Can you dmod or is trade as is? If you can dmod I would take it and run!

tramtwo · 08-03-2012, 04:01 PM

yeah what he said

red70tvhs · 08-03-2012, 04:03 PM

Yep. Not even a tough call there.

freefallin2005 · 08-03-2012, 04:06 PM

i def would take off springs, hood, cai, lights etc etc but calipers and wheels would be tricky and i still have to talk the wife into it. Right now i have no camaro payments and i would have one if i did this deal so thats the hold up plus i just bought a $45,000 truck.....

why, you gonna be road course racing?

jesserayjames · 08-03-2012, 04:25 PM

Depends on how much you want or need a track car, I'm fine with my SS, and just add the 1LE stuff as wanted, or needed...................... JRJ

I find it hard to believe they offered you that much for your trade. They definitely wouldn't let you demod if they already made an offer. If they're not lying to you I would take that deal in a heartbeat.

Silverlsinva · 08-03-2012, 08:19 PM

Are u actually gonna drive it? 900 miles in maybe a year of driving thats like two weeks worth for me. Its your money why dont u wait to test drive the 1LE and see if u like the way it drives first?

I would say that is a dang good trade allowance they offered you. I know you have stuck alot of $$$ in it with mods, but when doing a dealer trade you can't expect to get any of that money back. I doubt very much if they would alot you to do any de-modding, at least appearancewise.

Your Camaro listed new for around $39k probably, and with only 900 miles on it, it's like brand new. A $6k trade difference sounds like a really good deal to me. What can the loan payment be on $6k ..... $100 a month? If you can swing it, by all means go for it.

After all, it's only money, you can't take it with you, and you only live once.

I am feeling this... Only I am going from a SGM to maybe a 1LE. You think they will still be for sale in March?

Garret · 08-04-2012, 01:09 AM

why trade in a car you dont drive for a different car you wont drive?
it is obvious that your car has spent more time in the shop than on the road anyway, since you got it. Why would you need a track car? If this means that you will actually drive it then by all means trade in the dust collector for a vehicle.

2011 ss/rs with mods would be a hard sell at 36k retail.
