Don't waste your money. It's the same car. You lose.

Revo1 · 01-30-2012, 08:35 PM

Um, he's trying to sucker you. Trade an SS/RS for an SS/RS? Please.

EMB135Driver · 01-30-2012, 08:38 PM

Wouldn't you have to pay sales tax again? He'll put you in a 2012 and the payment will be the same, but you'll have lots more of them. Unless you are somehow unhappy with your current car, I'd say keep it.

There is no way you get the better end of the deal with this. Sorry for being a skeptic. Hope I'm wrong.

Sounds like the bait. Time to see the switch. I do hope he comes with something good. Maybe they are hurting on new sales numbers. Keep us posted.

SSGUNNER · 01-30-2012, 09:28 PM

Sorry but their gonna F U no matter what. Their looking to find a way to make money not lose money. I agree though doesnt hurt to listen.

dshep214 · 01-30-2012, 09:52 PM

I actually did the same thing. Traded my 2010 1ss for a 2011 2ssrs for the same payment. They had some rebates out when I did it too

PLuche · 01-31-2012, 12:40 PM

So what did the he come up with??? Any good numbers....

Obzen · 01-31-2012, 12:56 PM

So you'll trade your car that you already put money and work into for a stock one just because its 2 years newer?

If it was a generation of the vehicle I could understand but this just sounds like he's trying to make a sucker out of you.

I told him that it would have to be so good its a straight shot and I dont go upsidedown on it.. AND that I get to keep my rims and tires and exhaust and my sub box and amps.. He said no prob..

What do you guys think??

Sounds too good to be true!

It may cost you sales tax, but you're getting the benefit of a newer car and a better resale or trade in value at some point in time. Plus, there's nothing in the world like driving out with a new car even if it's pretty much what you traded in. Good luck, though, on your decision.

2001ragtop · 01-31-2012, 02:40 PM

Why is he so desperate to get rid of that 2012 model? what's wrong with it?
