, engine reliable etc. Radio is a pain with just every other 10th, cannot remember whether it is odd or even. I also had a V8, more power but the V6 is OK for UK roads.

yes, I had a test drive in one on the weekend. For the size of the car it was a hell of a lot quicker than I was expecting!
I'm also looking at a couple in Germany.

Anyone know if there's anything to pay importing a used one in from there?
I presume I just go to Germany hand over euros and drive it back insuring the car on the Vin number?

that would be my understanding too - as long as it's passed the TüV and had the duties paid I think you're golden (apart from getting a new number from DVLA. Might be an opportunity to get a nifty non-ageing number)
