I think this is also probably the best choice. At that point, if you hate the new design...then just get yourself a 2015 5th gen for a good price.

From my understanding the V8 will get 20% more waves then a V6.

I have a home in Summerlin. Right next to the Red Rock Golf course. And you?

Over by 215 / St. Rose area, should do a cruise sometime when I can ditch the wife and kid lol

Srm1135 · 08-10-2013, 03:47 PM

Lol, I got the wife and kid problem too. My wife is pretty cool about it though. We should defiantly go for a spin.

Just gonna toss a new idea in the pot, how sweet would it be to play with your v6 until the 6th gen comes out, and in the mean time until then, dump a percentage of your income into an account for a healthy down payment of an SS, and in the end be able to swing both of them? V6 as your daily driver, and your SS for your track/drag car. Just imagine how awesome that would be!

That's what I'm hoping for when I graduate Rose-Hulman! Just some food for thought!

SS in one year, if you know you will want an SS within a year or two then it would make zero sense to buy a V6 now just to trade for an SS and considering you will take a $5k plus loss on the V6 if you trade it in after only 1 year.

NYYFan325 · 08-10-2013, 06:28 PM

Where does everyone get that 5K loss from? Again I traded my 1LS in after 1 year and did not take anywhere near 5K. As I mentioned on the past page I was ~1K upside down with a $500 down payment on my SS.

That is a definite possibility. I'd say 90%. Thanks.

Life's short, ball out. Their is a deal out their for you. I traded in a 2013 premium 5.0 for my 45th 2ss, I had to look FAR AND WIDE but made up a majority of my negative equity getting my camaro 7 grand under blue book (1800 mile 2012 2ss 45th for 32,500)

SS

Srm1135 · 08-10-2013, 08:29 PM

It's for sure going to be the SS. Either next year hopefully, if business keeps up or when the new model comes out. No sense in getting an SS and then a year later they change the body style.
