Im looking at getting a 2014 caprice ppv and was wondering what a good price is? I currently have the opportunity to purchase a 2014 for $23,000 with 2000 miles(never been in service). It has the spotlights and push bumper as well. Is this a good deal?

If it's a V8 I would say that is a pretty good deal. Depending on when it was first titled you may even have some factory warranties still active and that sometimes can make one car a better deal than another.

Things to be aware of with such low mileage cars are lot rot or thing that get damaged from lack of use. weak batteries and stiff rubber are some. Discount for things you will have to soend money on right away.

Good luck and welcome to the board!!

I second everything Steve said. Unquestionably a good deal.

Appreciate the input guys. Seller says it still has 2 years warranty left so that is good. I'm glad I came across this forum. There isn't nearly as much info on these cars elsewhere as there is on this forum. Will definitely contribute any and all mods I do to keep the information plentiful :mrgreen:

Is there a website other than KBB that shows what the car's value is? I understand being a fleet car and not for sale to the public new makes this an arduous task to properly price these.

The NADA business side will probably have auction data on them, but you have to pay to see that stuff.
