Considering a trade to a V8...
...Tundra.
Well Camaro faithful, the time has come. I recently got a Bryant ski boat and now I'm stuck in a sticky situation. My wife's Envoy is a strong I6 4.2 Vortec but it just doesn't have the umph I'd like to trust pulling a 3500lb boat and trailer off a slick launch. I've found a great deal on a 2008 5.7L Tundra double cab and I've setup to drive out Saturday and most likely drive home in it. The kicker is I just paid off the Envoy and don't want to add another payment so trading the Camaro is the only option I really have there. I've loved my car since day one and she loves it as much as me. Yeah, yeah it's just a V6 but it's my first new car purchase and my gut tells me I may regret it one day. I still plan on getting a V8 model Camaro in the next few years for a toy so I haven't given up on the Camaros yet lol. My dad has looked for his 69 Chevelle for years and regrets ever selling it. I know the two cars are a little hard to compare but I thought I'd ask if any of you regret selling their first sports car? Please advise |

Now you have an SUV and a truck. Sorry.
Sell the envoy and get a truck. Then you have a truck, a camaro, and your boat. Consider getting a truck that isnt as nice. Boats really are a pain in the ass, and lose value instantly, so if you are getting this boat on a whim, dont. But if you really want to keep the boat and the camaro, the OBVIOUS choice is to get rid of the envoy, and get a truck (make the payments work) |

I just hate the thought of having just paid one vehicle off and then taking on another loan within a month. The trade in for the Envoy wouldn't be upside down either though... hmm. |

Toyota :shivers:
lol, got to get the vehicle for things you want to do and if the payment or car doesn't do what you need, time to move on. Hope you get back in the Camaro!

I'd be losing the year of payments and down payment on my Camaro though. I'll know for sure by Saturday what I'm gonna do. |

I would ditch the Envoy, IMO. Maybe get a slightly older/cheaper truck.
