Trading a Camaro for a Silverado - Page 8 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Looks like I may be keeping the Camaro. The lowest I can get between 3 dealers is $35,847. After trade it's looking like 22k roughly out the door. I owe 11k and I'm not willing to bring my balance up to 20k+ right now

If you do, make sure you get a '14 or '15 Silverado with a 6.2L motor, you'll be fine! I have both, the truck is bad (Superchips has a programmer out now for the 8-speed transmission).

I'm holding out for a Duramax again. Had one before the Camaro and it's the only way I won't feel gutted when it gets replaced with a truck.

I do not know what your monthly payment is(not asking), but with a $11k pay off on a 2013 seems to only make sense to keep it. Pay it off, pay a little extra per month or use the extra to rent a truck when needed.

Would also recommend keeping the Camaro 3-6 months at least after the final payment is made. Get use to what it feels like to not owe on a vehicle. I owe on my truck & cannot wait to get it paid off.

Also get a GM credit card & build up the GM points. That may suffice as down payment one day if you want a new truck down the road.

Amen to this. We put almost $4K down on the 1LE from our GM card. It was great!

I was going to buy another Duramax--until I drove a new 6.2 gas! I forgot about the Duramax pretty quick....

When you see a Camaro on the street you'll have flashbacks.

I went without a truck for a while. I got this 1991 F250 4x4 now with a long bed. It runs and drives good enough to be a daily driver any it's a great truck for $3K. I have a Harley StreetGlide and an older Lexus 300ES that is currently loaned out.

I Bought my first new vehicle ever a 2015 ltz crew and went back the following weekend to have a spot buffed I found during purchase and instead of giving me a courtesy car they gave me keys to the 1le I had been drooling over the last week and I was lucky enough to have both,but If not I would of have to choose my truck I think my camaro would probably tow funny haha! Someone mentioned the 6.2 and I agree definitely bad ass but depending how crazy you get towing my 5.3 rolls like a champ

Not at the prices they want and the economy it gets. Rather have the diesel if I'm going to shell out 25-30k for a truck.
