Trade in a 2012 2ss auto for a 2013 2ss hot wheels edition stick - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

What is everyone's opinion on trading in my 2012 SS IOM with IOM interior with 8000 miles on it for a 2013 Camaro hot wheels edition. MY SS is an auto without the RS package and the hot wheels edition has the RS package and is a manual. What do you guys think of the hot wheels edition and is it worth taking a hit on the trade in???

Do you guys think the hot wheels badging is cheesy? The 1LE is a nice package but you can't really find any of these around Fresno.

Get the hot wheels but take off the badges and flame decal. I know that most of that is what your paying for but then you have a Camaro in the gorgeous Kinetic Blue!!!!! It will look sick and I know everyone wishes that was a color choice without the package. If you can financially "take the hit" you might have the only Kinetic Blue Camaro rather than another hot wheels Camaro.

I was also reading a lot about the 1LE that seams like a great car for the money also. They say the improvements far out way the cost of the $3500 package.

I'd say the 1LE is a much better option. Aside from the color (Kinetic blue), I don't like the appearance of the Hot Wheels edition.

I can dream but could not afford to take the financial hit. I have another child on the way and I have to swallow a $6500 hit in daycare expense alone. That is what the wealth of knowledge on this forum does to us members. When the next greatest is always talked about we all dream a little!!

I love the Hot Wheels edition Color & trim package, however I'd definitely remove the Hot Wheels emblems. Those are cheesy IMO.

I'd pass on it personally. I think the HW package is overpriced, especially when 1LE is only $3500.
