A used Chevrolet Camaro in the UAE starts at AED 31,000, a 2018 convertible, and runs to AED 119,990 for a 2023 coupe. There are 9 active listings on CarsClub, all between 2018 and 2024, and the model drew 1,410 views in the last 30 days.
Note what is missing from that year range: nothing newer than 2024. Chevrolet ended Camaro production, and that fact changes the buying calculation in ways no listing page will tell you.
What the listings show
| Price (AED) | Year | Body |
|---|---|---|
| 31,000 | 2018 | Convertible |
| 48,998-58,999 | 2018 | Coupe |
| 55,418-66,428 | 2020 | Coupe |
| 83,309-89,547 | 2024 | Coupe |
| 119,990 | 2023 | Coupe |
The 2018 convertible at AED 31,000 is the cheapest way into the model by a wide margin, and the 2024 coupes at AED 83,309 to AED 89,547 sitting below a 2023 coupe at AED 119,990 tells you that trim and engine matter far more than model year on this car. A V8 SS will always out-price a V6 of the same or newer vintage.
V6 or V8
This is the decision, and the honest answer is not the one enthusiasts give.
The V6 is the better everyday car in the UAE. It is cheaper to buy, materially cheaper to insure, easier on fuel and tyres, and in Dubai traffic you will use a fraction of either engine's output. It also carries a lower thermal load, which matters more here than in the markets these cars were designed for.
The V8 is the better car to own and the better car to sell. A 6.2-litre SS is what people actually want from a Camaro, and that demand holds its price up. If you buy a V6 you will find the resale market thinner, because the buyer pool for a V6 muscle car is smaller than the buyer pool for a V8 one.
The uncomfortable version: if you cannot comfortably afford the V8's running costs, buy the V6 and accept the weaker resale, or buy neither. A V8 bought at the edge of a budget becomes a car you cannot afford to fuel, insure or re-tyre, and those are exactly the costs that come due first. Fuel is not trivial on these engines, check current rates on the UAE petrol prices page and calculate against your real mileage.
The value buy
The 2020 coupes at AED 55,418 to AED 66,428 are the value buy.
They sit after the 2019 model-year facelift, which corrected the most criticised element of the sixth-generation car's styling, and they have absorbed most of their depreciation while remaining recent enough for the interior electronics to feel current. At that money there is also room in the budget for a proper inspection and a tyre and brake contingency, which on a performance coupe is not optional.
The 2018 cars at AED 48,998 to AED 58,999 are tempting but pre-facelift, and the AED 31,000 convertible needs particular scrutiny, a soft top that has spent eight UAE summers outdoors is a real cost item, and mechanism and fabric replacement is not cheap.
What discontinuation means
Chevrolet has ended Camaro production, and there are two ways to read that for a used buyer.
The pessimistic read is that a discontinued nameplate loses dealer attention, parts stocking gets thinner over time and the car becomes harder to service conveniently.
The optimistic read, which the evidence supports better for V8 muscle cars specifically, is that the last of a long-running, well-loved engine format tends to hold value rather than collapse. The same dynamic is visible in the market for the final Dodge Challengers, our Dodge Challenger Last Call guide covers how that has played out here.
What it means practically: the V8 cars are the ones with a resale story. The V6 cars are the ones where discontinuation is more likely to cost you. If you are buying a Camaro partly as an asset rather than purely as transport, that distinction should decide your engine.
Chevrolet's UAE service network remains substantial, so servicing is not an immediate concern. Parts availability over a five-to-ten-year horizon is a reasonable thing to ask a dealer about before you commit.
There is a second-order effect worth planning for. When a model ends, the supply of used examples stops being replenished from new, so over the next few years the pool of available cars shrinks while the pool of people who want one does not. That is the mechanism behind the price firming you see on desirable discontinued performance cars, and it is also why the good examples get harder to find. In practical terms: if you want a well-specified, low-mileage V8, the window for finding one at a sensible price is now rather than in three years, and the cars that will still be on the market then are the tired ones.
The flip side, and the thing to protect yourself against, is that a shrinking supply of good cars means sellers of bad ones get bolder. Expect to see higher asking prices on cars with patchy history as the model's reputation firms up. A discontinued badge is not a condition report, and you should still walk away from a poor car at a good price.
UAE-specific checks
Cooling system, first and always. A V8 in 45°C traffic works its cooling hard. Check for any overheating history, inspect the radiator and condenser for sand packing, and run the air conditioning stationary on maximum cold for fifteen minutes.
Tyres, as a set. Performance tyres degrade on heat cycles as well as mileage here. Four matching tyres of similar manufacture date suggest a careful owner; four mismatched brands suggest somebody buying the cheapest thing available, which tells you how the rest of the car was treated.
Modifications. Muscle cars attract them. Aftermarket exhausts, tunes and suspension may affect warranty, insurance and registration. Ask what has been changed and whether it is reversible.
Accident history. Run the chassis number through CarsClub's VIN check and work through our used car inspection checklist. Confirm any outstanding finance is settled before transfer, the RTA publishes requirements at rta.ae.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a used Chevrolet Camaro in the UAE?
CarsClub currently lists 9 active Camaros from AED 31,000 for a 2018 convertible to AED 119,990 for a 2023 coupe. The 2018 coupes sit at AED 48,998 to AED 58,999, 2020 coupes at AED 55,418 to AED 66,428, and 2024 coupes at AED 83,309 to AED 89,547.
Should I buy a Camaro V6 or V8 in the UAE?
The V6 is cheaper to buy, insure, fuel and re-tyre, and is the more sensible daily car in Dubai traffic. The V8 SS is what buyers actually want, so it holds value better and sells faster. Choose the V8 only if its running costs sit comfortably inside your budget.
Is the Chevrolet Camaro discontinued, and does that hurt resale?
Chevrolet has ended Camaro production, which is why no listings are newer than 2024. For V8 models this has historically supported values rather than damaged them, as happened with the final Dodge Challengers. V6 models are more exposed, since their buyer pool is smaller.
Which Camaro year is the best used buy in the UAE?
The 2020 coupes at roughly AED 55,000 to AED 66,000. They follow the 2019 facelift, have absorbed most of their depreciation, and still feel current inside. That price also leaves room for an inspection and a tyre and brake contingency, which a performance coupe needs.
What should I check on a used Camaro in the UAE?
Cooling system condition and any overheating history first, since a V8 works hard in this heat. Then tyres as a matched set with recent date codes, any aftermarket modifications that could affect insurance or registration, and full accident and finance history before transfer.
